Itβs been a weird start of the year considering the books I choose to read. I find myself not wanting to struggle every week with how many books I can read. And how satisfying it is for others, but not for me. My mental health needs a break.
Saying no to Authors, to stories that are not interesting or relevant to me. Plus some covers, romance covers who tend to be the same over and over again. With no taste at all.
Somehow I feel this genre is getting to a level of destruction, what it was and what it is now.
Itβs like social media, βmy story is better than yoursβ, βI can writeβ, everybody can. Is it good enough? Word blocks, signature blocks, theme blocks, genre blocks… I wrote it first, bla, bla, bla.
People free provocations which make no sense in the end because they donβt know what started it.
So Iβm getting more and more selective. One book, two a month. Or none if I donβt feel the pull.
