I’m in a bit of a reading slump and I think part of the problem is my current physical TBR just isn’t matching my mood at all and I am feeling insanely uninspired.
Everything I have lined up is very dark/fall/winter/cold to the bone/spooky vibes, and I live in Minnesota so we are finally coming out of winter and I want something that feels more like that shift into spring. Not necessarily light and fluffy, but just… less heavy and dark?? More alive? Hopefully that makes sense.
I’m currently working through the Red Rising series which I’m loving, but it’s a lot, so I wouldn’t mind something a bit more standalone. (6 books that are creeping towards 1000 pages each makes me feel like Sisyphus)
Some books I’ve loved recently:
- Piranesi
- The Library at Mount Char
- American Gods (I know Neil Gaiman is evil, I found the book in a little free library and so did not support him)
- Red Rabbit
- When the Reckoning Comes
- I also read a bunch of Percival Everett and loved The Trees the most
- The Compound
I definitely like things that are a little weird or unsettling, unique, maybe slightly off in a good way. I also enjoy thrillers/whodunits/mysteries (The Da Vinci Code type stuf , and I’ve already read all of Lucy Foley).
I’ve kind of drifted away from romantasy, but I’d be open to something different like I’ve been curious about western romance lately but don't have any idea of where to start or what is good.
This is a lot of info and I am SO sorry but I hope that maybe it helps
Would love any recommendations!! I am going to put in an Alibris order!!!
