Struggling to Find a Book Better than Doomscrolling

I’m struggling to find a new book that makes me want to read rather than scroll 😐

The last book I was engulfed in a book was Barbara Kingsolver’s Demon Copperhead. I was a huge fan of hers for The Poisonwood Bible back when I was in high school – tried to read it again and couldn’t get back into it.

The last theme I had was LGBT stories (I’m a gay man):

I enjoyed Southermost by Silas House. Not as beautifully written as Kingsolver, but still a good read. Also read Brokeback Mountain – but that’s just a short story.

Before that was a theme of Christian books:

The Shack by WM Paul Young was a good read.

I tried to get into some nonfiction recently “No Bad Parts” and “Bad Blood”, but couldn’t stay engaged – same with gay romance “The Boyfriend Subscription”.

I’m a sucker for young adult books and devoured all the new Hunger Games prequels.

Recommendations are appreciated. I’m a Libby user, so happy to put holds in and read as they come in.
