I am going through a really stressful time and I need a good book (or series!) that I can get lost in without having to think too hard. (It’s a hard balance, I know.)
I really enjoy speculative fiction but the genre is less specific. I have a hard time getting into romance, and fantasy that is so out there that I need a diagram to remember what character is what species etc.
I have read pretty much everything from M.R. Carey and have enjoyed them. I REALLY like horror and psychological thrillers but my brain feels so frazzled that I’m not sure if I can even handle them right now. (I have Parable of the Sower sitting half finished on my shelf for that very reason.) I guess if there’s one that is out there enough that it doesn’t feel like it could ever be real I might be more able to deal with that.
You have no idea how much I’ll appreciate any recommendations! I’m struggling over here real bad, and just need to escape.
