I've fallen out of love with reading, everything is a slog and piles of books lay around me only just started, unfinished and unloved.
I think a combination of perimeno, excessive phone use and not setting aside time to read has meant my attention span to really sink into a book and give it my all is limited.
I used to love lots of books, but mostly those where I've loved the characters. Now, in real life I've become a really grumpy 40 year old who likes very few people and this has been replicated by an inability to love book characters too.
In the past, some of my favourite books have been A Thousand Splendid Suns, The Island, A Little Life, most of Marian Keyes stuff, Memoirs of a Geisha....more recently i liked (but didn't love) American Dirt, Pachhinko, The Flat Share.
I went through a phase of liking psychological thrillers thrown into the mix too.
If anyone is able to recommend something I'd really love with characters I really like and want to read about, I would be hugely grateful.
