Keep buying books I’ve already read 😩

I’m really starting to annoy myself. My favourite genre is domestic noir/psychological thrillers with a twist. There are literally millions of them. Lately I’ve noticed I’ll be browsing in charity shops and think “ooh this looks good” only to start reading and find it awfully familiar. Then I check my kindle and discover I’ve bought and read it 3 years ago.

I think I need to start reading different types of fiction as I appear to have exhausted the supply of missing kids/controlling husbands and MILs/murderous Nannies, flatmates and neighbors and Mat leave colleagues who steal your life!

I’m the same, if Amazon didn’t tell me I’d already read it I would be repeatedly buying the same psychological thrillers.

I'm the same, I have to rely on goodreads to let me know if I've read it!
