11 days agoSwapping genres and reading something more fun, more gentle, or a different pace has always really helped me. When I finished my MA I could not pick up a book for about 8 months because I had always been given reading lists and had expectations of what I 'should' be reading, so choosing what to read felt huge. My Mom said to me in an airport 'just pick up a book!' and there was something in that realisation that I could pick up absolutely anything that really set me free. This is a brilliant post with fantastic advice 🫶🏻
