I used the search bar to look for this and could not find anything, so I wanted to know if anyone on this app have any personal icks?
One of mine is half naked men on the cover , kind of like the old Heated Rivalry covers . Plus the MMC's being named Hayden ( any spelling ) , or a super duper clingy FMC . Admins can remove this if this has been asked but curiosity gets the better of me this morning

I'm a mom to a 2-year-old, and since he was born I've found it difficult to read/watch/engage with books/other media about families with young kids going through hard stuff. My mind goes to dark places, mostly thinking about all the terrible stuff that could happen to my kid.
Most recently, for example, my book club is reading A Guardian and a Thief and I couldn't get through 5 pages without reading the synopsis on Wikipedia and deciding I couldn't/wouldn't read the book at all.
I'm all for giving myself grace and putting these books off for a time, but I want to be able to engage with difficult topics again. Have you felt this way? Does it ever get easier? Or is it one of those things that you slowly learn to live with/navigate?
ETA: TY to all who have shared their experiences! It's very reassuring to know I'm not alone 🫂

Wow this prose is very heavy and constant. I’m struggling a little bit to follow but I’m also enjoying taking all of it in very slowly. Well… “enjoying” is maybe too lighthearted a word considering the content. But dang is this so necessary to absorb and process.
