I don't do it often but sometimes I'll find myself starting a new book immediately after finishing a another. I'm talking finish the last page of one book, pop it on the bookshelf, pick up a new one and get going no breaks in between. It can be a book from the same series or just a completely fresh start (e.g., I just finished book #1 of The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman and immediately picked up Wool by Hugh Howey). However, I've found if I don't give myself a teeny break, I feel like I'm still catching my breath from the previous book and can't settle into the new one as quickly. I don't really have a set rule on this, but I think at least a day or a good night's sleep between books lets me process the read and clear my mind for the next. I'm curious to see what other people's reading habits are and what works for them!

What's everyone favorite niche tropes in romance books? I'm not talking about enemies to lovers or grumpyxsunshine. My favorite is when either FMC/MMC gets injured and one of them has to wrap a bandage around them but they can't stand the thought of being so close to them because otherwise they will lose control. I feel like that's too specific lol.
