Hello! Super random question but I do need to know this: have you guys ever read a book where, no matter how much you love the genre/subgenre, after you read it you didn't want to even look at another one of its ilk for at least a month? This hasn't happened to me in quite some time, but I can think of some examples:

1. Well Met by Jen DeLuca—I was really excited when this came out, read it and absolutely despised its ending. I then proceeded to barely read any romance for 5 months afterwards (the pandemic did have me crawling back)
2. The Mask of Mirrors by M.A. Cerrick—I really enjoy political fantasies but I actively disliked the pacing, which is a shame because it does have a woo-woo magic system that's pretty cool if you're into astrology and/or tarot divination. This fantasy cleanse lasted 4 months where I spent most of that time reading manga lol
3. Just about every paranormal mystery/romance series—If you, like me, occasionally get the urge to read one of these every 6 months or so, you know that reading these can be so fun until you get to books 5-∞ and they remind you of why you do not return to the genre often.

These are mine, what are some of yours? Were there any books which healed your wounds after getting so badly burned?

As I'm reading more and more I'm discovering a lot about my reading habits! For a while I was a one book at a time kinda person and then I started reading a couple at a time, usually a novel, a graphic novel, and an audiobook, but the more I read right now I'm realizing I think I am a one book at a time person? I also think it depends on what my novel is because sometimes if my book is just too good, I don't want to read anything else because I don't want anything else to distract me from my book...

How many books do you read at a time and does it fluctuate?
