It is only natural that you as a person will like some things more than others. Maybe you like couscous but not rice. Bright pink but not pastel pink. Burritos but not tacos (in which case you are wrong but I will accept your wrongness with grace). You get my point. However, today I tried an old favorite (marinated mushrooms) for the first time in years and I just didn’t like them anymore. Big sad.
The same is true with books. Even if you read books with similar themes there will be some stories you like more than others. Along that vein, I got to wondering if the books I loved in the past would still be favorites for me today.

Hello, hello! I’ve found myself, once again, being not in the mood to read. This has already happened several times this year and I’m not sure if it is a reflection on who I am as a person or the absolutely chaotic state of the world. Either way, here we are. And what is it that I do when I’m not in the mood to read? I do a book tag!

As a person who loves to talk about books, I spend I great deal of time discussing what I’m reading in the moment, what I just finished, or what I plan on picking up next. Rarely do I just have a chat about recent books that simply caught my eye.

Something I’ve been looking at lately is the books on my TBR. I started doing a massive TBR purge at the beginning of 2022 because, honestly, enough time had passed since I had put many of the books on my Goodreads TBR that my interest in them had wained and it was time to free up some space. Yes, I know, there isn’t a limit to how many books you had add to your to-read shelf on Goodreads but if that number gets too big it makes me have a little internal panic. Easier on my brain to just tidy up.
