The worst part about finishing a book is trying to decide what to read next. It sometimes takes me DAYS to decide on something to read. Anyone else? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I read a really good book at the end of last year and it kind of put me in a reading slump. I had to let it sit for a moment and then I kind of didn't feel like reading anything else for a while.

This happens rarely to me but I've actually come to appreciate it when it does. I am trying to get into a "quality over quantity" mindset after a few years of just reading as much as I possibly could.

I feel like we should give books more time to "breathe" in general after we finish reading instead of always jumping into the next one straight away!
