Experienced five excellent books (and one meh) book this year, but the last (seventh) one I read was so bad, it's akin to eating five consecutive five star meals, with the most perfect service, then having McDonalds, and then getting food poisoning.

Last book was a real doozy and (temporarily I hope) soured my reading capacity.

Now I can't focus on any long form fiction for more than around ten minutes.

Book 7 (?) August 10th 2023 Finished another book - deeply unsatisfying Living With The Dead by Kelly Armstrong Part of Otherworld Women series (Urban Modern Fantasy). Have read all prev books in (13 14?) series, this was the first one that I actively disliked. Partly it was large ensemble of main characters each chapter is a diff char viewpoint - there's a total of seven (?) characters. To many! Also intense icky adult themes with no advanced warning. #Books2023 #Books2023FD

@Faintdreams I know this feeling! Ugh! Great books leave me wanting more great books.
