I wonder if it's an occupational hazard with writers. When you know what goes into the sausage, it's harder to enjoy. I find myself slogging through the first sections of book, wondering, "Where is the flipping inciting incident?' I've been reading Tiktok books lately and I loved the Housemaid. Nothing special in the writing dept. but I couldn't put it down. Sometimes in a slump, I return to old favorites. Recently read Writers and Lover and my favorite book last year was Yellowface.

Currently taking a deep dive into nerdy German 19th century history with all of Andrea Wulf’s books. But I have lighter fare awaiting me!
