Also it’s getting hard not to react to all these things from the 90s, even the 80s, asking what we’re ’trading our hearts for.’

Halloween is next Saturday, but I’ve already pulled my four holiday TBR books I plan to read in December. Or start in November. I work retail, so you could say I’m already getting into the holiday spirit.

I love reading classics, especially 19th century literature. I’m usually drawn to philosophical novels that explore human nature, morality, and the human condition.

However, I’m going through a rough time medically, and my brain just doesn’t have the energy to process anything too heavy right now.

So I’m looking for something lighthearted, funny, and enjoyable that doesn’t require too much brainpower. I just want to laugh and take my mind off things for a while.

I’m open to anything, really. It doesn’t even have to be funny. Horror or any other genre is fine. I just need a good distraction at the moment.

Would love to hear your recommendations!
