April 4: Reading Relatability
Prompts: Real life can be a lot. Do you enjoy reading books with high relatability to your past or present situation (i.e. with relatable characters, situations they face, or places they visit) or do you read purely to escape reality? Do you seek out a certain type of read, depending on your head space or mood?

Do you enjoy reading books with high relatability to your past or present situation (i.e. with relatable characters, situations they face, or places they visit) or do you read purely to escape reality?
I used to love more realistic books but in the past few years I gravitate more towards fantasy to escape reality. But I still do like when a book is relatable because it gives me a connection to the characters so it could be in a fantasy setting and still slightly relatable.
There are some times now when I read realistic fiction where it can take me back to a past situation and kind of trigger me. Especially if it pertains to grief but also, I still like those books because I can say yeah…I’ve been in that position or felt those strong feelings and look at me now – I’ve survived a challenging time in my life!
Do you seek out a certain type of read, depending on your head space or mood?
I am definitely a mood reader and because I read a lot of fantasy or romantasy with world-building sometimes if I read too much of that type of book, it’s too much for my brain! I need a switch to something contemporary just as a palate cleanser.

April 11: Do You Buy Books with Intention? (Jillian @ The Bookish Butterfly)
