I think it was a good thing, for me, that I separated myself from booktok/booktwitter/other similar communities in social media sites focused on the latest book releases. While my reading speed remains slow, I've also been reading more books I wouldn't have even considered before.
Because of an increase in taxes and the lack of availability of new books in their original language, I've been scouting used book libraries getting old, yet well-loved books for really, really cheap. This is how I got my hands on a Dead by Dusk copy, which I've been enjoying quite a lot. Certainly more than I expected. There are lost of stories by diverse authors that I'd love to read next year, but right now I'd also like to focus on what's available locally.
The lack of stress related to not being able to keep up with trends, that pesky FOMO that oozes from most feeds, wasn't doing me any good either. So yeah, I'm happy, and I'd like to think that's what truly matters.
(still, i'd die happy if i could get my hands on a gideon the ninth copy)
