[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ADHD mom in perimenopause—the struggle is real!! I had to dumb down the books I used to read! I tend to pick up lighter chick lit now. They’re not poorly written, but they have very strong tropes that they follow. The characters are usually well developed and they are easy to read. It’s not refined literature, I’m not learning anything new, but I love escaping into their worlds and winding down before bed with a real book in my hand. [/quote] Suggestions?[/quote] NP find older mystery books that tend to be 100-160 pages. I don't know why modern books are 400-500 pages when everyone's attention spans are fried. Maybe book editors can't focus either. Agatha Christie and contemporary writers' books aren't that long. Steinbeck and Hemingway books often aren't that long.[/quote]
