I have to be careful when reading or watching some thrillers. Nightmares, especially, are an issue.
When I get into a reading slump, historical romance is my go-to. Strange, I'm sure. Because I read them, regardless, in addition to contemporary romance. I have a stack of memoirs, but I'll reach for the HR.
I agree with you about changing up what I am reading when in a slump, though true crime and horror end up taking up too much space in my head *nightmares* so I tend to avoid them. Another romance writer friend and I saw Lost City and I agree with your assessment. Great fun, over the top, but ultimately an enjoyable movie. Plus, it was my first theater trip since pre-covid days and with a friend I hadn't seen in months, so the perfect afternoon!
I want to see that movie.

I loved Lost City so much! It made me really happy in a way a movie hasn’t in a long time. It will be a rewatch for sure!
