Let's Talk Bookish; Literary Palate Cleansers

It's Friday, which means it's time for a new Let's Talk Bookish post courtesy of Book Nook Bits and Dinipanda Reads, and today's topic is literary palate cleansers.

Here's the further prompts for today's discussion.

Do you ever feel like you need a reading reset? Maybe you’ve been reading dense literary fiction, or are in a reading slump. Are there certain books you read to help reset? Do you ever take a break from reading? Do you find yourself needing those literary palate cleansers at certain times of year?

It has happened multiple times that I've need a reading reset of sorts, whether it's because I've read "too many" books in a row of a specific genre, or due to a reading slump. This is especially true if I've read books that contains a heavy topic, or too many horror novels. I can't really say I need those literary palate cleanser at certain times of the year, as it comes and goes when I need them.

That I often do, is finding a short and light read, just to change things up a bit, or if I'm having a reading slump, basically step away from reading for a while until my reading spark return.
