Book Blogger Hop: Struggling with New Reads

Welcome to the Book Blogger Hop!

This Week's Prompt:

Do you struggle to start a new read after finishing a truly amazing one?

╍Submitted by Elizabeth, Silver's Reviews

My Answer:

Absolutely! I often find myself reflecting on a book that left a lasting impression on me, especially when it's exceptionally well-written, and the story continues to linger in my mind as I move on to a new read. It's a bit of a double-edged sword, really. I know that comparing the two can cloud my judgment, and it feels unfair to let the brilliance of one author overshadow another's work. Yet, it’s nearly impossible not to make those comparisons, as I weigh the unique styles and narrative techniques against each other. However, I try to keep those thoughts from influencing my final rating of the new book.
