Hi. My name is Jen, and I have suffered from genre burn out.
I've been known to go on one genre kick after another. I would consume as many cozy mysteries, fiction books, historical fiction adventures, and gripping bios until I couldn't focus anymore. I learned the hard way that I was on genre burn out.
Now, I try to not to overdo it when I go on a reading streak. I try not to read so many books in one genre that I burn out of it.
Has this ever happened to you? What do you do when it does?

I used to read romance but I always found myself wanting more. I am a big ole scaredy cat so I shocked EVERYONE when I started reading mysteries! Of course, I only read cozy mysteries but now I can not get enough of them. I do not see myself changing but hey, stranger things have happened! LOL!
I'm a HUGE fan of cozy mysteries!! I love them! Glad to find another fan!! I spent my summer reading them last year, and will probably spend most of this coming summer reading them, too. I don't want to burn out of them, so I tend to read different ones if I'm working my way through a series. Thanks for commenting!
I have lately found myself not enjoying the romances so much and preferring Sci Fi, Fantasy and mysteries. Then again, contemporary romance has never been my fav although I loved historical romance until they got overly sexual with less plot. So- maybe I need to pay attention to these feelings and read less romance for review! LOL
