The Long Wait for Fantasy Reads

You know that feeling when you're really craving a specific genre? For me, that's fantasy. I'm yearning for sprawling worlds, complex magic systems, and epic quests. There's nothing quite like getting lost in a good fantasy book.

The problem? The fantasy books I want to read are... lengthy. We're talking doorstopper territory. And as much as I want to dive headfirst into these immersive stories, I also have this nagging feeling that I need to catch up on my reading list first.

It's a bit of a dilemma. Do I give in to my cravings and start that massive tome, knowing it'll take me weeks (or even months) to finish? Or do I stick to my plan, read some shorter books, and then reward myself with the epic fantasy adventure?

Currently, I'm leaning towards the latter. I think tackling some shorter reads first will give me a sense of accomplishment and help me get back on track with my reading goals. Plus, it'll make the eventual dive into a long fantasy book feel even more satisfying.

So, for now, my beloved fantasy novels will have to wait. But don't worry, my pretties, I'll get to you soon enough. And when I do, I plan to savor every single page.

What about you? Do you ever delay reading a book you're excited about to catch up on other reads?
