I tend to gravitate towards books with heavy themes...but I think I may have taken on a little too much this time. I've started reading When Broken Glass Floats by Chanrithy Him, but at 100 pages in there's been so many deaths and I'm scared to continue.

What's your most recent book you had to put down for a while to give yourself space from the tragedy or trauma? Which book did you turn to instead?
