I usually have a few anthologies with short stories for those times when I have no idea what book I want to read next.

I do break this rule on occasion. Power outage meant I got through two omnibuses (and multiple other books) in the span of three days. |

I've shifted more toward this pov too. I bought nearly 30 Christopher Bush mysteries from Kobo, and have generally been reading just one at a time with other authors and genres in between, but recently read three of his in a row. I won't be doing that again. A change of genre and voice is essential, I've come to realise

Yep. I'm a genre jumper too. There can be a monotony that comes from reading too many books of the same genre in a row, let alone books of the same series. One or two and then I'm ready for a shift in voice, tone, paradigm.

Since I track my reading history in Calibre, it's fun to sort by the 'last-read' date and then look for patterns in the different genres/topics.
