I don’t. If it’s challenging (emotionally) I drop it. My mental health is already hanging by the thread, I won’t jeopardise it in anyway. I stopped reading A Little Life and the Days of Abandonment because of this.

Thankfully I haven't felt the need to put down a book due to this, but I have had to leave the room while my wife watched tv before. It was a show based on a book, so I imagine if I had any interest in that book I would've shelved it.

I do this too. I’ve not read any of my murdery books in over 2 years. My husband bought me Anatomy of a scandal at a car boot sale cos he thought I’d like it but I had to turn off the tv series after one episode because it was triggering. If it’s not good for my mental health I won’t read it.
