so! like the title says, what is your favorite genre for reading, and maybe what is a genre that you aren’t so crazy about?
for me, I love fantasy, especially urban fantasy. it’s tricky for me to find stuff I hit it off with all the way for that unfortunately, because I’m usually not interested in the romantic aspect being pushed so hard. but I love how authors will approach supernatural species and magic systems. plus, of course, I like to see character development.
I have been looking in YA because it’s been a long time since I’ve seriously tried to read (since I was in high school, actually) and I’m really excited about trying a book called Legendborn. it looks amazing, and I’ve been told the magic system is excellent. admittedly, I haven’t had the best luck with adult fiction just because, again, I don’t enjoy most of the ways romance is written.
I don’t really vibe with things like historical books, just because I don’t consider myself great at history. I do enjoy learning things, but the ones that don’t explain much leave me feeling lost. I also have that kind of issue with hard sci-fi, because even with explanations, that one can leave me feeling like I’m not understanding.
I used to not gravitate towards history as well but the more I read the more I see parallels between histories.
Its always interesting to see that again and again, people just forget what happened before, and repeat the same mistakes. Its tragic but at the same time it makes you see the bravery and resilience of parts of the population, and it is always important for us to do what we can within our power. Be kind to each other, do good things, and never give up.
