What a nice bunch! I can't wait to read "The God of the Woods" and want to check "Annie Bot" and "So Thirsty" too. You always choose such an interesting reads. I've had a 3 stars September, the books were interesting to talk about, but less enjoyable, than I hoped for. "28 summers" by Elin Hildebrand was the one I've read the longest and while it felt engaging to continue, characters were really annoying and the subject of constant cheating wasn't handled like it's something bad. Have better hopes for the rest of October, because so far I've had a 3 and 4 stars read and I really want to love a book I read next. I missed that 5 star feeling.

I liked Annie Bot too. I literally wanted to jump into the story and slap Doug around for his abuse and idiocracy 😡. I rated it 3.75. I enjoyed the first 2/3 more than the final third because I felt like the story lost some of its momentum and didn’t have the climactic ending I was hoping for. I’m reading The House in the Cerulean Sea next month with my book club and I’m so excited!

He’s so frustrating 😡 I do agree that the last 1/3rd of the book is not as strong and I do think it took a little too long to get to its final destination. Oh yay! I hope you love it!!!

Being in a reading slump is so painful, I feel you!! Fantasy is and always will be my most read genre, but I've loved stepping outside my comfort zone. Recently got addicted to Emily Henry's books and never thought that genre would ever work for me lol I think being a book content creator makes reading a little more stressful than the usual reader, so be gentle to yourself!! People will stick around to watch regardless :)

Oh, the boxes we put ourselves in and our extra nervous minds are quite a combo. I totally get what you say. In my case I'm a reader of many genres, but it's a stressful thing sometimes and oh do I get overwhelmed with options. Totally makes sense to choose one genre, but yeah, after some time you totally can get stuck in it. I also had a shame to read some books, because people around me judged my choices sometimes, that's why I more often talk about my reading in Booktube comments and not in real life still, even now, after many years, and even while don't giving a damn in most cases anymore. Also I have a fear of big books and series, because I'm easily distracted. Audiobooks help with that, because I often listen on x1,75 speed. So yeah, hugging you from here. I wish for you to get from this box in your own pace. From books you've mentioned I've read "Homegoing" and really liked it. I'd love to read some of these together with you or simply in one month, maybe that will help. Because me myself just recently crawled out of big reading slump. Started my year like a mad woman, with so many books, but then life and mental health got in a way, so reading wasn't bringing me joy at all. Currently try to make my way through little End of Summer Tbr I put for myself, and Beach read is in it. I'm not pressuring myself though, because I've recently read The Guest List by Lucy Foley with mom and that book messed my summer reading mood, because now I want to be a detective all of a sudden and read books where I'll have to guess who's the murderer 🤣🤣. Autumn gets a prize. Please, just know also, that your reading taste is yours and no adequate person would judge you here when you review nonfiction or thriller or full-on spicy romance. We should bring the joy of reading back. I hope you'll read the book you want, outside of SFF next. Happy reading!

Girl, read what you want to read. I understand there’s pressure to fit within a niche but what’s the point of that if it’s not making you happy. I’m a big fantasy reader but I can only take so much of it so I read a lot of different genres as palette cleansers. There are so many good books out there and you are doing yourself a disservice as a reader if you are limiting yourself by genre. I’ll keep watching no matter what you read. Best of luck!!
