💜 and 🖤 for the last genre or subgenre you discovered you liked? Thank you!
I recommend reading the His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman
I read this one quite a while ago and I remember being super engrossed in the world in which it is set in! I loved the story and the way it's written
So this book is set in a world not so different from ours, except that every person has a dæmon connected to them. A dæmon is an animal like creature that has the same lifeline as their human. Dæmons are equally part of a person's being as their own body and can communicate with them and others. As they are one being, both of them cannot stray too far from the other or their connection will be severed and they will die.
Now for the story: the protagonist is a relatively young girl who's name is Lyra. She is an orphan and stayed in her uncle's institute and was mostly left wild and to her own devices. After overhearing a conversation with some important people about something called Dust, she became interested in the experiments and discoveries related to it. This becomes more significant later on in the series but this is all I'm saying for now. Then, children from her city start disappearing and among them, her best friend. After vowing to find her friend, she gets involved in a bigger scheme and so the story progresses.
After the initial book, the story actually switches between worlds, that is, our world, lyra's world, as well as several others. It's really interesting and I was actually thinking of doing a re-read of the whole series to refresh my memory!

Q: The last genre or subgenre I discovered I liked
This is a terribly difficult question to answer, because the things I read are so very diverse. I've always read all sorts of genres, from crime or thrillers to hard-core fantasies. I love most genres of books I think but maybe the ones I've started loving more recently are dark fantasies and period fiction. As I said, I've already read and loved a lot of both but I think I've been partial to these two genres recently!
Books with Tea Tee! Come talk to me about books :D
