4 and 9 <3
hiii, thanks! 🖤
4. Did you discover any new authors that you love this year?
answered here, but the short answer is yes!
9. Did you get into any new genres?
also yes! i think i've talked about it before, but i was reading 1-2 books a week for all four years of my undergrad, got super burnt out, and then had an unplanned reading hiatus after graduating. only in the last two-ish years have i really gotten back into reading (hence being so late to tfota :') and i feel like i'm simultaneously playing catch up with books i missed out on in that time + learning what i like to read now that i'm adult. as a teen i almost exclusively read ya fiction and fantasy, which is fine, but it's been fun to expand + grow beyond that
this year, i tried to read more creative nonfiction (cnf is.... my job, so it's hard to disassociate reading it from work, but i'm getting there). i specifically got really into ecological writing, which has added a lot of exciting titles to my tbr! i've also been trying out more adult fantasy and fiction, which i've really enjoyed. short story collections, autobiographies (hit and miss for me), lit fic, romance (i read my first emily henry!), historical cnf, and horror all get honorable mentions here, too.
all in all, a very exploratory reading year!
