5. Which genre(s) don’t you read? Why not?

the only genre i am sure i will 100% NEVER touch no matter what happens is horror, but that's entirely on me because i get scared and anxious easily and i have a very hard time shaking off these feelings once they start to develop in my mind. i usually love to read before bed-time and - as i have already discovered when i was a kid - the wrong book at the wrong time can literally keep me awake for the whole night. apart from horror another genre i try to avoid as much as possible is young adult: i just don't like it, i didn't like it when i was a teen and i don't like it now that i consider myself too old (21) to be part of the audience these books are written for. i must however say that while i had the pleasure to read some nice ya books most of them are just littered with the same stereotypical tropes used to sell more, don't have compelling characters and fall into the narrative of "look, as the author i am putting x and y in my books as a representation!! look how good i am!!" where said representation is just lackluster, bland or straight-up bad.

24. The book that you got into because of the movie/TV series/etc, and the relative merits of each version

one of the few that comes to my mind now is the book thief by markus zusak, i saw the movie and i loved it so much that my grandma decided to buy me the book as a birthday gift. now, i am notoriously known as someone who has a serious case of lack of taste when it comes to judging movies BUT i really enjoyed it when i first saw it. when it comes to both the book and the movie i feel like that mixing the life of a child, inevitably based on light-heartedness in front of a cruel world, and that historical time period is a bold concept and yet a difficult task. my only critique to the movie, that i re-watched recently, is that it tries to portray a more "optimistic family" drama while the novel attempts to deal with harsher and darker themes and that's why i appreciated even more and i felt like i was getting to know the characters better when i first read it.
