    Welcome to BookTube! I hope you enjoy the community here. I can definitely relate to being a mood reader and reading in phases. For years I read primarily historical fiction, but I got burned out. Then I was really into psychological thrillers. Last year I read a lot of romance. Now I'm wanting to get back into thrillers. 🤣But I do generally read a variety of genres, I just have my ever-changing focuses. I haven't read The book Thief yet, but it's one of my best friend's favorite books. It's on my TBR.

    Having the books sorted by colour makes a lot of sense. Someone would have to be close enough to read the titles to know they aren't arranged by name/author, but anyone in the room could glance over and see the satisfying colour sections

    I can't stand it when authors use virginity as a commodity. It only had value in the past because it was just another way to control women. It truly gives me the ick when I find it in a novel.

    HAVE to comment on the Obernewtyn series. Criminally slept on is an understatement and I love that you brought this one up! You encapsulated it so well. It is a damn brilliant series, so much better than others in the genre that are so popular. It can be drawn out and slow, but that’s because of how much it explores the inner depths of Elspeth’s experience.

    The best thing I do to help with reading slumps is aggressively try to avoid hitting one. Which sounds dumb as hell, but I've found if I'm churning back to back mega fantasy world building super complex books back to back my brain eventually gets tired and wants a break. So I try to alternate between challenging or heavy topic reads and smooth brain pure dopamine fun reads. The variety between kinds of reading making me excited to keep going regardless of how 'good' it is, I just want to keep having fun

    I have a lot of reasons why I personally dislike romance novels. Because I don’t relate to them, because the dynamics are often toxic, etc. But I think adult women should be able to read whatever they want. It’s pretty sexist that people go after women who like romance. My only issue is with younger girls reading stuff like this, because they internalize a lot of the unhealthy relationship dynamics in them. But I also have a problem with teenaged boys watching anime with problematic relationship dynamics in them that propagate misogyny. Or gaming channels that spew bigotry.

    Read The Road over a decade ago and still recall it and the feelings it gave me relatively clearly . It’s one of my favorite dystopians I’ve ever read, & I think was one of the ones that got me loving the genre. No spoilers, but wonder if you’ve heard a certain theory about the book - one that crossed my mind but apparently crossed more minds than mine . Blahdiggityblah 📚 🪱 💔🤍💙
