Sam-scribers! lol, I like this idea. I probably should read outside of fantasy too at some point. One of my goals last year was to read more middle-grade books as well as adult, as I mostly read young adult. And i did read quite a few in those categories. Maybe i should try different genres now. I was just gifted a mystery book for chistmas. :)
I think non-numerical goals are a great idea. Sometimes less is more; you make the book you read worthwhile. Not to mix fantasy and sci-fi into one genre but what do you think about Star Wars short stories/fanfiction?
I’m not too into reading fiction, but I absolutely love “Parable of The Sower” by Octavia E. Butler. It’s really good and I actually want to reread it. I think you’d like it if you like sci-fi or dystopian.
hey, sam! happy new year! well, i don't have any reading goals for this year so let's see what will happen then, huh? haha becky chambers, octavia e. butler (and n.k. jemisin!!!) are some of my favorite sff authors, i hope you enjoy reading their books!
Hey Marco!! Sounds exciting! We’ll see where this year takes you! N.K. Jemisin is also on the list if I have time for her- I have the broken earth trilogy on my shelf!
I like this approach a lot. I think changing up the genre might help with retention. I'm also an avid reader, and sometimes I look through the list of books I've read, and for the older ones, I can hardly remember most of it. I have decided to reread some books this year. I was always against this because like you, I had the feeling that my "to read" list is never ending. But I actually thinking rereading is underrated. What's your opinion on rereading?
I read the Monk & Robot duology per your recommendation and they are now among my all time favorites! I am also hoping to read the Wayfarers series this year so i’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts on them (:
I think being a content creator who focuses on books requires me to read a bit more than 5, but in general yea! Quality vs quantity is a balance I have to find- and they’re not always mutually exclusive!
oh my gosh i am so excited to see what you think of the wayfarers series!!
the spongebob insert took me out 😂
This channel is so underrated it’s insane !

I’ve never read any Star Wars material! Would you recommend?

I love rereading! I didn’t do it as much last year as I usually do, but I’d love to make time for it again this year. Thanks for watching!!

Hey Jenna! So glad those worked out for you!! Happy i could be the one to recommend them :)
I honestly feel I'd prefer reading 5 super-influential books rather than 50 so-so books. Do you agree? Great video!
