What a fun ride! And sharing it with you has been a delight!! 92 books, many of them huge, over 2 years is a lot. And there's little better than still enjoying the genre with more in the future 🙂. I am learning that I enjoy stories with fantastical creatures (dragons and were things, etc) and magic more than those about territorial/political battles in imaginary worlds. But likable, fun characters can often overcome those tedious subjects. Have you a favorite sub-genre? Or are you just loving them all?
True, I feel truly blessed with this abundancy of promising books at my disposal. Sub-genres are difficult for me to pinpoint at this moment. Like you I am not a huge fan of battles and wars, but in books that have lots of that there can also be a beautiful spiritual background, or captivating character development. Those are two of my most loved subjects. A religious system that invokes wisdom or a fresh view on life and characters that grow throughout the story. I love the 'coming of age'-trope, the 'chosen-one' trope and such. Also I am very sensitive to good prose. I find that I am not thinking in sub-genres, because each book has pro's and cons regardless of the genre. Just finished The Arc of a Scythe (Neal Shusterman) which is YA at its best. Mike (MikesBookReviews) hated the third book The Toll, which I gave 94 points out 100. I don't understand his beef against this book.
