Wait...is a Kraken a octupus or a calamar? Because I always thought it was more of a calamar, but I just looked it up and it looks more like an octopus...and now I'm really confused....

on a side note, this book makes me want to eat calamar AND octopus. If you've never tried it, let me tell you, it. is. DELICIOUS!!! Best recipes are Lulas recheadas and Polvo à Lagareiro. I don't know how to say it in English so you're getting the portuguese version lmao

EDIT: I think you can say 'squid' instead of 'calamar'. I just translated it from the French 'calmars'...oups

It occurred to me, everyone has a reason for reading their favourite genre. So what's your why?

For me, romance has such an important place in my life. It's an escape, it's about happiness and it allowed me to gain a lot of comfort with the idea of romance, closeness and intimacy (both emotionally or otherwise). When I started out, I was gaining a sense of myself as an adult, and exploring romance really helped me come into my own as an independent adult by learning through these stories. I kind of just picked it up on my own, so it was one of the first things I learnt I loved on my own without my friends or my family, even though I eventually found friends through books. It also allowed me to determine what type of things I like and don't like, what traits I find attractive in others and in myself.

It also allowed me to find a community that allows me to feel like myself.

So that's my why for my genre. What's yours?
