Just some thought rambling.

I've realized today that I'm losing my usual reading preferences and now I don't know what genres I like anymore.

I used to be heavily Dystopian and Fantasy. But when life started to become a literal Dystopian novel, those books began to depress me because it's so close to reality.

And so I went to Fantasy. In 2024 I began to experience genre fatigue, and noticed the books became very similar to one another. And been really struggling to find a 5/5 Romantasy and even DNF'ing most I pick up that I'd originally be tearing through. So I moved to Dark Romance and this genre I love. I'm more on the tamer end of this spectrum, preferring Diet Dark or Dark Rom Com.

And lately I'm loving Sports Romance, I usually hate these because I don't like sport irl. I'm loving contemporary too, usually contemporary bores me.

And now it's got to a point where books are very much like my music taste, a bit of everything as long as it's good. Aside from Classics or Non-Fiction I personally find those boring.

I don't know what to say when people ask me what books I like to read anymore...

This is a weird shift

I know a lot of people will say JKR, Colleen Hoover or other very big problematic authors for obvious reasons, but if there're any more niche ones or weird reasons why you can't or refuse to read them, tell me.

Mine would be Mia Ballard bc whether the allegations that she is assisted with A.I are true or false, I saw the counter of how many times the word 'sharp' was in Shy Girl and....I cannot handle that.

I loved doing this last week, and after having a post yesterday allowing us to complain (no matter how big or small) I wanted to flip the switch. TELL ME SOMETHING GOOODDDDDD🎶✨💭

✨Safe space✨ what’s something you just need to complain about (no matter how big or small). Sometimes you just gotta LET. IT. OUT.

I was just thinking about some books that i didn't get to finished reading, especially series back when I was 15 or 17 yrs old Some of these series were left off in middle of it or just read one out of the number of the series that was published. Not because they weren't good but because things happened and life got in the way. Whether they were series read back in middle/high school in whatever year, was there any series that you read back then, but didn’t finish reading them? If so what were they? what do you remember enjoying reading them? and if you’ll ever reread them again?

Here’s some that I didn’t get to finished but would like to get back to them.

• The Shadow Children Series by Margaret Peterson Haddix
• Cirque du FREAK series by Darren Shan
• House of Night Series by P.C. Cast and Kristen Cast (currently rereading them)
• Hush Hush Series by Becca Fitzpatrick
• The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel series by Michael Scott
• Beautiful Creatures saga by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl

I think that’s all of them, anyways these series were good and some I was close to being finished but again, life got in the way. But I remember them fondly and many of them helped me get through the though times back then. So I hope to get to read them again and see how many of them I remember. If I’ll see them any differently from when I first read them. ☺️🥰

I know a lot ( but not everyone ) of people are excited for the new ACOTAR books, but I am wondering if anyone has any niche/not as popular book releases ?

Mine are: unbound and undone by Peyton Corrine. Plus , champagne problems by Hannah grace , Devour me by Emily Rath and Embrace by Bal Khabra

As you can see , i might have a taste in books .

But I am wondering, dear reader ( if you know the references good job )what books of any genre are you looking for too?

Like the title suggests, I just wanted to write a silly little post about the latest update on my Kindle Paperwhite 😂

Up until now, I've been reading ebooks in MOBI format, because I thought that was the only format that worked properly on the Kindle. With this format, I could check the number of pages in the book, the position on the book and whatnot.

Now a couple of days ago, an automatic update took place, and now the Kindle doesn't work with the MOBI format anymore, I can't check the page number 😭😭😭

I'm a little annoyed and even sad, because most of my ebooks are in a format that doesn't work anymore, after all the effort I made to organise everything in shelves 🤣 😭

What are some audiobooks that you DNF'd because something about it was strange or weird that pulled you out of the story?

I was thinking of this last night because I was listening to Brimstone by Callie Hart and noticed that the male narrator was significantly louder than the female narrator. It was extremely jarring and difficult to listen to in my opinion.

Another one Role Model by Rachel Reid, I didn't DNF this one but every time the narrator did a female voice I couldn't not hear Mrs Doubtfire and it really was difficult to push through. I've also heard the Game Changer audiobook Kip sounds like a 60 year old mob boss so that's a weird choice hahaha

And maybe Fourth Wing where they had to re-record it and republish because it was quite clear the narrator had a cold during recording and everybody was too grossed out to listen to it 😂

Okay y'all, F**k, Marry, Kill - the last three books you read, GO👁️👁️

I saw some posts on here about good vs bad books adaptations, and it got me thinking about books that probably shouldn't or can't be adapted and why.

I know before the recent Dune movie releases people were saying that it would be too difficult to make a good adaption of the book due to the scale, need for special effects, etc. (Yet, the movies turned out really really good imo.) I just finished Coldwire and that's another one that I don't think can be adapted in a way that would work well- iykyk.

What are some books that you think shouldn't or can't be adapted into a tv show or movie?
