fantasy books I want to read 🧚🏻🪄
my two biggest blind spots as far as genres go have always been YA and fantasy. Though I don’t naturally gravitate towards them i still like to keep an open mind and add them to my TBR when I come across them. This year I’m making more of a concerted effort to find books I like within these genres.
