books that define me as a reader

1/30 Edited to

... Read moreOver the years, I've realized how certain books have a lasting impact on our reading habits and personal growth. For me, titles like 'Where the Crawdads Sing' by Delia Owens and 'The Wedding Year' by Kristin Hardy have not only entertained me but also expanded my emotional understanding and appreciation for storytelling. Books such as 'Where the Crawdads Sing' combine a compelling mystery with a rich exploration of nature and solitude, which deepened my love for character-driven narratives. On the other hand, contemporary romances and stories like 'The Wedding Year' offered a lighter, relatable insight into modern relationships that feel authentic. Exploring diverse genres and authors like Amity Gaige and Carter Wilson introduced me to new writing styles and perspectives, enriching my reading palette. Each book on my list represents a chapter of my life, reflecting my evolving interests and the different moods I find myself in as a reader. I believe creating your own list of defining reads can be a wonderful way to understand your unique reading journey and discover what truly resonates with you. Sharing these stories also connects us, showing how books shape who we are.

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.
