Booktube Changed My Reading Taste... For Better or Worse?

And I think one of my favorite things about my time on book is just that it has brought me to so many stories that I've fallen in love with that I genuinely don't believe I would have found or would not have found until much later had I not been part of this community. Things like Augustus by John Williams.

And I think that's more part of the reason why some of my favorite books in the fantasy genre that I've read in the last few years are The Longprice Quartet by Daniel Abraham, Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Merilier.

I love Red Rising, but I think that Red Rising continued to be a comfort read for me in those years because it was so easily engaged with. It was so action-packed. I cared so emotionally about the characters and it wasn't it didn't feel like work, if that makes sense.

And this time I found myself just being like, I need more. I don't I don't really care. I don't really This isn't enough for me anymore.
