Girl, read what you want to read. I understand there’s pressure to fit within a niche but what’s the point of that if it’s not making you happy. I’m a big fantasy reader but I can only take so much of it so I read a lot of different genres as palette cleansers. There are so many good books out there and you are doing yourself a disservice as a reader if you are limiting yourself by genre. I’ll keep watching no matter what you read. Best of luck!!
Oh, the boxes we put ourselves in and our extra nervous minds are quite a combo. I totally get what you say. In my case I'm a reader of many genres, but it's a stressful thing sometimes and oh do I get overwhelmed with options. Totally makes sense to choose one genre, but yeah, after some time you totally can get stuck in it. I also had a shame to read some books, because people around me judged my choices sometimes, that's why I more often talk about my reading in Booktube comments and not in real life still, even now, after many years, and even while don't giving a damn in most cases anymore. Also I have a fear of big books and series, because I'm easily distracted. Audiobooks help with that, because I often listen on x1,75 speed. So yeah, hugging you from here. I wish for you to get from this box in your own pace. From books you've mentioned I've read "Homegoing" and really liked it. I'd love to read some of these together with you or simply in one month, maybe that will help. Because me myself just recently crawled out of big reading slump. Started my year like a mad woman, with so many books, but then life and mental health got in a way, so reading wasn't bringing me joy at all. Currently try to make my way through little End of Summer Tbr I put for myself, and Beach read is in it. I'm not pressuring myself though, because I've recently read The Guest List by Lucy Foley with mom and that book messed my summer reading mood, because now I want to be a detective all of a sudden and read books where I'll have to guess who's the murderer 🤣🤣. Autumn gets a prize. Please, just know also, that your reading taste is yours and no adequate person would judge you here when you review nonfiction or thriller or full-on spicy romance. We should bring the joy of reading back. I hope you'll read the book you want, outside of SFF next. Happy reading!
Personally, I watch your videos because I love your personality and unique perspective. No matter what genres you read, I'll watch. Also, PLEASE read I'm Glad My Mom Died. The audiobook is narrated by Jennette McCurdy herself and it's so worth it. It's also only 6 hours, which was honestly too short for me. I wanted more immediately. She's an auto-buy author for me now. Anyway, all that to say, you're my favorite booktuber and I'll be here regardless of what you're reading and posting. You're awesome!
Of course!!! Honestly, it's so refreshing to hear you talk about wanting to branch out. I get burnt out on just fantasy, even though it's my favorite genre. Some of my best reads from this year have been the genres outside of my comfort zone. I'm so excited for this change from you! Like I said, you're just my favorite so I'll watch anything 😊 thanks for all of the work you put into videos for us!!
Being in a reading slump is so painful, I feel you!! Fantasy is and always will be my most read genre, but I've loved stepping outside my comfort zone. Recently got addicted to Emily Henry's books and never thought that genre would ever work for me lol I think being a book content creator makes reading a little more stressful than the usual reader, so be gentle to yourself!! People will stick around to watch regardless :)
Hi! I just found your channel this week and have enjoyed the handful of your videos that I have made my way through. For what it's worth, I fully support your branching out and reading more. Variety keeps things fresh and fun! I am looking forward to seeing what you find!
Read what you enjoy! I watch your channel for you and your personality. I dont care what you read and review! I read from many genres. The books that you have listed are great! Also add Abby Jiminiez to your list. Part of Your World was absolutely amazing!
I think it's normal for there to be periods of time in life when we just don't want to read? But I can also relate to only reading one genre putting me in a reading slump (it was also fantasy for me). Good luck (re)discovering your tastes! Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers was a mystery I really enjoyed recently 😊
Oh for sure! It’s totally ok to take a break from reading and I definitely have. I think the big difference here for me is that I DID want to be reading, I just wanted to read outside of fantasy and I wasn’t letting myself 🤦♀️ What a great title! I’ll look into it, thanks!
Aubrey thank you for being so honest about how sometimes as readers we don't allow ourselves to read some genres, I think it is something all of us do. So I really relate to what you have talked about!! I am excited for this new and more varied era of your channel😍 I would recommend anything by Taylor Jenkins Reid, besides Evelyn Hugo that you already mentioned, my favourite one is Daisy Jones and the six, it's amazing!! Love your channel and your reviews♥️
Thank you for letting me know I’m not alone 🥲🥰 I’ve heard great things about Daisy Jones and the Six too! I’ll add it to the list 👍 Thank you so much ❤️ thanks for watching!
You said it yourself but I will repet it: stupid thinking ;) I can imagine that reading everything can be overwhelming as there are soooo maaany new releases etc. (hello me and my reading slump 2 years ago) but you're missing so many great book! I'm so esxcited that you will add other genres to your wrap ups. Good luck! :) When you were reading your list I was like: oh, this one is good, and this one, bascially I would recommend almost everything from the list but my personal favourites are 7 husbands of evelyn hugo and lessons in chemistry.
All the books you mentioned are great (I’ve read most of them). Girl, follow your reading mood and go for it!

I know, it’s so dumb 🤦♀️
Thank you so much for the continued support ❤️❤️❤️
Gothic (neovictorian) and historical mysteries are pretty cool, these are my favourite.
Oh, the boxes we put ourselves in and our extra nervous minds are quite a combo.
I totally get what you say.
