    Hearing you talk about Bright Young Women has definitely bumped it up on my list! Can’t wait to hear about your nonfiction reads as well :-) my end of year plans are just finish all the books I’m in the middle of 😬 so many

    I really appreciated hearing your thoughts on Kafka on the Shore. I buddy read it too! Love Murderbot and the Monk & Robot series. For Monk and Robot, I think I loved the second book just a tad more than the first. What a great reading month!

    Love your vlogs but also love your sit down chatty videos! Okay everyone loves Divine Rivals but I’m not sure if I enjoy YA as much as most people. Would you say it’s super YA-y? Binti sounds interesting! Such a great reading month. 💖

      Thank you for watching, Subha! I personally don't think Divine Rivals gives off major YA vibes. It would probably be better classified as new adult since the main characters are 18-19 years old. I'm not a huge YA reader myself, but still enjoyed this one, so might be worth a shot!

    The character in my novel talks to a horse who looks like a unicorn because of a cybernetic implant that gives the horse the ability to communicate through telepathy.

    Yea, I don't like smut either. I prefer those scenes to be hidden behind the prose. What's the biggest pet peeve about how men write women?

    • @mansparekh

      I actually sometimes enjoy smut haha! Depends on how it's written. I was mostly trying to distinguish the sexual fantasies that Murakami writes from the smut we see in a lot of popular literature

      @@mansparekh People say that many sci-fi authors live out their fantasies in their writing. I think that can be true. I like to write those scenes behind flowery allegory where a sentence can be interpreted in two ways, one way to the plot and the other to the juicy details.
