✨BOOK HAUL✨
A small(ish) non fic haul from the last few weeks! I didn’t think I’d ever say this but I’m really enjoying my non fic quest so far. It’s giving “researching for school project” vibes and I’m so here for it!

When you boil it down I literally get paid to read books and talk to people about books which seems actually bloody wild. If 10 year old me could see me now she would be so damn proud

Another thing that really winds me up is people who take issue with 10 year age gaps in romance books but have absolutely no issue with the 18 year old girl dating the 800 year old fae. Dude, come on.

Say it louder for the people in the back
Thinkpieces on "Where have all the non-romance fantasy gone?" are deeply funny to me. My bro, walk into a bookstore? Look up Tor, Orbit, Voyager, etc's upcoming lists of titles? Do a 2 second google search?
Fantasy without romance and sex has always been here and will continue to be. Chill.
