#that's literally all i read growing up. and outside of rereading a handful of redwall books i haven't read any of those in FOREVER

[girlscience]

me for the past several years: I think something is wrong with me, I just don't like books the way I used to. I have maybe finished 3 books in 4 years and the last one I finished took me making an intentional effort to do nothing but read it one day to finish it :/

this book,

bursting into my life: NO IT IS THE BOOKS WHO ARE WRONG

#i started this and finished it in mmmm about 5 hours? #I will be buying the others as SOON as I get home #i thought maybe i had just grown out of the books i liked or something #but nah. it just took me reading this to realize i literally haven't been reading the sort of books i like in YEARS #rich fantasy worlds (specifically with dragons) have ALWAYS been the most important thing in the world to me #that's literally all i read growing up. and outside of rereading a handful of redwall books i haven't read any of those in FOREVER #all the most recent stuff I've tried to read has been sci-fi or weird psychological stories #or nonfiction/heavily political stuff #or one fantasy book with dragons but it was about a 12 year old and had a sort of dragon i don't super care for and didn't even as a kid #and then i wonder why i have so little interest in finishing them :/ #there isn't anything wrong with those books but they just aren't what i enjoy and i know that so why do i keep forcing myself to read them?? #perhaps i should stop that and thus get back a hobby that i used to be love in the extreme
