I used to struggle to find reading pleasurable so I switched to genre fiction. I read a lot of unserious hehe-haha books now, I get to explore a really fun and new-to-me canon, and take perverse pleasure in telling boys that I find Isaac Asimov a bit boring.
This is one of the collections I am slowly working through!

fuck the haters; if it’s popular it’s probably because it’s entertaining and fun! i will never let a condescending man tell me to read some boring melancholy self-important white man instead! read the faerie smut! read the sexy dragon rider book! do not apologize for it!
side note on this is that i devoured fourth wing, the sequel, and ACOTAR in like a week. even when they are annoying, they’re way more fun than when i was trying to read fuckin Camus or DFW

I read plenty of books that make me feel more developed as a human being, and help extend my worldview and knowledge. I’ve decided however, that when I’m on tour I wanna read shitty fun books cause I don’t have a ton of bandwidth for anything too serious. So I’ve been reading “A Court of Thorns and Roses” series by Sarah J. Maas. Extremely entertaining stuff.

a lot like if ao3 had more of a focus on original works - started reading a 205-chapter scifi/urban fantasy/slice of life kinda deal on there and got sixty chapters in overnight, i literally couldn't put it down to sleep it was that good. i've never been super into scifi or heavy worldbuilding fantasy because they usually overwhelming you by infodumping about a million bits of lore all at once but this story? so well written, feeds you the information really well through the story, beautiful characterisation and character interactions, funny and horrifying and heartwarming and just.... ahhhh i'm just so glad i found it! i'm very excited to start checking out even more works on there now, it's independently what got me back into reading original works
