I don’t understand how people just read one genre, like bitch imma read about magic and dragons and then go over here and read about space and then mayhaps I will venture into the present timeline and read about someone in a city I recognize going through stuff I understand like The Social Media and then I will hop back over to the 18th century because I love me some corsets and relentless gossip from society bitches

from your friendly neighborhood librarian:

all books are good books.  you are not a “lesser reader” if you only read manga or comic books or a “better reader” for reading academic heavy texts.

reading is reading no matter what it is, be it a graphic novel, a romance, a classic, an audiobook, a picture book, a cookbook, fanfiction, fucking whatever, read what makes you happy

reading is supposed to be fun and don’t let elitism sap any joy out of it

I couldn’t help but notice that post on ‘where are all the Christian content creators’ (and your tags) so I just have to say: there’s a REALLY good fantasy series called the Tales of Goldstone Wood by Anne Elisabeth Stengl, and it’s CRIMINALLY underrated. I could go on for days about how well she writes, but I’ll keep it short and say that the ending of Golden Daughter is the only time I’ve ever cried over a book. Check it out sometime!
