My favorite romances definitely have happy people having affairs.
I have no shame for enjoying the entire Rick Riordan Olympian / Norse / Roman series. But I did have "reading to kid before bed" as an excuse.
I started the series as a teenager and I'm not going to stop just because I'm older now.
That said I was also reading my parent's books when I was younger too. I grew up on Dan Brown and Clive Cussler just as much as I grew up on Rick Riordan and Anthony Horowitz. I feel like my taste in books has only devolved as I've gotten older if anything.
What about historical nonfiction?
Eulaliaaaaaaa!!! I'll defend my Redwall books to the hilt.
For me the books became nourishment of the brain of sorts but once they were just fantasy entertainment and escapism. Maybe I am getting older or I am just getting my entertainment from different sources nowadays
I always consumed those cheap fantasy novels in droves but now I am looking for different experiences of being human and generally something that provokes thought.
Children's books are great for getting an overview of a new subject.
Gatekeeping books is a great sign that someone didn’t read anything but the Wikipedia synopsis just to sound smart on the internet.
