So at the end of every year, when the Goodreads choice awards come around, I only vote in those categories (and sometimes just barely, given my lack of reading hyped books for each year). And I feel like I can only give good recommendations in those categories which is uh hilarious considering I pride myself on recommending good books*. *even though my success rate is the same as flipping a penny: 50/50. so what am … Continue reading my quest to overcome being a genre newbie ft. a loose tbr for the rest of the year
