I mean, this edition of #AForgeryOfFate that I'm reading currently is pretty damn incredible.

The illustration is by one of my favorite book cover artists Tran Nguyen and the blue and gold theme is stunning.

I have great fondness for the Japanese covers of the Captive Prince Series by C.S. Pacat. I have to tell myself frequently that I already own them in the original language and don't need to re buy them lmao

Untamed by Glennon Doyle. Especially if you grew up in any sort of Purity Culture/“good girl” culture, or if you remember how cool you were as a kid & can’t remember how you let that person slip away.

"Fruit of Knowledge: The Vulva vs. the Patriarchy"
is a graphic novel full of historical and biological facts.

While I didn't enjoy the art style very much, I still read it and learnt so much. Like I learnt stuff about my own body that sexEd in School clearly missed.

Since I finally read it just the other week and keep thinking about it, I'll have to go with "The Color Purple" by Alice Walker.

It's tough to narrow it down to just 3. Let's see...

Historical romance
Fantasy romance
Gothic romance

I'm sensing a pattern lol.

- Whodunit mysteries, when they are cleverly written

Usually third person past like most books, for ease of reading, although one of my favourite books, the Night Circus, likes messing with perspective and tense.

I also like gamebooks which are usually written as though you are the one currently performing the action.

i prefer third POV, but if it's in first, i prefer multiple POVs.

Do you have a preferred pov and tense while reading (i.e. first person past, third person present, etc.)?

I like third person and past tense. I can still adapt fairly okay with first person but it takes me way more to get used to the present tense...

#BookishQOTD Genuinely don't like first person very much (which is hilarious cuz I'm a romance and fantasy girlie...)
Third person past with an omnipresent narrator that bounces between characters is my jam, and is basically how I write. I like to be close to the characters but also see the world.

Yes! Third person. And probably past tense.

I won't DNF a book for first person, but I don't love it. I find that the POV character tells you too plainly what they feel and think at any given moment. And there's often no consistency in what they can reasonably know.
