Within the past year I got heavily back into reading and fell in love with it all over again like when I was younger. I started a good reads & bookstagram and have soo much fun expressing myself through my reviews.
I would love to talk about books with others! I read YA/Adult/Wattpad Fanfics within the fantasy, romance, or a mixture of the genres. I love recommendations all the time so please post any of them

I'm afraid I'm not much into genres in the first post, but reading for 30-40 minutes before going to sleep really did wonders for my sleeping routine and quality.
This year I mostly reread classics from various countries.

I read so much more now that I'm in college. I used to read so much more when I was small. It was escape. It's hard to make myself read now that I have to for a grade. Q_Q

Lately I've been reading for nostalgia reasons as well as the usual mood-control (you know, read a happy book when you're sad, read an empowering book before starting a big project, read a prosy book when you need to fall asleep earlier than your usual schedule, etc).
It's been an eye-opener to revisit some of my old favorites. I didn't realize how much my perspective had shifted until being confronted with old familiar scenes brought such different emotions out.
Some of it's obvious; used to identify with teen characters and look up to them, now they seem naive and young. Some of it's not obvious; used to sympathise with one side of a dispute and now I find that speaker arrogant and blind to wider implications, and sympathise with the other side of the dispute instead.
It happened so gradually while I was living it, that rereading old favorites like this is a shock to see how much I've changed.
Anyone else had this experience? Or just me?
