10. do you have a guilty fav?

i haven't read these in a long time, admittedly (the reading slump has been wild the last number of years) but i've always enjoyed a solid adult paranormal romance. like, you know the mass market paperbacks you pick up at a used bookstore with a schlocky cover of a badly photoshopped wolf. think nalini singh's psy/changeling series. i always had a great time reading those

19. most disliked popular books?

11. what non-fiction books do you like if any?

in the grand scheme of things, i don't read that much non-fiction, but when i do it's usually historical non-fiction related to my previous field of study (ancient history) or just memoirs, which i've honestly been reading a fair bit more the last few years

15. recommend and review a book.

okay, i've read two standout books this year (scholomance series notwithstanding--I've said plenty about that already, i am a known Enjoyer of that series), one was my first read of the year, The Corruption of Hollis Brown by K. Ancrum and it was stellar. it's a very original YA love story about a teenage boy from a small, rural community who gets possessed by a ghost and then they fall in love via possession. like, i'm not personally into the hal/bolaire dynamic as a romance, but if you are, i really think you'd love this book. it was wonderfully executed, and honestly one of the most touching romances i've read in a long time. still my favorite book i've read this year
