Oh, this got delayed a bit.
I am still reading Valour’s Choice by Tanya Huff. Book 1 of Confederation series. Almost near the end though. Enjoying the book a lot.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening?

Good to know, thanks. Maybe we should check in in about 10 years when she gets more writing experience. Or maybe it's just not our cup of tea.
Yeah, there are some books that are highly recommended--even some that are personally recommended to me by a friend--that I end up not enjoying. I don't think that makes them bad books, just not the right book for me.
Exactly! Tastes differ. But that makes me vary of recommendations and I end up second guessing every 5 star review. Who knows how many good books I passed up 😅
I try not to pay a ton of attention to reviews for the reason, for books and movies. Sometimes I'll check afterward for something I enjoyed and find that it's not well reviewed. Maybe I have trash taste 😅
Lets say you have a refined taste 😉 sometimes what's most highly rated is boring stuff intended for the mass audience. For example, I stopped watching USA movies and very rarely see a USA series because I don't enjoy it at all. It has great reviews, but doesn't interest me, and that's ok. I'd say that people who like it have a bad taste, and they would say I have a bad taste. Lets just say we have different interests 😅
Haha yes, we can go with "refined!" Though these days I find myself reaching for books that are more fun than literary.
Why not? There's nothing wrong with fun. You don't have to exclusively read "high" literature. We've got to unwind sometimes, right?
Absolutely!
