I would think classics would be the goal if your looking to evolve as a read, but if you're reading just for fun and you like YA that's fine too πŸ€” Not everything has to be a competition πŸ˜‡

Beat it with a stick you say? I guess I'll have to get myself a stick... πŸ˜œπŸ˜‚

I don't know, I still think I prefer the little work that reads like their life depends on it, over the hoarding wyrm of consumerism πŸ€”πŸ˜

I just discovered the term "bookdragon” and I have never felt more seen in my life. Unlike a bookworm, who reads like their little life depends on it, a bookdragon hoards books like treasure. I used to hink I was a bookworm, but now I know that I was very, very wrong. Mindblowing.
