I came up with a total of 50 books for this, so instead of breaking it down for just 1 post i’ve decided to do a series of 5 posts for it! Because why not.

A YA Sci-Fi/Fantasy. F/F romance. Pirates. Morally Gray. I loved this duology! Though I read an e-arc of the sequel through Netgalley and don’t think i’ve actually read the finished copy. I NEED to reread this duology!

A Yuri Manga.

A dark hard-hitting realistic contemporary that had me sobbing!

A shonen manga! I read the first 12 volumes I believe and it’s been awhile. I need to reread and just binge the whole thing and then watch the anime!

Yup. Tentacle sex. Has 3 stories. One is F/F.

Learning is fun.

Frankenstein is my favorite book and i’m obsessed with learning all about it!

Horror as well as a character study. I love character-driven stories and character studies! Also terrifyingly realistic!

I am disabled. This is an anthology by and for disabled people! It has a mix of fiction, nonfiction, poetry and artwork. It has a variety of disabilities represented, both physical and neurodiversities. It has authors of color, queer, nonbinary and trans writers/artists. It is packed with awesome!

Surprised me because I originally hated Nesta. It has depth. It deals with mental health, depression and PTSD, which I have. An adult fantasy romance. So many feels!
So this is books that define my taste part 1! What are some books that define your taste? Have you read any of these?
