Blue books & no genre loyalty 💅🏾📖

Listen… the color blue might be my shelf aesthetic, but when it comes to genres?
I do not have a type.

One minute I’m deep in Black fantasy magic, next I’m drowning in historical fiction, then BOOM — contemporary heartbreak got me staring at the wall questioning life 😮‍💨

If it’s good, I’m reading it.
If it moves me, I’m locked in.
If the cover is blue? I probably already bought it 😌💙

Mood reader. Vibes reader. Genre-fluid.
That’s it. That’s the post.

Anybody else read like this or are you loyal to ONE genre? 👀📚

2026 Reading Goal: 36 Books 📖🎧📱

In 2026, I’m reading with intention & Consistency.
36 books total:

• 1 physical book (because my TBR is extensive)
• 1 audiobook (for commute)
• 1 Kindle read (because I pay for KU)

This goal isn’t about rushing — it’s about creating space for reading in every season of my life. Different formats. Different moods. Same love for books 🤍

Reading is self-care. Reading is community. Reading is joy.
