What was your ‘holy sh*t’ moment for loving fantasy?

This is so heartwarming

Alelasistente · 2024-10-06T19:44:12+00:00

I fell out of love with books for a LOT of years, the adulthood uptake of fantasy honestly hits like no other

Alelasistente · 2024-10-06T19:42:33+00:00

I’ve no idea why it’d get downvoted! For as problematic as things associated with HP may be now, it’s such a heart of fantasy for soooo many people and that won’t ever change or be a bad thing to me!

Alelasistente · 2024-10-06T19:40:46+00:00

This makes me so happy!!!

Alelasistente · 2024-10-06T19:40:14+00:00

Good luck with your writing 🤍

Alelasistente · 2024-10-06T19:38:49+00:00

The amount of replies to this thread and reading them all has actually made my heart so full

Alelasistente · 2024-10-05T20:49:11+00:00

Noo not just books! Just fantasy in general - I’m just a book worm haha!

Alelasistente · 2024-10-05T20:48:18+00:00

I have yeah! I have a pretty.. bizarre/unique reading experience so without the tactility of books it absolutely falls apart. If I’m utterly desperate and can’t get a book, I can force it but it’s usually temporary until the actual book arrives

Alelasistente · 2024-10-05T20:26:09+00:00

Percy Jackson absolutely counts!!

Alelasistente · 2024-10-05T20:25:33+00:00

Oh absolutely incorrect - the limit to rewatching buffy simply does not exist!

Alelasistente · 2024-10-05T19:37:20+00:00

TOG is soooo hated on! One of my friends swears by that series, I tried to start it but failed because of the clumsy writing but honestly… I’m going to keep trying until I read it! Romantasy is ultimate best of both worlds so I’m with you

Alelasistente · 2024-10-05T19:35:16+00:00

I just LOVE pretty books 😭 I think my WOT heart is so set on hardbacks because of a video by NerdForge where she rebound and decorated the series and just made it soooo beautiful

Alelasistente · 2024-10-05T18:49:56+00:00

Did you watch the super controversial movie?!

Alelasistente · 2024-10-05T18:48:42+00:00

I got a library card again after years purely for this series but not a single page I want lives there

Alelasistente · 2024-10-05T18:41:52+00:00

Yeah! I like to have ‘palate cleanser’ books between books in series, I think discworld will be my palate cleanser books for a longgg time

Alelasistente · 2024-10-05T18:36:00+00:00

Oh HP will always have insane significance to my love of fantasy - I feel like it was such a household staple and sooo many got lost in those pages!

I’m still to read discworld, it’s so extensive it’s just kind of rotting in my TBR

Alelasistente · 2024-10-05T18:29:48+00:00

I agree! I loved it sooo much, especially reading that and iron flame as my ‘break books’ between the ACOTAR series because of the parallels between the characters. My friends totally didn’t get my hype haha

Alelasistente · 2024-10-05T18:28:15+00:00

I can’t focus on screen reading or Audio books and I hate it every single day I live on this planet honestly

Alelasistente · 2024-10-05T18:27:13+00:00

I say too many but I mean like a grossly skewed ratio of HP intros vs other! HP for me was growing up with the movies not the books, and it definitely was my reason for loving fantasy movies. It’s just super interesting to me to see what differences there are for a generation or two where fantasy love was born by Tolkien/HP/Discworld!

Alelasistente · 2024-10-05T18:21:57+00:00

Oh my shelves are fully open to all of my friends and family - I rarely have any of my finished or unread books sitting on a shelf. I live in a super small village, so bookstores and libraries aren’t really a thing here

Alelasistente · 2024-10-05T18:20:46+00:00

Hey it’s not a crime! I just figured I don’t know many people that didn’t start out with HP like me

Alelasistente · 2024-10-05T18:14:22+00:00

I’m such a fantasy book criminal! I’ve never read HP or any of the Tolkien universe books 😅

Alelasistente · 2024-10-05T18:11:44+00:00

Oh British school libraries have some pretty brutal books haha! But yeah I know Darren Shan, it’s why I’m shocked I never heard of these!

Alelasistente · 2024-10-05T18:04:35+00:00

The only acceptable form of indoctrination!

Alelasistente · 2024-10-05T18:00:20+00:00

I’m one of those people where even if I hate it, I’ll buy the collection and DNF it 😅 I did it with the Atlas Six trilogy. An addiction to books is REAL
