i was missing out on middle grade fantasy

jo renee reads 2022-09-01 | reading out of my comfort zone ep. 1. i never read middle grade... should i? since joining the book community I’ve found so many incredible books, but I’ve also narrowed the scope of my reading in a lot of ways. I don’t want to allow booktube elitism or my own preconceived notions to keep me from reading great books. reading vlog, partially courtesy of some amazing book reviews and recommendations from trishawantstoread on instagram. middle grade fantasy, with mythology and legends from around the world and lots of warm book hugs.
