Bookish Bits // Fave Reads – Spoiler, It’s Schwab, Schwab and More Schwab

Today I’m gonna talk about my favourite reads ever!

So, what makes a favourite book for me? Uhhhhh…

I wish I could give a simple answer but I can’t. What I can say is that it needs to have at least 1-2 of the following;

☁️ Strong characters, preferably also with strong development/arcs

☁️ A large cast of characters that play off each other really well

☁️ An atmospheric and brilliantly crafted world

☁️ An intense and intricate plot

☁️ Unpredictable plot twists

☁️ Makes me feel, a lot! This is the main one! It’s the only MUST on this list. 

I won’t be including graphic novels in this one but I am going to give them a separate post later on in the week so keep your eyes peeled for that!
