    Reacting to Young Adult Books Turning Ten in 2022 and Answering Your Assumptions!

    [CC] Reacting to Young Adult Books Turning Ten in 2022 & Answering Your Assumptions About Me! In episode ten of Reader Rambles, I react to the Buzzfeed list of Young Adult Books Turning Ten in 2022 including The Fault in Our Stars, Throne of Glass, The Selection, and more. I talk about feeling creator burnout last week hence the reason for taking a week off of the podcast. I also share my current reads and what I read last week! And last, I end the episode by answering your bookish assumptions about me that you sent into my Instagram and Twitter.  I'm going to start having guests on the podcast. You can look forward to the first guest episode next week!  Let me know which Booktubers you would like to see me have on. However, I will be having my friends on first as guests because that's what I'm most comfortable with.  Article: https://www.buzzfeed.com/mishmanixon/young-adult-books-turning-10-in-2022 Follow me on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/pucksandpaperbacks/ 🎙 Listen on Audio: https://bit.ly/ramblesep2 Reader Rambles is now on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.  Support This Podcast: https://patreon.com/pucksandpaperbacks Submit a topic: https://forms.gle/1294mazUxmyasagB7 Want my advice?
