Are you team YU/YO or YU/YU? and why?

Well, I don't know how this question sounds, but after almost a year of crocheting, I've found myself automatically doing YO/YO.

I always wondered why my stitches looked different from most of the amigurumi I see online 🤣 and just realized that there's a thing called "yarn under" lol.

Now that I know there are two main teams: YU/YO and YU/YU, I'd like to know which one you prefer and why!

A book that captivated you when no genre felt right anymore?

I feel like I'm in a strange in-between phase with books lately. I used to read existential/identity-focused novels (Dostoevsky and Dazai, for example), then read some splatterpunk, and I recently found myself drawn to the atmosphere of Carlos Ruiz Zafón's Cemetery Of Forgotten Books series.

The thing is, I no longer know what "genre" seems to fit me currently. So I'd really appreciate recommendations for a book that evoked any of these feelings for you:

"This changed how I read"

"This made me feel obsessed with reading again"

"I didn't know this kind of book existed"

I'm open to any genre! Though I'm not really into romance-centered plots or relationship drama.

My first time reading novels has been Carlos Ruiz Zafón's The Cemetery of Forgotten Books series, and I fell in love with the atmospheric vibe, so I'm definitely going to continue reading novels with the same vibe! Long books or a series of several volumes are preferred but not a must.

Brushing them with melted butter while they are still hot adds the perfect texture 👌🏻

If you've read The Shadow of the Winds, you'll definitely understand how good it felt to see Fermin Romero de Torres again. It mainly focuses on his traumatic past which adds more depth to his character.

There's also that unexpected connection between Daniel (the main character) and David Martin (The Angel's Game main character).

It felt a bit short, but it was still a very nice story. Can't wait to read the final book of the series The Cemetary of Forgotten Books!
