Emily’s Epics, Emotions, and the Algorithm

from Bibliophile Breakdown · host Kendall Wheeler

Today we talk to Emily (AKA emilygwynreads on Instagram and TikTok) who is lifelong reader to talk about growing up in a book-loving family and finding home in epic worlds and complicated love stories. From her devotion to The Raven Cycle to unpacking why fantasy deserves more literary credit, Emily dives into character depth, the rise (and side-eyes) of dark romance, and how romance as a genre is evolving beyond the clichés. We also get honest about navigating the very different vibes of BookTok and Bookstagram, the power of vulnerability online, and how social media has completely reshaped the way readers connect with books and each other.
