This really broke my heart..

It's strange because there is a tag going around BookTube The Pain Over Joy Reading Tag (An Original Tag by Lady Lovestead Reads) which asks the question: ''Do you see books about pain as more intellectually valuable?''

My first thought was ''No'' but some other BookTubers did this tag and one of them (rel="nofollow" target="_top">Bookish) mentioned that the best stories are about conflict (I'm paraphrasing here) and therefore people will find those stories more of a challenge. At least that was what I took from that video.

The thing is I thought I read purely for joy. The best books are the ones that focus on joy. I don't like doom and gloom. But I think the books I think most about are stories like this.

There was joy in it but also conflict and in the end it pained me, and because of that it made me think. Is it therefore more valuable to me? Not really but this is a a story I will remember. I think.

Still have no idea what a Masquerade is though...… (mehr)
