Why I STOPPED Reading Spicy Books as a Christian Reader/Book Editor (How My Reading Taste Changed) 📚

In this honest discussion/chat, I’m sharing why I stopped reading spicy books as a Christian reader/book editor and how my reading preferences have shifted over time. As a follower of Christ, avid reader, and a professional book editor, I’ve had to think intentionally about what I’m consuming, what I’m recommending, and how my reading life aligns with my values. This isn’t about judgment or rules — it’s about personal conviction, growth, and being thoughtful about the stories we let shape us. In this video, I talk about: - What made me step away from spicy romance and explicit content - How my faith influenced my reading taste - What I read instead now/to expect on this channel - How this shift has changed my TBR, bookshelf, and editing lens - Encouragement for Christian readers navigating similar questions If you’re a Christian reader, a book lover rethinking your genres, or someone curious about clean reads and faith-aligned books, this conversation is for you. 💬 I’d love to hear from you in the comments: **Has your reading taste changed over time?** ♥ Chapters: [0:00]- Intro [0:58]- Reading Taste Background/Work As A Book Editor [6:00]- How My Reading Taste Has Changed (No More Spice) [10:11]- Channel Book Content Shift/What To Expect Here Now [10:49]- My Reading Taste Now As A Christian (Closed-Door) [12:10]- Future Videos To Come [12:50]- Who This Channel Is For Now (Book Content) [14:35]- Outro Thanks for watching, don't forget to like and subscribe here! https://www.youtube.com/@StaceyandStephD ♥ Join our New Romantics Channel Membership for exclusive perks! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCW_K9VuuGMATeQn5cJDakFA/join ♥ Support Our Business: Twin Booked Media: Email Us: hello@twinbookedmedia.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/twinbookedmedia Our Website: https://www.twinbookedmedia.com Join Our Email List: https://twinbookedmedia.com/twintalk/ Apply To Work With Us: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScoyGEVvejojyU7EzIpXxs0mMI3P05_dFzmBegf7CPRTVKX5g/viewform Editing Steps Ebook Freebie: https://twinbookedmedia.com/editing-steps-ebook-freebie/ Book A 1:1 Coaching Call: https://koalendar.com/e/book-a-call-with-stacey Our Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/blessed-business-owners-podcast-|-start-an-online-business-work-from-home-christian-women-twin-booked-media-authors/id1809208668 Read Our Blog: https://twinbookedmedia.com/category/blog/ Business Reset Checklist Freebie: https://twinbookedmedia.com/business-reset-checklist/ ♥ Connect With Steph: Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/8953513-stephanie ♥ For Business/Sponsorship Inquiries: Email: staceydicesare@gmail.com ♥ Affiliate Links: Book Cover Designer: https://miblart.com/?ref=stephaniedicesare Editing Course: https://editrepublic.samcart.com/referral/QeUrNrRq/4EBBgQHSpNfuyxBG Get Hello Thematic Premium Music: https://app.hellothematic.com/?via=stacey-dicesare ♥ Referral Links: Free UGC Emails: https://brands-meet-creators.beehiiv.com/subscribe?ref=guyjIqqhb8 BonFire Shop: https://www.bonfire.com/welcome/90ebb420a8d94/ Restream: https://restream.io/join/Z63W28 Magtame: https://magtame.com/?ref=Imk7YRNGfBZrXP ♥ Music: Free Music for Videos 👉 Music by Drew Richmond - High Seas - https://thmatc.co/?l=5684EB67 Disclaimer: This video is not sponsored and all items were purchased on our own.
