Can we have some characters with cool hair, please? Pastel purple, pink, something ๐Ÿ‘€. You could literally make it their natural hair color. Oo or purple eyes? I mean, it's fiction... come on ๐Ÿ˜ž. Have a little fun with it

For anyone who is unaware, SJM has:
- used the murder of Breonna Taylor to promote ACOSF (post is still up) - proudly supported the IOF - been on birthright and never condemned the genocide that has been taking place for years  - used countless racist tropes her books - been lesbophobic in her books - Made her fantasy map almost identical to the UK and Ireland and then made Ireland the bad guy invaders (while taking Irish myths for her books)
And none of these are conspiracy theories.

If you care about the LGBTQIA+ community, you should be supporting this.

If you care about BIPOC, you should be supporting this.

If you're against censorship, you should be supporting this.

If you care about people paying their bills and feeding their families, you should be supporting this.

I'll also add, ahem, ๐Ÿ“ฃ:
You cannot determine if someone is a "virgin" by using a fucking speculum exam!
**AND**
Whether or not someone has had PIV sex cannot be determined by if they bleed or not. ๐Ÿ“ฃ๐Ÿ“ฃ

Can we give up on this shit in books, please?!

Cover of the favorite girl by Monica Arya.

Cover is a tan woman with white hair, hat, and dress. She has sunglasses on that say "A thriller"

"Pinching my lips to the side"

Repetitive internal dialogue:

over explaining: easily assumed by the context but then the MC has to say it in her internal dialogue too

Odd phrasing:

"He grew so close to me that his..."

Inconsistencies in at least two character histories and at least one physical description

Oh, once she got in the house and realized what was happening, everything got very boring. It was mostly just her doing stupid shit and being told she would die because of it but not even getting a slap on the wrist. She doesn't experience any of the uncomfortable shit that's happening. She just gets told about it and sees the most basic version of what's going on.

This was bullshit. I hate that I read as much as I did. DNF at 63% I could say sooooo much more about it, but I won't spoil it...even though it's stupid...whatever.

I have zero hope people are going to stop using gen AI when they can't even let Harry Potter die when the creator is actively harming an already vulnerable and targeted marginalized group (Trans community ).

Idk, maybe I'm just super pessimistic

Her lips parted in shock, drawing my eyes to them. They were pink and soft and her tongue darted out to wet them. My heart began beating a little harder at the sight of that simple gesture. I ripped my gaze away again.

I started A Burning Oath by C.L. Lor last night.....I usually stay away from fated mates, but a sassy MMC unicorn shifter who thinks his life is over because he's not beautiful anymore (his horn is broken) is hard to pass up

I promise it's okay to like cutesy and child-like shit as an adult. If you want to heal your inner child, ok but it doesn't have to always be about that. You can just like it
