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.
Just a reminder #booksky

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.

You cannot determine if someone is a "virgin" by using a fucking speculum exam!

Whether or not someone has had PIV sex cannot be determined by if they bleed or not. ๐ฃ๐ฃ
Can we give up on this shit in books, please?!
Cover of the favorite girl by Monica Arya. "You don't want to be chosen as..." Cover is a tan woman with white hair, hat, and dress. She has sunglasses on that say "A thriller"
Repetitive phrases: - "He rolled his lips together" "my palms grew moist" "Pinching my lips to the side" Repetitive internal dialogue: - "Maybe that's why I loved to read so much. I could escape my reality and live a thousand lives through the pages and words of others. Thanks to the library, I could actually have a warm place to read. I could be anyone and anything. I could be loved. I could explore. I could feel..." "But it wasn't just because this was my last chance at having a steady income and place to live; it was also because my intuition kept telling me to turn around and leave. Something was off, the feeling was palpable. Four years ago, when I was taken and held in the small room, I developed a very strong sense of intuition. It was the way I
could finally fall asleep without being terrified; it was the way I knew what was coming. Today, everything felt the way it does before a storm and you've left your umbrella at home. You know something bad is coming and you also know you're unprepared, but you still go." over explaining: easily assumed by the context but then the MC has to say it in her internal dialogue too Odd phrasing: - "peeling the gloves and cardigan on..." "He grew so close to me that his..." The MC: - She was constantly breaking rules and told she would die because of it but literally not a damn thing happened to her
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

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

So I'm thinking these covers probably are? I didn't see a cover artist listed in the first book. I also commented on the author's tiktok to ask, but...those tattoos aren't looking good ๐ฅบ. I wanted to read it ๐ญ

I'm trash at spotting AI covers. If I post one, please tell me because I didn't do it on purpose. I swear ๐ญ

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
I'm the breadwinner & my office is decorated like a nursery b/c I like cute shit. It doesn't make me any less of an adult
