Why do people get so offended if someone says they hated a book that was perhaps someone else's favorite? Why do we ask each other "did we even read the same book??" Why are people shaming each other for enjoying certain tropes and themes? Like.. just go read whatever you want. <thread>

This. Also, can we start having more main characters over the age of, say, 30?
Hey romance/smut writers. Can we please stop including flashbacks to the characters as minors? Especially if you’re going to put them in a sexual situation? It is so deeply uncomfortable to read and I don’t understand why it’s so common.

It’s 25 degrees in Kansas City where the Chiefs and Texans are playing for a full stadium. Guess it’s only dangerous when it’s an inauguration.

Friendly reminder that if you buy a book on Kindle, you're only paying for the rights to read, not own. If a book truly gets banned, it will be taken away from digital platforms like Kindle, nook, etc. Consider getting physical copies of banned (or other) books!

What a weird take. "It should be a school you can afford" well sir plenty of people can't afford it at all. By this logic, is everyone who does not go to school also not wise?
And before start the Pell grant talk.. remember that does not cover living expenses and childcare in most cases.

I'm super driven in my career and constantly working toward goals, but I am chronically disorganized. Outlook folders? Never heard of them. Search the inbox instead. Saved that one important thing in a very safe place? Immediately forgetting the safe place. --- Capricorn

I believe this, but if you don't, why do you care? We're all consuming books. Why are people wasting their breath criticizing how people listen to audiobooks and words they choose to describe the activity?

Never buy physical copies from Amazon, will always arrive damaged. Order from indie stores to support them and receive with care.
Only stay on KU to read lots of indie authors (11.99/mo.) Use Libro to buy audiobooks. Libby for the library.
Back up your Kindle/Audible purchases! Never know.

I know there's been a lot of talk about not buying books from Amazon, but also how that would hurt so many indie authors who rely on Amazon and KU.
One thing you can do to counter that is request your favorite indie book at your local bookstore and library! Make noise about those books!

A repeat thought, Bluesky, & a Librarian told you this so it must be true 🤣
Audiobooks definitely count as reading (as well as listening). If you've played through an audioook, its perfectly fine to describe that as "I have read [x]"
All other forms of assistive software count as reading too 💙📚
