I would love to hear your thoughts on this topic here or in the comments on this video!

We had some really good discussions when this was first released. 🧵 5/5

The last time we had this discourse, this video (🔗 in next section) was my contribution to the topic, & I think it's still very relevant. I'd like to postulate that what you choose to read DOES matter, but not for the way others will perceive you. It matters because of what it can do for YOU. 🧵 4/5

While this is a beautiful thing, reading publicly online is extremely different from reading privately. The Observer Effect is in full force: just the act of being perceived changes the thing itself. It adds a new perspective to this (usually) private hobby, & it takes some getting used to. 🧵 3/5

I feel like the community goes through this discourse in waves every few years, but this round seems particularly far-reaching; probably because so many more people are reading and, as a result, there are many new voices in the online book space. 🧵 2/5

Completely understandable why comfort reads would be on the menu 💕 what's one of your go-tos?

And I've never Rucker duo any of these, but Magic after Midlife???? That sounds incredible. Don't mind me running to add that to my TBR 🏃‍♀️

Apparently all the pictures didn't post so...no selfies this time 😩😆
