I’ll probably get hate for this, but as a reader, I really dislike magical realism. It’s like… I’m just getting sucked into the realistic world and then… BAM… I couldn’t move the plot along without throwing in something impossible. Also, sorry not sorry, I’m shelving your “realistic” book in fantasy
i'm sorry, but modern slang/speak in epic/historical fantasy worlds is a dnf on the spot for me. (urban fantasy is fine. go nuts with urban fantasy and pop culture refs. i am after all a buffy girlie.)
Tell me your most unhinged literary opinion, as a little treat

But this one? I saw my kiddo, every step of the way. Thank you for this, @authormargeaux.bsky.social. www.bloomsbury.com/us/everythin...

The Libby app has saved me so much money! I probably listen to 3 audiobooks per week. Plus I’m physically reading more books from my local branch lately.
