I’ve noticed this once or twice whenever I read a book, and while I’m not sure if everyone has the same thing, I figured I’d make a post on things I’ve noticed in books that have either made me enjoy the book more, or less!
I am aware that authors have literally little to no control over how their book is formatted, but there are a few things that they can do that is up to them.
Whenever I find myself discussing a book, someone always has to say “so why’d you read it if you dislike it so much?” or something in the same caliber. It seems to me that some people just don’t understand what discussing a book can mean.
Just because you see me critiquing a book, doesn’t necessarily mean that I hate or dislike it. I’m just admitting that it’s not perfect-which, for some reason, a lot of people can’t seem to understand.
I’ve seen this discussion more and more often, and before too long, I knew my side. After seeing Jen’s feature of #DiversityBoost on her blog The Bookavid, I was prompted to sort out my thoughts, and try to put them down.
So, without further ado, here’s my thoughts and opinions on why diversity matters, and how I plan to do my part.
I’ve read my fair-share of what could be called “popular books”. I’ve read Harry Potter. I’ve read Shadow and Bone, Divergent, A Darker Shade of Magic, and The Knife of Never Letting Go.
And I’ve only been satisfied with one of them-A Darker Shade of Magic. Why haven’t the others hit home with me?
Recently, I noticed a discussion going around about whether or whether not books should be given trigger warnings. Here’s my opinion on this topic, which I thought I could give a good perspective on-I have triggers, which have stopped me from reading certain books, as well as DNF them.
Here’s why they’re important.
