Goodreads has launched the opening round for their yearly awards for the best books just recently. I skimmed through the categories myself, yet already saw quite mixed reviews about the suggestions for this year’s nominees.
Some categories like poetry and children books were removed (yeah, you can say that children ain’t a target audience for the Goodreads yet this platform always seemed to be well rounded).
Graphic novels is also something that was removed unfortunately. Although these ain’t my cup of tea, I’m almost sure it must be upsetting for a large group of people.
I actually think that and Horrorstör are his best books, mainly because he’s not trying to write about feminist women topics that should be left to women. I don’t understand the hype of final girls support group, my best friends exorcism or that southern guide to slaying vampires. I don’t think he’s good at writing women and I keep thinking why are publishers not letting women write these topics. The band one was also awful though. I’ve now figured out I only like Grady Hendrix when he does not try his hand at feminist topics.
