Shaming people’s booktaste and gatekeep reading? Real nice of you…

People can read whatever they like, it’s okay to like books, it’s okay to not like books. What’s not okay is being disrespectful and shaming people for what they read… people may love those books you hate because of taste? Taste? You know that completely subjective thing that’s different for everyone and there’s no right or wrong? Every single book has 5 star and 1 star reviews, its all fine, just know its just your opinion and both reviews are valid. There are probably enough people hating the books you love too

You don’t vibe with booktok, completely valid, nobody is forcing you, just read whatever you do like. Everyone will leave you alone, respect your taste and opinions, just like you can respect others even if you don’t agree with them

Polarization?

Trying to put people in certain labels and being scared when they can’t label people?

1. 17
2. Still trying to figure out what study to do
3. I read basically only new books
4. Probably… but I haven’t read enough older works to judge
5. I think so, the world moves way faster than before and changes so much faster
6. I don’t really mind it that much, i don’t hate it, but it’s also not something that would make the book better. So i’m very neutral about it

Some authors plan books series out for years and even plan for when they die and have notes on what should happen

It can be very possible this author had planned all these books and wanted the series to continue and probably had notes on how the plot should continue if this is true

I think it’s cause women are generally reading more than men and young people use goodreads more often than old people… so the group young women is a bit of the dominant group in the demographic… and indeed the popular books are popular

A lot of those books were the most read books on goodreads this year, so it’s not weird they are nominated

I absolutely love those stamps! I think she’ll love it too
