"but the text never explicitly stated it!!!" hey, so that's actually what they tried to teach you in those english classes you barely passed 😁

Don't talk to me if you buy all your books on Amazon and huge bookstore chains

do publishers realize that advertising books using fanfic tropes spoils the experience of reading an original story. stop telling me it’s enemies to lovers and there was only one bed and unrequited love hurt comfort golden retriever black cat timeloop major character death. why do i give a fuck if i don’t know any of the characters and now plus i already know the entire plot of the story. that’s what ao3 is supposed to be for

Hi before y'all from the booktok crowd flock to here (my blog), I want to make you aware of the fact that even if you put a gun to my head I will not read anything by sjm or anything by Rebecca yarros.

And if you think about being annoying in my inbox or comments about it, there's a block button. Block me. It's not twitter, so I don't care if you block me.

i’m an advocate for destroying your books as much as you need or want. annotate them if you please, crack the spine, dog ear the pages, get it dirty with evidence of the life you live, make your reading as comfortable as it can be. the obsession on booktok with keeping books as pristine and crisp as possible is so strange and consumerist to me. books are so much more than their physical appearance. it makes me sad they have become something to parade around—the way you would an expensive car. proving your superiority though your affinity for “literature” (usually smvt that should have stayed on wattpad if im real.) this rant has gone in a strange direction but my point is destroy your books cause you literally own them don’t make booktok make you afraid to do so

propaganda I will NOT be falling for:

Got jumpscared with a ai generated Rhysand fanart. Day ruined!

Am I alone in the feeling that not every book needs to be a series?

I get it, it’s so fun to continue on with the story and make this giant world with intricate details, but I really just want it to end sometimes.

I love a good interconnected standalone, but not every book needs one !! Just let it be done please.

sometimes the bestselling books is one of the best books ive ever read and sometimes its one of the worst and you just have to use your best judgment to guess which ones are which cause there are some surprises

[vampireprose]

Some people really should learn that dnfing is an option. Girl (gender neutral), you don't have to read something you don't like! Have fun! Break the chains around your wrists and walk out that prison! Freedom and sunshine, aka a new book you enjoy, are waiting outside!

You can take me out of the book but not the book out of me.

You know what I hate the most about many (but not all!!) book girlies on Instagram and TikTok?

That they can't take constructive criticism of their favourite books or authors. Like I know you like that book, but it has still its flaws.

Yeah, I love my favourite books too, but they are definitely not perfect. Acknowledging their flaws comes with critical thinking, which is good for you btw. Especially in a time where we are flooded with many (fake) news and influences around us politics wise.

You can still like that book and you can still reread as often as you like and post about it and the characters as if there's no tomorrow. But please, please don't harrass people for criticising a fucking work of fiction in a constructive manner. They are not insulting you or anyone you know. It's just a book and fortunately for us all people have different tastes and opinions!

So anyway, this post came to be because I saw a video of a bookish creator talking about famous book couples from certain very popular books, which he doesn't like and why. He had a lot of valid points, but of course, the comments were flooded with people who can't bear to hear criticism of their favourite books.

Thanks for listening!
