i made a video about books pushed to specifically to women with this mindset combined with the “im just a girl!!!” trend and they ate me alive 😅

I keep saying: it’s okay to like a bad book. It’s not a moral failing. But it’s not good because you like it.

it’s cause they don’t want to admit the author wasn’t thinking when writing it 😭

It’s literally sooo offensive!! Lmao if I was an author actively avoiding negative reviews & I opened a 5 star review that said that I’d crash out

There are two types of “brain off” books to me - easy to read vs you don’t need thought for this because no thought was put into it

Brain off books should be romcom where you laugh bcs it is absurd not bcs it is written so bad. I love rom com where the female is funny but their is still a little bit of plot and actually fun to read.

The only series I accept this take on is ice planet barbarians. After reading a heavy story I will go back for my big blue aliens to giggle and kick my feet

there are also SO MANY simple/non-complex/easy books out there that are still good too. they're like the book equivalent of going for a walk instead of mountain climbing, but it's all still exercise.

To me there’s a huge difference between “a fun book that’s an easy read you don’t have to think about too much” and “a book you HAVE TO turn your brain off to enjoy.”

It’s because it should be “I turn off my brain so I don’t have to think about things that contradict my worldview or make me uncomfy”

Just bc you liked it doesn’t mean it’s of quality. Btw.

Honestly, I prefer to just say that I found it entertaining. Books are like food to me. Some I eat because I'm hungry, and some I eat because it's my favorite. I wouldn't eat bad food.

I HATE when people say that about FBAA universe 😭 It’s one of my personal favorites but when SOME people are like “You don’t have to think about it” are missing so much of the storytelling!!

Reading is one of the only hobbies where people are actively not trying to get any better at it. They read books with no substance because “reading should be fun!”

“It’s my favorite series- just keep going gets better by book 3/4-“ YOU WANT ME TO SLOG THROUGH 1000+ PAGES BEFORE IT “GETS GOOD”?????? The series is 7 books long wdym more than half aren’t good????

Suspension of disbelief is one thing having low standards is another, also if the writing is bad it makes it harder to suspend your disbelief anyways 😭😭😭

I'm on month three trying to read/listen to Fourth Wing and every time Rebecca Yarros repeat the same information to be "easy" to remember... I feel my brain heating up and melting. And it feels awful
