I strongly believe that booktok is one of the worst things to happen to literature and greatly delight in watching videos that really dig into why all these popular booktoks books like it ends with us, powerless, lightlark...etc are so bad. But one thing that pisses me off is how the people who make these videos have to defend themselves and acknowledge every bit of criticism they think they might get from stating that a bad book is bad. This is mostly because majority of the people on booktube are women and we are socialized to doubt ourselves more than men, but c'mon. If you are a grown ass women and you like fourth wing even though its bad and you cannot handle someone making a video critiquing that book and you know it's going to hurt your feelings, just don't watch it! But this is the type of forethought people who like booktok books rarely possess so...
#the pyre#sometimes I like bad books I hold the foxhole court very near to my heart even though its very stream of consciousness bc#the author didn't have a good enough grasp on her series to do any foreshadowing and also a lot of things don't make sense#if you scroll through the goodread reviews for the first book it's just ppl saying “that's not how sports work” or#“that's not how mental illness works” over and over again and they're all right#this is why I 'm so apathetic to ppl like this bc I know what it's like to be obsessed with an objectivly bad book but I still don't#act like y'all...learn to behave yourself <3
