debated putting this in the tags/reblogs of the post i saw but it's not that serious and i don't want to bother op on a two year old rant post that broke containment. but you can't criticize booktok for lacking literacy and in the same breath say that colleen hoover has published 46 books since 2015 "according to google." that is just blatantly untrue. google is a text scraper, not a source. if you cross reference wikipedia and her own website you can count a total of 20 full length novels, plus 3 novellas, plus a three-part novella series that has been compiled into one book. that's 24 books published 2012-2022 (when op was made). that is HALF of what that op claimed was true AND i'm including a longer timespan. they weren't off by just one or two but TWENTY-TWO books because they took "google" as a source. and they want to talk about literacy among the general population? seriously?

#they also went on to say it's disconcerting that colleen hoover outsold the bible. like please.#she is popular RIGHT NOW. usable intact copies of the bible have been circulating for DECADES #most people interested in reading the bible already have a copy and aren't buying new ones in the year 2022!!! what the hell!!!#why are they just blatantly saying misinfo or incomplete info with their full chest #and at the same time criticizing literacy #and very few ppl in the notes of 1000+ reblogs have called them out about that 46 number #because everyone is so eager to just hate on coho that they don't bother to look up whether the info they're spreading is true or not #like i don't care about coho. i agree with their frustration. this is NOT a coho defense post #but that is really not the way to go about criticizing her or booktok #i understand that they were just angry ranting and the post broke containment which is why im not saying anything there. but damn.#that post was a response to an ask that said 'its not that bad surely'#you know what? i agree with the asker. it's NOT as bad as op (responder) makes it out to be. bc they're clearly exaggerating #i cannot take that rant seriously. sorry lol
