The Book Thread Book • Page 185

I'm about halfway through the Lost Bookshop by Evie Woods and I'm not sure I'm enjoying it. It just feels kinda pandering? Idk. Lately I'm kinda cynical. I'm not mad at women being pandered to but it's kinda boring. Like when I read Grady Hendrix I'm not upset about the feminist themes and centering things around female characters, but idk. Sometimes it doesn't feel organic and feels more self serving?

I think there's def a place for entertaining popcorn reads that aren't super deep and know their audience. And it's not like I'm out here reading lauded classic authors or being pretentious. It just feels a bit stale and boring. Idk sometimes authors writing books about books feels like how much Hollywood loves movies about Hollywood and making movies?

Idk man im working on a Sunday so not making sense of my own thoughts haha

Edit: also, I've been tracking what I read on Goodreads and I swear every book on there has exactly 4 stars. Plz don't fact check this. It's my very scientific and researched opinion
