GRWM The Problem with "BookTok = Bad" videos + Life Update
TLDR BookTok is ruining reading? What a truly deranged take from people who read their last book in college. No, carrying around the same classic book for five years to appear sophisticated doesn't count as reading. It's non-readers in readers' spaces again. Wrong and confident about genre conventions, writing craft, literary history.

    I hate when people treat fantasy romance as one of the plagues bc more fantasy romances is getting published when... publishing IS A BUSINESS. They WILL go where the money is, my dude! And currently with all the women reading romantasy they want to get their money! Instead of reading those books -- and not the most popular ones like ACOTAR or other things but like any other romantasy -- they treat the whole thing as a trash. Instead of being happy that maybe a lot more readers will read more fantasy books! And with the thing of 'no more epic fantasy being published' my dude. My man. My bro. Maybe you're reading just very straight and white ones??? There's a lot of divers epic fantasy that has come out or is going to come out! Of course you've got BrandoSando and he will always deliver with a 1000+ pages books, but he's an established authors and publishers don't want to publish books that are the same length as Sanderson bc it's a gamble, it's a business. And with cost of paper these days no wonder they want more shorter books. I'm so fed up with these types of arguments can't you tell lol

    • @BooksWaffles
      @BooksWaffles Před 19 dny

      Same same! I’m just as aggravated! I’m admittedly not an epic fantasy reader usually though I have read some and do not discount any genre, so maybe they are published less these days. But at the same time it’s not like they are out of reading material. They won’t be ever. It’s very clear to me that it’s a matter of ego. They don’t want to be associated with the romance readers. God forbid, someone thinks they-an elite fantasy reader-read ACOTAR🙄 And that’s not just them. It’s also litfic readers etc. We’re encroaching on their identity as intellectuals with our silly little romances (as if their dragons not as silly lol). Also, I absolutely do know what it feels like to be into a very niche subgenre. I love historical fantasy of manners with romance subplots (queer romance specifically). It’s not popular and the publishers certainly do not cater and never catered to me but you won’t catch me whining and complaining on the internet about it. Epic fantasy certainly has more stuff to offer.

And talking about love...I recomend you You should be so lucky and we could be so good by Cat Sebastian, i love both couples, so wholesome characters, omg. And there're lesbians too! I will add Malice to my tbr, though 😉. Thanks for the recs! ❤

    • @BooksWaffles

      I'd say the first two seasons are golden, the first part of the third season is questionable, and everything that came after was typical CW cringe. I'm so pumped for You should be so lucky!! I have to finish what I'm reading first but then it's Cat Sebastian time.

  • @RaspberryDevil
    @RaspberryDevil Před měsícem

    Almost all of them are on my tbr so I feel a bit called out that I haven't read them yet. This feels like a deja-vu :') 💜 I also thought that Malice is YA, so it wasn't a high priority, this puts it higher on my list. Age categories are hard these days. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on the third book in the last binding series! I hope to binge the series in late summer / early autumn depending on the stack of my physical books. Might add summer sons to it. Cerulean sea gets a sequel in autumn I think. Not that I'm going to read it myself, but maybe you were curious. He never really addressed - as far as I know - the criticism of the indigenous reviews, so putting out this kind of sequel which has the same tone feels a bit disrespectful to me so I pass :') Who knows, maybe he'll suprise us, but I won't be the reader to find that out. Pretty sure that despite of this it is going to be a good book which makes me a bit sad 😂

    • @BooksWaffles

      I use these videos to pester my subs into reading my favorite books clearly lol Malice just has a YA looking cover for some reason, plus fairytale retelings have been a YA staple for while now, so I guess that's why. I thought he already has a sequel for this series? It is it like a direct sequel? I'm not a big fan of same couple sequels so I probably won't read it even though I have no beef it at all with the first book.

      Is Ocean’s Echo about a different couple? Because I’d be down for sci-fi romance but following the same couple for a few books usually is a little boring. Never heard about AK Mulford. Will have to check them out and then report back, but thank you for the rec✨

    • @Kadzuku
      @Kadzuku Před měsícem

      @BooksWaffles yes, Ocean's Echo is a different couple. It's set in the same universe, but I don't believe any characters or locations overlap so it can be read as a standalone very easily. I've only read A River of Golden Bones by AK Mulford so far, but they write fantasy with queer characters, so I definitely need to read all their books haha.

    Going for the child of a person who wronged you is not something I like reading about, so that book wouldn't been on my list. I'm sorry though that you liked it but the book disappointed you, those are worse reading experiences than not liking a book from the start. I agree with the things you said in the spoiler part. Hope the next book you pick up from that genre is better 🐢✨️

      I'm fine with the premise because it adds ✨️drama✨️ but the execution is so lackluster. I think I'm more annoyed by books that have things coming for them than those that are completely unredeemable. Someone else could have written this books so much better imo

    I love a good series but at the moment I just like standalones 📚 They aren't overwhelming. Also I don't need to worry about getting more than one book - a lot of unfinished series are on my list because I'm missing volumes :')
