no bc why are they all bad. every fiction book (and even a few nonfic) have been utterly terrible. Like the actual quality of the writing is objectively terrible, but because it has porn and tropes people like, it becomes popular. there are very few people online i trust for reviews, and literally none of them read fiction. i am starving
i like Ashley from Bookish Realm for my book recommendations, but yeah, otherwise I'm not on board with a lot of booktube or booktok influencers.
i need to find a horror booktuber that doesn't just read Stephen King and it might have to be me. this isn't a dig at stephen king btw-- just that if you're gonna recommend stephen king to me, i'm going to stare at you for 20 minutes and then say "wow i have never heard of that book, where did you discover it." i do not need stephen king recommendations. i know who he is. i have read so many of his books. you do not need to tell me a damn thing about him.
gonna plug
Bookish Realm if you're interested in reading more bipoc stuff. i've found a ton of good books thru her.
