I mean yeah I’d have $0.20 if I received a nickel from anyone who took a ride on the Rowling to Tolkien pipeline but a girl’s gotta dream.

I’ve found some good stuff off BookTok (Legendborn series, so good), but some real garbage also.

I’m just happy if people are reading. I remember when the Twilight books came out. I made it about 3 chapters in before I gave up because they were terrible. My hope is that people will start with the bad books and gain confidence to move onto better material. We all started somewhere.
