For members of any and all marginalized groups, what books have made you feel seen and/or are books you consider "the most" accurate representation? I've come across a lot of books that, while touted as representation, feel a little flat or stereotypical. Not all members of marginalized groups are going to be the best spokespeople through the written word, and everyone has a different experience, so not every book is going to be great representation for every person.

So which books really resonated with you and your experience, fiction or nonfiction, hopeful or devastating, overtly about marginalization or not?

I'm so glad im not the only one that is fed up with nena's shit at this point in the story. Like I get it that she thought he'd left her out of nowhere in the beginning, but at this point, you've seen what happens to vampire victims, you know what it looks like to others, he's told you multiple times he thought you were dead, everyone said you were dead and that it was his fault and your dad was literally about to get at him, what the fuck was he gonna do???? he was a kid!!! and he spent 9 years thinking nena was dead so ofc he went on with his life (barely) and tried to move on! am I being unreasonable??? I get that she feels helpless in her life and circumstance but that is so not nestor's fault nor his problem really? why are you acting like he committed high treason when, even if he had come back, you still couldn't be together because of your bitchass dad?

I'm so annoyed lol

Just like the title says. A few other people on other apps got mad I asked this question because ' it's rude' to them.

I'd like any queer book written by aqueer author because I'm queer

Authors, we get it, you’ve got to move the story along or slip in some worldbuilding…but did you have to do it like that?

What’s the worst plot device you’ve ever encountered? I’m talking info-dumps disguised as dialogue, miraculous coincidences that hand-deliver crucial clues, or protagonist's who are dumb as rocks, who somehow Sherlock their way to the truth with zero evidence.

For me, it’s The Fourth Wing. Your FMC 'soothes herself' by reciting the entire history of the world? Really? Straight to jail, Rebecca.

Is there a specific book or type of book you collect?

I try to thrift Eloisa James and Lisa Kleypas Historical Romance from the thrift stores and it's like a game.

I was curious if there were books people tried to collect specifically.

I learnt from an author on Instagram the actual difference between why choose & reverse harem

WC: All members ( 2 or more) are ALL connected . Swords cross and everything

RH: 1 woman, 2 men or more just connect with the woman, no swords

My name is JadeLovesBooks.

I am very very very very type B personality yet for the most part everything seems to work out. I’ve never read Harry Potter or seen the movies and have zero interest in doing so I am 8 years sober I don’t care about Taylor swift (I’m sorry)
