  • Trigger or Content Warnings

    So I would like to know where people stand on content or trigger warnings given by authors. This on issues like eating disorders, familial or domestic violence, the nature of sexual encounters, etc. What warnings do you think are needed?

    If you support them do you think they gave to be at the start of the book or just mentioned there. I won't lie I'm fully for them.

  • What things make drop a book immediately?

    I consider myself someone who has zero problems abandoning a book, as soon as I read something that bothers me enough I'm out. But there is one specific thing that completely takes me out of the book.

    It is when a character does something no one would ever do if in their place. I once began to read a book where the main character was going to her first day at her job in a male dominated office and work field and as soon as she got there the first thing she began to do was drop a bunch of sexual jokes to people she had never seen before. Like, who does that? No woman in that same situation would risk her reputation in the first day of work like that.

    One thing would have been if she had made those same jokes in informal circle with her friends or whatever, but that was not the case. For me that was equivalent of those movies where the character fallow strangers into the forest no matter how weird said stranger is.

    What about you, what makes you completely drop out of a story?

    I thoroughly enjoyed this book - I did often forget that the main character was only 14 as she is definitely wise beyond her years, but that's not a bad thing!

    This book had so many funny moments and parts I could quote here but as my favourite would give away a spoiler, I'll put my a different favourite instead:

    "You haven't lived until you've seen a cookie look smug."

    "There was a dead girl in my aunt's bakery."

    Now that's a good opening. And I already like Mona, she has humour.

    Real thoughts for a second

    “When you're different, even just a little different, even in a way that people can't see, you like to know that people in power won't judge you for it.”

    This may be a fairly simple line in a book for young people but it's so, so real. I just feel like it needs to be shared.
