Book Blogger Hop's purpose is to give bloggers a chance to discover and follow other blogs, learn about new books, befriend bloggers, and gain followers. Each week the hop will start on a Friday and end on Thursday where there will be a weekly prompt following a bookish question.
Question:
What author do you not read and why? (submitted by Elizabeth @ Silver's Reviews)
Answer:
Hmmm I have a shortish list for this answer! I don't typically write off authors completely unless they have been proven to be not great people or their content have themes and tropes I find unhealthy.
Colleen Hoover, because I find her stories to be super toxic and unhealthy.
Daniel Handler/Lemony Snicket, because he has been outed by many people for saying racists and sexist things at book events. And I don't feel comfortable supporting that.
I also am not super interested in reading a lot of classic lit authors, like Jane Austen, the Bronte Sisters, etc. But that is less because of the authors and more because I just am not interested in classics. But I am not writing these classic romance writers off completely, one day I could be into reading them.
Good to hear you don't write authors off until you have checked them out. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Yeah! I definitely give most authors a chance before deciding if they're for me or not.
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
Same for me with Colleen Hoover. I've never read a full book by her but the passages are very off-putting and borderline abusive to me. http://poetrybooksya.blogspot.com/2018/09/bookbloggerhop-september-14-20-authors.html
ReplyDeleteYeah it's just uncomfortable and for books that are supposed to be sexy they're super not at all. It's uncomfortable.
