This week's question is: What author do you not read and why?
My answer: Hehe, I have a lot. I have a goodreads shelf of that. Mostly it's about the author's behaviour. There are only so many books you can read in a lifetime. I really do try not to read a lot of books that I know I won't like, and I'm giving myself permission to DNF or pass on more books as I get older.
And that's true of books where I just don't click with the writing style, but it's especially true of books I find offensive. If your book, or your behaviour, tells me that you think I'm less than human, or that something's wrong with me for being the way I am, why would I want to spend time reading your book and then writing about it on my blog? I'm not going to support books from authors who hate ace/aro people, and I'm not going to support any author who writes fat hate books.
Plus I'm not going to put support behind books or authors that are, like, violently racist. I don't think I need to say why, huh?
On a very serious note, I'm also not going to read any author that has been outed as an abuser. I won't read their books, and any books I have read will eventually have their reviews edited or star ratings taken away on goodreads. (Eventually. I'm so behind, unfortunately.)
Yeesh, this got sad. What's something lighter I can add to this? Is there like a funny version of this answer? Um, I don't read a lot of books by dudes?
Oh well, that's the best we're getting today!
Peace and cookies,
Laina
