Booktubers really do the most for views. Reading is supposed to be fun! If you're not enjoying yourself then stop!
I'd rather write the dissertation. I could easily cite 50 books in my writing but not have to fully read them all and I express myself better on paper.
To be fair, LL is usually pronounced like Y in Spanish, so if she's not familiar with the author, maybe that's what she was going for. Sometimes names are tricky, but of course she could always double check it before making a video...Watching Noelle's latest TBR and every time she mispronounces something or calls a play a novel I feel like taking a shotI'm sorry, it might be snobbish and nitpicky, but the English major in me cried a little when she pronounced Don DeLillo as "Do DeLeo".
There's a lot of performative activism from white booktubers/booktokers, so that doesn't surprise me
Yeah there’s no way she has any clue what she read. She’s definitely admitted to skim reading before and if it’s audiobooks then there’s no way she’s been able to listen properly. Someone prefers to brag about numbers than actually enjoying reading.

I think it was on Monday. I can't find the thread now but I'll have a hunt. It's definitely one of those ones where I rolled my eyes slightly.
Apparently him saying he was never taught about it in school = exploiting residential schools
I'm having to "not interested" so many tiktoks of people "calling him out"

Tbh if we're cancelling him for saying he was inspired by real life events, we have to cancel everyone who has ever used an event from historyDidn't find the original tweet, but more importantly I found the article which they are using to call him out. Much better for making your own judgement as it's the full thing.
The Big Idea: TJ Klune
In the writing of The House in the Cerulean Sea, author TJ Klune looked a little history north of our border — and current events right here in the US — to inform his world of magic, an…
I just looked into this some more, and I'm shocked... I guess anyone who writes about a situation they themselves haven't been through should be cancelled? if the whole 'i don't like that he made a serious historical topic into a fantasy book' criticism was meaningful, i think about 90% of the genre would have to disappear
