You can buy candles that have a curve like that, in think it was kind of trendy a while ago (like the twisted candles)Found this on her Pinterest under the category 'My AeStHetic'

books for 5 year olds is ruby preferred literary genre but it doesn’t work because the only people who buy it are her fans. that’s where i think it comes fromI’m aware I am many many years away from my YA days but even so, the book title sounds like something aimed at 5 year olds. Although it wouldn’t be allowed to be titled like that because you’d be wanting to help children learn how to be friends and not categorise in such polarising ways. But isn’t YA fiction for tweens/teens?
but it contains adult topics like parties and relationships! ruby must’ve skipped the hell of it if she really read itHmm...
The main character in the title of Ruby's book, Lottie, has the same name as one of the characters in the book "Am I Normal Yet?", which in the book description is said to be one of the inspirations and is similar in style, meaning Ruby has 100% read this book.
Coincidence much??? I don't think so.

I can't remember exactly but I think I read somewhere that there are often books that come out close to one another with similar titles (eg. The seven husband's of Evelyn Hugo and The seven and a half deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle)Normally just lurk on this thread.
I thought this name/title sounded vaguely familiar. There's a YA writer called Hayley Long who has novels called Lottie Biggs is Not Mad and What's Up With Jody Barton. Could be a coincidence though!
I can't stand the somewhat recent trend of putting the main character's full name in the title (The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, The Death of Vivek Oji, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, and these are only books I've read in the past few months)I can't remember exactly but I think I read somewhere that there are often books that come out close to one another with similar titles (eg. The seven husband's of Evelyn Hugo and The seven and a half deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle)
And the academic title trend: "A, B, C (totally unrelated things) in the making of D". By the time you get to D, you've forgotten about B.I can't stand the somewhat recent trend of putting the main character's full name in the title (The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, The Death of Vivek Oji, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, and these are only books I've read in the past few months)
Along with another insufferable trend, that is titles that go like "the/a X of X and X"
Seriously though! I think if she lowered her target demographic to 4-year olds instead of aiming at YA lit then she'd have a decent story to pitch.The "is a bad friend" part totally sounds to me like a book for toddlers that teaches them to be nice to others and not bully.
Do you recommend any of those? (asking because i'm looking for new books, sorry!)I can't stand the somewhat recent trend of putting the main character's full name in the title (The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, The Death of Vivek Oji, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, and these are only books I've read in the past few months)

The X is always unrelated too. It’s always The Valley of Blood and Storm and it’s a book about being the spy for the queen of some made up place.I can't stand the somewhat recent trend of putting the main character's full name in the title (The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, The Death of Vivek Oji, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, and these are only books I've read in the past few months)

It's so odd to me, Bones is also a Harry Potter surname and is also just much cooler lolShe's going to continue publishing under the surname Granger? It makes sense to keep all of her channels and her book under one alias, but over time lots of influencers refer to themselves under their real names again.
I also wonder if there is any copyright problem with her using the surname Granger when it actively alludes to Hermione Granger. That name is trademarked, as far as I can tell. Sure the surname 'Granger' on its own is not, but she uses/used it to refer to Hermione Granger.
Unique flavours where? All of their loose-leaf teas (never tried their teabags) taste so watered down and when you brew them for longer than the recommended 4 minutes, they just end up tasting bitter.
Plot twist - Lottie is actually Dolly Parton's lost daughter who she gave up to be raised at a boarding school. Lottie has matilda-like powers (but is way more obnoxious and cruel with them and forever reminding people how smart she is). The girl who went missing didn't actually go missing, she ran away to get away from Lottie's Big Brain and 'friendship' that consisted of her forcing her to watch the first Harry Potter film over and over every eveningSeriously though! I think if she lowered her target demographic to 4-year olds instead of aiming at YA lit then she'd have a decent story to pitch.
I hate how the surname 'Parton' instantly brings up Dolly Parton thoughts. Dolly Parton would never be a bad friend, Ruby. Everyone knows this.
Do you recommend any of those? (asking because i'm looking for new books, sorry!)
I also got sick of the trend for titles that went like 'The X's Daughter' - someone once asked why the 'daughter' is always related to the character with the interesting job.
I wonder if Rob even enjoys the later Harry Potter films and books because of the increase in darker themes……which I thought made them betterPlot twist - Lottie is actually Dolly Parton's lost daughter who she gave up to be raised at a boarding school.

The ones I enjoyed the most were Evelyn Hugo and Vivek Oji. Eleanor Oliphant was (completely) fine (lol) but nothing special, and I hated Addie LaRue.Seriously though! I think if she lowered her target demographic to 4-year olds instead of aiming at YA lit then she'd have a decent story to pitch.
