      @@welshreader, i noticed that you sometimes get rid of books based on someone else’s opinion on whether they enjoyed it or not. why not give it a chance anyway? maybe read a few chapters and judge for yourself. it’s just extremely painful to see someone with so many nice books get rid of them based on someone else’s opinion. it’s just a suggestion, but to each their own i suppose.🤷‍♀️

    I don't keep books simply because they are pretty. I am huge mood reader, and I will grab whatever story appeals to me at the time, not taking into account any covers. Most of my favorite reads are paperbacks from the 80's and 90's, so they aren't that pretty to look at anyways! I understand the appeal of looking at aesthetically pleasing books, but why keep them if you aren't going to read them?

      "Opinions" = Invalidate a group of people for who they are and continue to disrespect, devalue and dehumanize them years later. To which their own I guess, but from where I stand people have more than enough reason to put her books in the trash, for I'm sure she was still the bigot she is nowadays when she wrote Harry Potter 🤷

    Regarding 'Where the Crawdads Sing'
    Tbh I think if you already bought the book and are interested in the story, I would've said to still read it.

    A Winter's Promise is a book that influenced a lot of books that have come out more recently, so having recently read it, I was wondering what the big deal was because nothing in that book was memorable (also there was a really toxic relationship that I couldn't stand behind).

    J.K. Rowling hasn’t said anything wrong?
    Some people just call you homophobic or transphobic because they can’t deal with the fact that your opinion differs from theirs. 🤦🏼‍♀️ People are confused enough nowadays, about their genders or in general, a famous author doesn’t need to add to that.
    But well done on the declutter, it can be so hard to let go, I know whereof I speak, and it’s refreshing to make space on your shelves.

    • @welshreader
      @welshreader  6 місяців тому

      Sorry I don’t understand your comment. I don’t support J K Rowling any more as her views are harmful to a lot of marginalised groups of people. Harry Potter was a massive part of my childhood and teenage years and it’ll continue to have a special place in my heart but I don’t actively promote the books or films any more out of solidarity and respect for the trans community.
      Hope that clears things up👍

    I really don't understand people who are refusing to read a book just because the author did something bad. You said it yourself, you know you'll probably like the book. Why are you unhauling it then? No one is perfect and everyone has done bad things at least once in their lifetime, so if we're going with your logic, you should unhaul every book you own and never buy another one. Do not ruin art with that mindset. I have nothing against you, in fact I love watching your unhaul videos. But that's just bothering me and i wanted to share it.

    • @welshreader
