- You must be fun at parties. And i mean it. I’d love to have you as a dinner guest.
- I am not familiar with the slob.
- I like horror. It’s one of my favourite genres. The Haunting of Hill House is my favourite - although is that horror…? And I like anything with Catholicism and possession and general demonology, even though I am not anywhere close to Catholic. Gore - I can stomach but it doesn’t tickle me.
- I love murder mysteries / twisty thrillers the way you love horror. Even with those, gore is meh for me. I’m there for mystery and the reveal.

I don’t think writers should be censored, just saying I wouldn’t read certain books with certain subject matter. No matter how good it is.
The Kite Runner is my example because I know it deserves all the accolades. For me, though, it just was the moment that I realised I couldn’t bring myself to read certain types of books because they’re just too triggering.

As long as no one is shoving anything down anyone’s throats, it’s fine. Once that stops, they can take a long walk off a short cliff for all I care.

It’s misdirected frustration.
It’s a bit much that her books are so popular when they’re such drivel - but that’s a societal issue not a CoHo issue. There are plenty of books I’ve read that were way worse than Verity, but what ground my gears a bit was how HYPED it was.
Also, some of her stans can be very stanny.

TJ Klune captures the warm energy of the first three books. But it’s for adults.
