I'm so excited for this readathon!! Just wanted to give a warning about Betty, though. I had to read it when I interned at a talent management company and it is BRUTAL. People should definitely read trigger warnings before reading (some include rape, incest, an extremely graphic animal abuse scene). Not saying people shouldn't read it because it was actually quite beautifully written at times and just because a book tackles tough/taboo subjects doesn't mean it shouldn't be read, but thought I would just point out that it's not going to be for everyone. I wouldn't have finished it if it hadn't been a work assignment.

I do have some confusion though, on the StoryGraph some of the meanings seem a bit different (like the short read then being called a not needy read with almost 500pg books being listed) and for a book before the 90s does that also mean written before? Because it says “takes place or is set in” and that seems like the same thing :/ I hope this doesn’t sound rude😅just got confused on some parts. Again, I’m super looking forward to this and I think the way y’all have put this together is brilliant and really fun!
@allisonpaiges
2 жыл бұрын
it’s possible that people added books to their own storygraph that don’t perfectly fit. for clarification: the cacti space is indeed for a short read OR anthology. (anthologies are collection of short stories but can be 500 pages) as for written or set before the 90s - my book was written in 2020 but takes place in the 1950s so that’s how it’s possible to not be taking place in and also written before 1990. not rude at all! thank you for questions. i’m sure others were also wondering similar things. ☺️
