It's mostly single POV with a few other perspectives trickled in here and there. 😊

😂😂😂😂 that's amazing. Some poems are going to resonate and others are just going to be fancy words... haha

Is that a good or bad thing? 😅

@@thePMreader I really like the Skyward books , so for me a good thing 😃

I really liked the first 2 but book 3 fell flat for me. So I'm worried about picking up the last one. 😬

I read all of them except skyward flight. (But in a different language)

I have that one on my TBR too.

I read Last Night in Montreal and I thought it was good but it confused me a lot.

Have you read it???

Omgosh yes! The last few years have been exhausting and trying to figure things out and get into a place I can settle in/make a new normal is difficult. I’ve been considering being more active but the idea of doing it is scary. I think I’d prefer lighter exercise with more movement like walls, jogs, yoga, maybe skating. The gym just doesn’t seem enjoyable for me Cava sounds so good right now!!

I'm glad that it's improving your mental health!! That's truly the end goal, to feel better mentally. 🩵

are you related to joe biden?

@@skelemon5975 no my name is just a joke

I don't think I understand your use of the word immune here. Are you saying that Brandon Sanderson is the only white author who has been allowed to write characters of color without anyone questioning it? If that's what you're saying, I don't think Brandon Sanderson is "immune" and that his writing should always be questioned but I do think he consults with various teams while writing books to assure he's not doing groups of people any harm by his portrayal of them. He's not perfect though, so his representation could be lacking in many areas. My questions back for conversation purposes only are: should authors only write characters that match their own race and ethnicity? Should they only use characters of color as side characters or write them out of the story entirely to not have their writing questioned? Doesn't it do more of disservice to readers of color to only see themselves as side characters? Or not in the story at all? What is the best way, if any, for a white author to have diverse characters in their stories?

I do think it is problematic to consistently write main characters that are not white when you are white, yes. Side characters that are not white are fine and needed I agree. I also think there are many many books written by BIPOC authors that we can read and should be reading as they are writing their own experiences. I guess it just comes down to personal preference. I am white but I find non white author's stories to be more enjoyable to read. Those are the voices I'm choosing to spend my reading on a lot of the time. I think generally I try to avoid white male authors because I don't find I enjoy the writing (re: men writing women). Thank you for answering honestly.
