hey bookblr people is bookblr dead? I see only aesthetic images (most of which are old or stolen from pinterest) and not much discussion of literature. I do see discussion of literature on tumblr in general but it's usually not tagged as bookblr.
hey everyone "I" have something to show "you"
HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WORKERS DAY
Me when I read a book by a famous author that’s a modern classic and everyone says it’s really good and then it’s really good
There was recently a copyright infringement case in YA and I need everyone to know that the following sentence was in the legal decision:
“Hot, sexy, dangerous boys, central to virtually all young adult romance novels, cannot be copyrighted.”
“Regarding setting, the court held that both works taking place in Alaska high schools was not protectable because Alaska is a public place and setting a teen novel in a high school is a common genre convention.”
Freeman v. Deebs-Elkenaney | Loeb & Loeb LLP
I've read the entire decision (skimming over the purely legal precedent/definitions bit) and here are some of my favorite bits:

When most people say they're in a reading slump they either mean:
a) they're depressed and they're in an everything slump, reading included. They cannot focus for more than a few paragraphs lest the ennui creep up.
b) they're actually in a really good place in their life and are focusing their attention on other things like family, friends, their career, or their other hobbies.
In the first case you can not solve it by just forcing yourself to read. In the second case you needn't be worried about reading right now and should enjoy the rest of your life.
you have a disgusting storytelling addiction
It’s true. It goes back a long way, too. It all started when…
being a lifelong reader has taught me not to romanticise literature tbh. it is useful according to how you choose to engage with it; context makes a book radical or not, controversial or not, and shades in between, it depends a lot on the caprice of culture & society
It really is like this dawg I could stalk an entire author’s account and not find shit about it unless it has an Amazon or Goodreads page
amen
me: does this fantasy setting have no misogyny or does it just have women in the warrior class
they: i dont understand
me: *explains in detail the difference between a fantasy setting w no misogyny n a fantasy setting where the creator just added women to the warrior class n put no further thought into it whatsoever*
they: *laugh* its a good fantasy setting, sir
me: *looks inside* *they just added women to the warrior class*
wlw omegaverse where the anatomy is based on hyenas instead of wolves.
I'm not gonna write this but some erotica author will eventually.
imo the pov character should be lying to themselves and concealing shit from themselves constantly
interrupting others who might say something revealing or important, thinking around things, using words like “didn’t” or “doesn’t” or “imagines” to describe actions not taken or half taken, dreaming things and never talking about them or thinking about them during waking hours, lying to people, hiding true feelings, sitting in shadow or low light to keep any accidental flicker of emotion hidden, writing in obtuse ways that doesn’t let the reader know what they’re thinking or planning, avoiding adverbs in tense moments, describing actions in straightforward and almost clinical ways sometimes, hiding the truth from the character and the reader even though you both know or suspect but there is just enough space there to fill with doubt
can we meet up
