Still waiting for a round of new books that isn't just a bunch of illustrated sermons on social justice issues.

Jade wrote: "Still waiting for a round of new books that isn't just a bunch of illustrated sermons on social justice issues."Probably means you need to read more books about social justice issues.

Amen!
I just found out that Andy Weir is coming out with a new book this year! Super excited about that!

I second that!

Or perhaps that is all we have been reading and we, quite simply, are ready for something new. Not every book claiming to be about social justice is that great, well written and certainly not well researched. It's just more blah blah blah. Maybe some of you need to be less judgemental and more discerning. Or is that just me being "unapologetically me?"
Jade wrote: "Still waiting for a round of new books that isn't just a bunch of illustrated sermons on social justice issues."yes, god forbid you should actually learn something about social justice.
Ok none of them seem at least a little bit appealing... Hard pass Goodreads sorry.
i'm very excited for concrete rose!! :)
"Historical fiction, British literature, World War II stories, multiple timelines, mysteries that span several generations"So envious of people who love this genre and get 500,000,000,000 books that are basically all the same, they never run out of content.

Completely agree with this!

Jade wrote: "Still waiting for a round of new books that isn't just a bunch of illustrated sermons on social justice issues."Couldn’t agree more!

Well since Amazon owns GR, probably not long
I finished Yellow Wife today and I cannot speak highly enough about this book. It is beautifully written and well researched.
Jade wrote: "Still waiting for a round of new books that isn't just a bunch of illustrated sermons on social justice issues."I'm not interested either. None of those sound interesting to me.
