These all look good! I can't wait to read some of them.
Lauren Hough went on a twitter tirade against GR users who dared to give her book only 4 stars. Yikes, no thank you.
Stargazer by Anne Hillerman and Dial A for Aunties by Jesse Q. Sutanto.

imagine judging a book by what the author did or didn't do, and not the content of the book LOL
No men or PoC on this list. pretty problematic tbh

GR ought to at least ping Audible and Amazon to look at preorders since Amazon owns all three. Looking at comments, it appears women vastly outnumber men on GR, which I couldn't care less about, but it skews all the list/recommendations because they only use GR data.

Its true! Women read more than men, but it seems that the gender ratio of authors is roughly equal, yet Goodreads seems to be massively driving female-penned books, and asides from that, fiction and non-fiction very overtly liberally minded. Some sort of 'historical compensation' isn't a valid excuse we need some real equality these days!!!

B. R. wrote: "imagine judging a book by what the author did or didn't do, and not the content of the book LOL"I'm not judging the book because I haven't read it, and the author's behavior has ensured that I won't.
B. R. wrote: "imagine judging a book by what the author did or didn't do, and not the content of the book LOL"go take a look at the content of her tweets and let me know if you want to support an author like that. yeah, thats what i thought.

Exactly. She doesn't seem like a pleasant person in general.

INDEED!
B. R. wrote: "imagine judging a book by what the author did or didn't do, and not the content of the book LOL"imagine giving an author your time to read their book after they make a bunch of distasteful comments on social media LOL
