Here are five things I would like to change, both about my own habits, as well as trends i see in the reading community.

I think on the whole, things like Booktube/Gram/Tok have been positive for readers. Afterall, it's a space where you can discover new books, connect with other people who like the same kinds of books as you, and it's been awesome for indie writers and publishers to get their books seen by larger audiences....

But if we're being honest, it's not ALL positive. So with that in mind, here are some trends I'd like to see go away. Make sure to add your own down below.
