Hey hey! I knooow, another video but the discussion has been LIVELY to say the least on threads and tiktok, so I thought I'd weigh in again. Also, making it clear that I've read a lot of the discussions around these books, seen the marketing from publishers and the authors and won't be promoting those books on my channel. Let me know your thoughts, keep it cute and respectful.
Thanks for watching!
