  4. This is such a wonderful concept – I am looking forward to reading all the posts! Stiefvater and Maas are definitely problematic, no matter how much I adore their work. I think there will be some really valuable discussion here!

    1. I really look forward to reading the posts ❤️ And yes, there’s definitely issues with a lot of YA books because of the tropes inherent in them, though I love the genre.

  5. Hey! I’m sorry for having to ask you to do this – but if you can’t, that’s absolutely fine. Can you change my topic to ‘Unrealistic character shifts in the ACOTAR books’? Actually, while filling the sign-up form, I didn’t understand that criteria and thus entered something else into it. Now, reading everyone else’s discussion topics, I finally get it 😛

    Also, thank you so much for organizing this! It’s absolutely amazing 🙂

  6. This is one of the best events/thing ever! Yes please do update this list as you go along because I want to read these all ASAP. YOU BETTER UPDATE THIS OR I WILL TRACK YOU DOWN.

    But seriously. Such a great idea. I would have had a post, but I think I have written everything I wanted to in the past. And I have nothing new to talk about hahah.

  8. I totally forgot sign ups closed at the end of September. But I’m very excited to post my posts anyways (yes, 2, because I couldn’t decide!) and link them down here. I’m very excited for Toxic Romances (and all the troubling romance posts) and Queerbaiting. Also the taming of the bad boy would be an interesting read!
