I hate the shame in the reading community. Like, have I read War and Peace? Yes. Am I currently reading the second Lights Out book? Also yes. You can like dark romance and also have range, okay?

It’s the dumbest thing ever. Like I have an English MA but because I also enjoy spicy romance I’m suddenly contributing to the literacy crisis? Absolutely not. Reading is reading and you benefit from it regardless of genre. I encourage range, but also, when you only have so much time in the day, read what you enjoy. Preferences do not make anyone stupid or addicts. Elitism is exhausting.
