“Allowing a single platform to take over the publishing industry does a real disservice to authors, readers, and the art of books generally.“ THIS exactly. Thanks for putting all of my worries about the impact of BookTok on the publishing industry into such clear and concise words! One of my favorite examples of a really quiet book that I LOVED is French Braid by Anne Tyler. I always describe it as a book where nothing really happens but I couldn’t stop reading anyway.

Yes! Anne Tyler is among my favorite quiet authors.
