Social media is full of comments on what books are acceptable to read. There are warnings plastered all across online platforms declaring that it is a red flag if someone likes “The Catcher in the Rye” by J.D.

Amazon Prime admittedly makes some questionable movies and original series as all streaming platforms do. However “Book of Love” was a genuinely enjoyable movie and one of the better romance movies to watch for the upcoming holiday. In the era of romance films with questionable quality, “Book of Love” is a standout. The plot of

BookTok’s latest obsession is published “Reylo” fan fiction. Popular fan fiction has been rebranded as original works of published fiction simply by changing the character names.
