Reading is Political

 


This was originally posted on my Instagram but I thought it was important to include it here

Trust me, I would love it if this could be an “agree to disagree” situation but it isn't. This is a matter of basic human rights, literally life or death. I am terrified of who is now in a position of power again in this country. You “can’t handle a woman president” grow up. It is 2024, the world needs to be past this. I REFUSE to go back. It is not something to sit down and take. Stay loud my friends, refuse to be ignored. Reading is polticial. Full stop. Who you support and what you read is political. Banning books is political. So yes, this is incredibly relevant to my platform. The censorship needs to stop. All people deserve to see themselves represented in literature. I am going to feel pure rage and grief. I may not fully be a woman, but the feminine rage is strong. I am scared for women, children, LGBTQ+ people, BIPOC individuals, union workers, teachers, people with disabilities, and so many more marginalized groups that are now in danger. Please know that I love you and will send all of the support I possibly can at this time. We will get through this, please don’t stop fighting. We are allowed to feel all the feelings. We are mourning. It’s okay to not be okay. If you support someone who doesn’t value everyone, please get off my page. I am a safe space and your viewpoint is not. You voted for racism, homophobia, sexism, etc. I do not respect that choice.

The Something Smutty Book Club by Erin FitzGerald Review

 

* This review is spoiler-free *

5/5 ⭐

Tropes

➮ Silly novella

➮ Found family

➮ HEA


Synopsis

The last thing anyone should have allowed Mathilda Cooper to do was start a book club. The town's librarian and notorious man fiend has made it her mission in life to find the smuttiest, filthiest books in print and the women attending are starting to wonder if it's entirely for shock value.

Every other Wednesday night, the women in the small community of the Wolf Mountain Ranchers meet to talk books--and listen to Mathilda run her mouth. Catch up with Emily, Genesis, Lana, Ashley, Jenna, Clara, Talia, and Morgan in this fun collection of Wednesday night revelations.


My Thoughts

This novella was just a further reminder of how in love I am with these characters and this series as a whole. While I am very sad to see it go, I am also so happy with how it was wrapped up. It truly did such an amazing job at helping the plotlines of the main characters and background characters feel settled. While I will always be down for more of this series, I am also quite happy with this as the series conclusion.

This was such a perfectly silly goofy good time seeing everyone in the town come together. I really applaud Erin for creating character relationships in a small town that are genuinely interwoven but didn't end up where every character somehow automatically knew every other character just because they are from the same area. I really can see all of these ladies having a fun time in a book club together and most of their men reaping the benefits of their reading materials content.

This paragraph is to Erin and only Erin, everyone else can scroll past. Erin, babes you did it again! You absolutely knocked it out of the park. I am always amazed at how I love your writing more and more with every single book. I would give this more than 5 stars if possible honestly.  Thank you for blessing us with such beautiful characters! You know I am a ride-or-die for your writing and will shout from the rooftops about how everyone needs to experience the magic in your stories. 

You absolutely need to read the rest of the series before picking this one up but when you do it will be so worth it. It truly felt like coming home and being wrapped in a warm hug. Even one page in, there were no punches pulled with the silliness. Coop will always be Coop (iykyk). So many moments in this book pulled at my heartstrings to see everyone growing older and settling into their lives. 

If it wasn't obvious from the title, this book does contain spicy content. If you aren't into that sort of thing this book isn't for you. 

I received this book as an arc from the author. My review is honest and voluntary
