Bookish Musings: My Reader Confessions and Unpopular Opinions

I know the world has had enough "hot takes" to last a lifetime, but don't worry, I think these are all pretty benign confessions. Mostly just things I've seen readers talk about a lot or express a lot of love for that I don't quite feel the same way about. A post full of things that will make you all judge me!
