@Binati_Sheth | Maybe crying over Isaac Asimov’s The...

Binati Sheth ·

2025/07/14

Click here to reply to @Binati_Sheth "If you are a fan of science fiction, swell. There is one author you have to read. He is called Isaac Asimov. To say that he wrote and he wrote and he wrote would be an understatement because he's one of those people who thought faster than he wrote. So he used to hate the process of compiling the book. The man was brilliant. So again, the thought processes are going in all directions. He used to compile the book and then it used to be published."

Click here to reply to @Binati_Sheth "The team is picking books that are so introspective and books that stay with you for years after you are done reading with them. So you, you get an email from Service 95 that the book of the month is going to be this and then do I interviews the author. It's. It's brilliant. The whole thing is it. And with Service 95, I think you don't get to meet the reader communities. You absolutely have all our recommendations for books this month."

The impulse is to go and see what's up. But see when you go to go and see what's up, what you're doing is you're creating crowds. I have personally volunteered to help provide aid, medical aid.

Click here to reply to @Binati_Sheth "Hello, swell. This is a webinar announcement about layering your stories, which is a fancy way of saying every story is never just one thing. There will be multiple things in a story that work together to give you the wonderful onion, you know, which is the story. It will make you cry, it will stink up the place, it will act as the aromatic element of your food and it will make things delicious, provide texture, do so many things."

New Pet peeve detected: we need consequences

Click here to reply to @Binati_Sheth "People need to suffer a little bit when they have not been nice throughout the book. So mild spoiler warning on Ali Hazelwood's Deep End. If you want to read it, please come back to this one after you've read it. I am talking about Penelope. Obviously. If you've read Deep End, you know this. The entire review section of that book is people just not liking the character arc of this side character because she is so mean throughout the book."

Chasing lil joys

Click here to reply to @Binati_Sheth "But in talking about these things that made me turned literature into passion, which also became profession, reintroduced me to my joy. Like I found my joy and nothing can ruin my mood on account of it. So I think the lesson here is life happens to us all. We get busy, stuff happens and you put joy on a pause. Don't do that. If possible, maybe find like five minutes once a week to do something that brings you a lot of joy."

Common mistake, two different choices

2025/03/13

Click here to reply to @Binati_Sheth "If your intention was to write something hurtful, it shows Lark was intentionally trying to write something hurtful. And obviously people pulled support from that. So this is where I implore you to learn from the mistakes of these authors. Nobody is asking you to not write complex, darker themes into books. It's just that don't make light of the theme. Intent matters, so does the execution of how you frame the entire topic. Okay, happy writing."

Click here to reply to @Binati_Sheth "ARCs or advanced reader Review copies are simple to get, but then it is not that simple. Hello, swell. Something happened in my professional life that made me want to talk about the arcing process because I think not a lot is known about this. In general, when big book releases are planned, we follow this process called arcing, where copies of the book are sent out to get reviews when the book launches."

And then somewhere something like this shows up and absolutely makes your day. So. So yeah, listen, even if it is a neighbor uncle annoying you with their TVs volume, sometimes you can discover an otter is a water cat in some language.

Click here to reply to @Binati_Sheth "And writers, authors like say Gabriel Garcia Marquez, one of, one of the bigger names, the biggest actually in Magical Realism because he won a Nobel for one hundred Years of Solitude. You, you, you can comment on. And he did comment on the civil wars happening around the place and its effect on people. Because see Gabo, Gabriel Garcia Marquez was a journalist before he became a celebrated author. And you can do those non fictiony pieces."

2025/01/21

Click here to reply to @Binati_Sheth "There are references in the book like Al Anon and the Omsford family and the wish, the magic of all of this. All of these would be massive spoilers to other books in the series, so don't want to ruin them for you. So I'm really, really enjoying how layered the world building is, to be honest. So I. I am aspiring to finish book 23 to book 35 by March, but I know I won't be able to do it."

No feminists detected in ACOTAR series by Sarah J Maas

2024/12/24

Click here to reply to @Binati_Sheth "It is deeply conservative behaviors, to be honest, but feminist dialogue and, I mean, yeah, shoot me. Also on the topic of gripes, this is not exactly about feminism, but whatever is happening with the world building within this book, it. It's so inconsistent. And, oh, my God, the writing, it's so repetitive. And as an editor, I ran a few checks. She repeats certain lines again and again and again throughout the books."

Enduring: Wellness by Nathan Hill

Click here to reply to @Binati_Sheth "And I thought it's a satire. And the more I got into the book, I realized, oh, it's. It might be a satire. Doesn't matter whether it is, because what all the dialogue and the monologues and the explanations within the book is trying to do is. It is trying to ask you to define what wellness is to you and why there are all of these weird permissions that we seek in the way we live our life and how there are moments that shape us."

So that is why I shared this quote and the context again, which can be located from clicking on the link in the description. So while you write your non fictions inspired by some quote, some paragraph things of the sort, don't project if you can help it or project as much as you want."

That's what I basically encountered in a book. This book is technically a romance novel and it has a. It's. It's got elements of fantasy in it. So it's not exactly a human romance. It is. There are humans in this universe, of course."

We all have reading preferences and sometimes we pick up books thinking they are about one thing. But then as you read the book you discover oh no, I have been fooled. And you've. I am one of those people. I don't think I've ever DNF'd a book."
