You know I am a BIG supporter of cozies….it’s over half my TBR queue. But a cozie readathon seems like a bit of an oxymoron. We’ve been bombarded by cancellations of series by publishers running from the big bad eBook. Publishers aren’t in the business for anything more than the bottom line on a financial printout and people just aren’t buying anything these days…with the exception of Pokemon Go…and paranormal “whateveritisthisweek”. And, inventing new genres just muddies the whole kettle of corn….Choclit? NewAdult? WhatNext……
So, I support books. I read 250+ a year. At 59.6 years old with above average intelligence, my disabilities give me the joy of reading for a living. If this readathon saves the genre by bringing it forward in people’s minds…great… As for me, I’m going back to Michaelangelo’s Ghost….
