And I think, you know, I would have, it's a very difficult question.
I don't know why I brought this up.
I think it's not my job to sort of police anything.
the world of who writes books.
It's the publishers to do that.
And the publishers have a duty to not only sell books and get books out that children want to read, but also to develop new talent that's unheard.
So I hope that's their job to juggle those two things.
you know chucking a story out in two hours it's like it's really hard months of work yeah yeah and everyone we've ever spoken to who does it loved reading so much as a child that they've never ever forgotten how much those books meant to them I think that's probably why I like writing for this group as well because it was the that was the age that I just discovered books and loved them and you want to go back to that feeling yeah and you want to write the kind of books you think you would have loved as a child as well you know
because there are so many books out there yes and i think the other thing is that children don't necessarily understand intuitive intuitively is that you don't have to like all books yeah you know i think books are like people some you just instantly get on with you want to be their best mate others you just find you just they're just not for you yeah um and that's okay yeah and that's what i know that's what i always say to my daughter when she's she will reject everything on principle
Didn't like them.
I hated it, both of us.
It's really not good, I think.
I mean, obviously the characters are amazing, and they've endured, and the setup is incredible.
It's just a work of genius, that setup.
But the actual style, the writing, oh, I didn't like it at all, but that's okay.
And you go, you know, you don't have to like all books.
And you're also trying to find your authors that you enjoy,
Audiobooks.
I don't actually.
What?
