Thread first, followed by the new books/ARCs in the last tweet.
Folks, if you complain to me about my new books/ARCs stacks being one type of author more than others, refer complaints to publishers.

Also, if your complaint tries to shame ME for the books sent to me, unbidden, by publishers, it's not going to have the reaction you want.

The stacks of books I show are literally what arrived in the last few days. Sometimes they are varied in types of author, sometimes not.

I of course encourage publishers to send me books by authors of all sorts. But THEY have to decide to send me things. I can't make them.

Nor do I want to. Posting of stacks of books I do for fun, and to promote authors. It's not my job. I'm not chasing publishers for books.

Tutting me because a particular stack doesn't have the right ratio of authors will annoy me and change nothing re: overall pub diversity.

I am delighted to highlight authors of all sorts in my stacks. Please encourage publishers to send books my way. All my info is on the site.
