Can we normalize putting summaries on the back of books again instead of reviews? I just genuinely want to know what the book is about before picking it up.

the self censorship of words is so dystopian & straight out of 1984 that it makes me nauseous. stop censoring urself for an algorithm that may or may not flag u. dont undercut our language & devalue what u say & mean I cannot stress this enough.
We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps:

- It’s ‘a lot,’ not ‘alot.’
- It’s ‘further ado,’ not ‘farther adieu.’
- It’s ‘flesh out,’ not ‘flush out.’
- It’s ‘sneak peek,’ not ‘sneak peak.’
