This AI madness is a perfect example of why the bookish community is so important. These PBSGs are clearly made with intention, attention to detail and an understanding of human nature. Not this fake impersonal nonsense
“While they’re all books I enjoyed, they’re curated with you in mind” - this! This is what I love about it. Even compared to other, hopefully human-vetted summer reading lists like Lit Hub might have, this makes the PSRG unique. Your taste + audience in mind. I find so many publications’ lists are just devoid of a discernible POV/particular taste. (And for good reason, of course, but it makes me love the PSRG all the more!)
How frustrating and infuriating to spend so much time and effort to curate the PBSG, only to have phony ones circulating in newspapers to unsuspecting readers.
I am so excited that I took the first week of June off from work to read some books from your guide. I'm looking forward to your work, Sara, and I genuinely appreciate it.
I'm just genuinely so excited for the guide! I love a lot of dark lit, so this is the only time I really feel called to read outside of that, and it always puts me in a good mood
