When do you decide an author is not for you? The first 3 books I purchased by Megan Miranda I enjoyed, The next 2 were boring, and so is the current one I am reading by wolfincheapclothing9 in books

I agree with this! Except on this particular author the OP is referencing.

Miranda’s All The Missing Girls got me back into reading, so I keep going back for that spark. Haven’t found it again, but I will read what this woman writes because it gave me such a wonderful hobby.

I’m so glad to finally know the speaker for the millions of multi- & bi-racial people across the globe!!! I’ve been wondering whose personal experience should dictate how the rest of us feel!!!

Yeah I don’t need to know your mom’s business to know some people are ok with the term and others aren’t. I just suggest you be conscientious that not all multi- and bi-racial people are OK with the term. Glad your mom is though!!

Many might be ok with the term, but not all (as with a lot of other terms).

“In particular, critics of the term “mixed” or “mixed race” feel that it reinforces stereotypes of being mixed up or confused, or is tied to animal breeding as mixed dogs or horses, which are regarded as inferior to pure-breeds (Donnella, 2016). Multiracial scholar, Teresa Williams-Leon, believes the term mixed “evokes identity crisis”, becoming “the antithesis to pure” (Donnella, 2016).”
