Waterstone FB, Ickabog

[CallarMorvern]

JK is getting a slating on Waterstones FB page's Ickabog promotion. I've added a positive comment, would others want to do the same.

I know this is not the point of this thread, but I'm just disappointed it isn't out until November. Was just about to buy one for my niece.

Facebook comments are often even more stupid than Twitter. Men like them as they can write massive screeds.

The links to JK's essay have stayed up, so hopefully some of this who are bemused by the activists comments will read the other side of it all.

*those 🤦‍♀️

Twitter here too

Love the comment from Wild woman writing club “The forces of endarkenment are out in force on this thread“

Most of the comments are positive that I can see.

There are far more supportive comments than not. Good to see!

Is that because they can read (more than 280 characters at a time)?

Thanks for the heads up

Need to start my christmas shopping...

That Twitter feed is oddly pleasant! Don't think I've ever read so much positivity anywhere on Twitter. Maybe Waterstones just isn't on their radar?!

It’s a bookshop...

You may have a point😆

@Gingernaut

I noticed that the derogatory comments came from men.

Odd that

If any of you is Kirsty Johnston then well done! You're on top form with your comments
