LibrarianRyan I am curious for your group. What do you think about the Nora Roberts incident and how it ripped Adeyemi's book deal apart. There is still no sign of book 3, after book two didn't sell as well. Maybe/probably because of the Nora Roberts thing? 2w
KateReadsYA @LibrarianRyan I'm not sure what incident played out, I'll have to look into it. 2w
KateReadsYA @LibrarianRyan ugh I just read up on it and it's all unfortunate. I'm not that big into social media as I don't like to see a lot of negativity but I do hope they work their problems out in a healthy way! 2w
