Dear Reader

Not a bookselling site - just a place where I can chat about what I've been reading lately.

overweight but still charming

I'm annoyed that the Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, in their most recent issue, described a character as "overweight but still charming". I know this sounds as though it should have been in the Grouchy Dear Reader section of my blog, but I'm putting it here to make it clear that this isn't just something that annoys me. Reading that phrase should be problematic for any reader, and the Bulletin should be ashamed of themselves for letting this casual fatphobia go to print.
