I've been busy preparing for my advent calendar of books - my plan is to post about a book (a work of fiction, written by a woman, mostly published in the past 24 months) each day in the 24 days leading up to Christmas. Now I'd like to ask for your help: I need an appropriate hashtag to include in all these posts. I have some suggestions... Which of them do you like most? #amreading #bookstodon

The other thing I've been thinking about is CWs/CNs. I don't want to give too much of the content of each book away, but I want to give people a heads up when there are *graphic descriptions* of certain trigger topics. I thought of the following CWs:

• violence/abuse (psychological and physical, sexual or otherwise)
• rape
• death
• animal cruelty
• self-harm/suicide
• addiction

Is that sufficient or is there anything else I should absolutely include?

@mimrma Ich würde noch Rassistische Sprache oder Formulierungen und Sexistische Sprache / Formulierungen gut finden.
@Tinido Das hab ich auch schon überlegt- zuerst wollte ich das unter "violence" aufnehmen, aber bei manchen Sachen macht es sicher Sinn, sie extra auszuweisen.
@mimrma Ich komm drauf, weil ich gerade einige ältere Literatur wieder lese, wo plötzlich das N-Wort oder sexistische Begriffe aufploppen, weil man das halt "damals" so gemacht hat, was einem heute völlig bizarr vorkommt.
@Tinido Ah, ja, verstehe. Das sollte hier weniger vorkommen, weil ca. 2/3 der Bücher aus 2022 und 2023 sind, der Rest ab so ca. 2018. Also alles relativ frisch. :)

@mimrma

Vielleicht noch sowas wie Rassismus, Queerfeindlichkeit, Ableismus, da wo ws vorkommt.
Das muss sich ja nicht immer in Gewalt/Abuse ausdrücken.

(I'm excited that my secret fave is at the top right now, hope it stays that way until the poll closes 🤞)
I got what I was secretly hoping for: a public vote that confirmed my fave! So this advent, look out for the hashtag #24books if you are interested in #books #literature #reading #lit #bookstodon #womenwriter|s. Looking forward to present you my very best reads of 2023!
