Given that this is a work of fiction, I don't see why there is a need for a bibliography.Sinclairess wrote: ↑22 Jun 2019, 13:01 After reading the book I couldn't help but to poke around the bibliography. I did not expect to find articles on the drone landing, Plan B, and the abortion pill. Did you find the articles useful? Why do you think the author chose to use these articles specifically? What articles would you use, if any?

I agree with your sentiments that while its not necessary to include them, they are a valuable asset.I don't mind reading books where that has been added.Lunastella wrote: ↑24 Jun 2019, 11:39 I haven't finished the novel, and I don't think it's essential to include these resources in a novel whose purpose is entertainment, but it's a very valuable asset. I talked a bit with the author and she mentioned how important women's health issues were for her, so I'm sure that's why she took the time to include such resources. They could be helpful...We don't know what each person whos reading the book is going through. Or maybe some people just want to learn more.

Yes, I completely agree with you. It depends on the reader and what they're looking for in the book. Not everyone will bother with the resources but they're there for those who want to learn more.Lunastella wrote: ↑24 Jun 2019, 11:39 I haven't finished the novel, and I don't think it's essential to include these resources in a novel whose purpose is entertainment, but it's a very valuable asset.

Well, to me, those articles are helpful. People do need tips for good health, and I think the author used those articles to add some bit of useful information to her book.Sinclairess wrote: ↑22 Jun 2019, 13:01 After reading the book I couldn't help but to poke around the bibliography.

I think these resources would be immensely more valuable if she had USED the research in the text; except for some pat and very childlike explanations (This pill makes you not have a baby!) the resources didn't seem to be used at all, and as a reader I felt as if the writer didn't fully know how to explain what she was using in her story and defaulted to the simplest explanation that she knew how.

I agree. I would not have read anything additional. However, it was nice on the author's part to include the references.cornelia_SD wrote: ↑12 Jul 2019, 09:51 Some may appreciate the added information while others may not even bother to read it because of various reasons. But on the writer's side, I think it was thoughtful to include informative articles that may help the readers.
