Recently, I finished a book that sounded like exactly the kind of book I would love, and watched a movie about which I knew nothing other than it was made by a director whose first film I adored. And in both cases, my expectations didn’t quite line up with my experience.
Everything shapes the way we respond to art. The colours on the book cover. The font choice. The first words. The words on the back cover, which the author didn’t write. The blurbs. The paper. The price of the book. The author’s social media presence. Some of these things can be ignored. Some are part of the process. #ReadingExpectations#Novels#Books#MassMedia#Reading#MassMediaExpectations
