Sugar by Mia Ballard. Highly recommended. Can’t WAIT to read her new book, Shy Girl.

So lucky my local library had #ShyGirl by #MiaBallard because it's currently being resold for £££ due to the #ShyGirlControversy.

Gotta read banned/cancelled books! Genuinely curious about this one's quality.

Now to turn off my notifications before the haters find out 😁

Apparently #goodreads is censoring reviews of the book #shygirl by #miaballard. So here is my #review. It's better than "Sugar" but still a pretty bad book. 2/5 woofs. #booksky💙📚 #book #books #bookreview

We’ve officially entered the AI Hysterics era all vibes. Accusing authors of… using LLMs based on a whole lot of “trust me, bro.” The result? Racist/misogynist attacks against a black author with no proof. AI hysteria SUCKS. #AIHysterics #MiaBallard #ShyGirl #TrustMeBroDetection #StopTheWitchHunt

sci-fi novel idea: #MiaBallard uses AI to invent a time machine; takes Girl Shy back to 1924 where she pitches it to Fred C. Newmeyer and Sam Taylor. They make a few key changes and a start is born in #HaroldLloyd.

Embarrassed for the publisher and everyone who plugged this book or author. I can spot #AI from miles away and evidently plenty of readers called it. If you’re not checking books before you buy them WTF are you doing? #ShyGirl #horror #horrorsky #books #MiaBallard

Compared to the test samples #1 and #2, JustDone and ZeroGPT are consistently showing use of AI when this is impossible.
