The Summer of Firsts and Lasts | 
I‘m curious where this statistic comes from. Who tracks this information? It seems like more than 50% these days. I do sometimes avoid getting a book if it‘s in first person. Yes yes I do.
swynn Me too! It feels like there is more and more first person narrative, and that most of it is either a gimmick to encourage the reader to identify with a certain character, or else the author's heavy-handed self-insertion. It's becoming a pet peeve and I'm baffled that it's apparently so popular. 4d
Kristy_K Interesting stat but also curious where it comes from. I track book POV for what I read and don‘t pre-choose books one way or the other and it‘s about 75% 1st person. I feel it‘s depends some on the genre. 4d
