The Up-And-Coming Author Millie Bobby Brown Once Openly Admitted That She Personally Isn’t Fond of Reading

Lately, Millie Bobby Brown [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/millie-bobby-brown/]
has been busy promoting her first book, Nineteen Steps. The romance novel
revolved around an 18-year-old woman, Nellie, who lived in London. Nellie, the
protagonist, worked as a secretary for the mayor of Bethnal Green and fell in
love with a US Air Force pilot. The book promises a cathartic experience that
will ignite a sense of longing and melancholy. The novel is also a love letter
to her grandma, who had a tremendous influence on Brown’s life. 

The 19-year-old author dedicated her first book to her grandmother’s experience
in London during World War II. Amidst the hype surrounding her authorial debut,
an old interview, where Brown denied being an avid reader, sparks a slew of
questions. 


BACK WHEN MILLIE BOBBY BROWN ADDRESSED HER INDIFFERENCE TO BOOKS

Brown, who carries herself as a jack-of-all-trades, made a name for herself in
various domains. From having a successful acting career to becoming the youngest
UNICEF ambassador, the Stranger Things
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/stranger-things/] star rose to prominence at a
very tender age. She even took center stage in the Netflix mystery flick Enola
Holmes, alongside legendary actor Henry Cavill
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/]. While talking about her journey
in Enola Holmes, the actress revealed in a 2020 Apple podcast Skip Intro with
Krista Smith that she has never been an avid reader. 



Directed by Harry Bradbeer, the movie is an adaptation of the popular novel The
Enola Holmes Mysteries. In light of this, the interviewer sought Brown’s opinion
on what drew her to be a part of a book adaptation. To which the now 19-year-old
said that the script was what made her say yes to the film. Expressing her
indifference to books and literature, the actress further went on to say,
“Reading has never been my thing, except for scripts”.

Post her book’s release, Brown also received a lot of hate for indulging in the
culture of ghostwriting. 


BROWN TOOK HEAT FROM HER FANS FOR USING A GHOSTWRITER 

Brown released her book on 12th September, which followed a flood of promotional
posts on her Instagram. Among them, a post where the Godzilla actress shared a
picture with Kathleen McGurl received a lot of attention. Brown captioned the
post saying, “a HUGE thank you to my collaborator”, inviting a ton of criticism
from fans.

Netizens took offense to the fact that the Florence By Mills owner did not give
McGurl her due credit.

They expressed how Brown should have mentioned the ghostwriter’s name on the
cover as well. While Brown is not the first to use a ghostwriter, she definitely
stood apart by revealing her collaborator’s name. And a considerable portion of
fans appreciated Brown’s gesture to publicly acknowledge McGurl’s involvement.
While the internet is divided over Brown’s debut novel, the $14 million actress
is planning to turn the book into a feature film.

Back in 2020 Millie Bobby Brown, the emerging author, revealed in an interview that she is not very fond of reading books.

Hriddhi Maitra is a Hollywood News writer at Netflix Junkie. She skillfully breaks down nuances in stories on polarizing figures Kanye West and Meghan Markle. A Markle moment she covered was when the Duchess faced backlash for wearing Princess Diana’s Cartier watch. Hriddhi connected it to the missing ring controversy with her research skills. When not analyzing news, you will find her lost in the musical world or reviewing the latest movie and series releases on her social media.
