Genre of the Month: (Not Really): Themes and Messages

Hello, Friends!

How are you this lovely day?

We are switching the topic for this category slightly, because, well, there are only so many genres and if we repeat them it gets kind of, well, boring.

So, instead, we are going to talk about themes and messages. I don't know if this will be every time there's a post in this category, or if this is just once. . . we'll see.

Anyways, we've all read books that have themes or messages in them. In fact, it's rare to find a book without a theme.

However, why do books have themes (and messages)? What purpose do they serve?

Think of books you've read with particularly strong themes, or not-so-strong themes, and think about this question. What do you think?
