Can I, as a reader, submit a "Bug Report" for a novel?

Question

I just finished a new release.I encountered a passage in the book that doesn't quite make sense.Just a single sentence that is out of place.Grammatically it is fine, but in context it doesn't seem like it fits there.I believe it may be a left-over from when a draft was being revised.The extra detail would have fit in to a slightly different piece of plot than is in the book. It feels like it is a left-over reference to that plot point that was not edited out, when the rest was replaced.**Can I/Should I contact the author/publisher and ask if that section is meant to be there?**Perhaps I should post on their forum and ask about it.If this was software I would file a bug report.Fiction books don't have bug reports.Though I have seen them for nonfiction.

Answer 1

Tempie, you are absolutely welcome to report the anomaly to the author/publisher. They may not change it, but at least you noted it as a reader.
