I was going to read it.... until J3nif3r @rm!ntr0ut started to review it. Now I don't think I will have the strength. J3n's to chapter 13 and so far her recap has been nothing but ridicule. The guy's a dick and the girl hates everything and is using her "best friend" for cheap rent. Classy.It's "50 Shades of Grey". Just read chapter one, I'm not crazy about the love interest.

Monsoon Monday in NYC. I had to buy new socks. My sneakers are soaked. Luckily, I have dress shoes in the office.

Morning, Pit.
Like Amarie, I read the first chapter of FSoG online and my eyes were bleeding just from that. A friend of my friend (L) told L how awesome FSoG was, and L asked me if I knew about it. I told her, based on what I read, the prose in FSoG makes S M3y3r's prose read like Shakespeare. L, who actually enjoyed Tw1l1ght, was appropriately horrified.
I'm having a "why not my crap?" day. Always happens when see I see that the agent lady sold another client's book. Yay for her and client, but when's my turn?
Also, I discovered this morning that supposedly a package was delivered to me on Saturday. Only no one delivered a package. The postal service, however, seems to think they did. Not happy.
Damn, I'm having a pittish Monday.
This is the Jen!f3r @rm!ntr0ut that writes urban fantasy, not the YA. She said that she is doing the chapter by chapter because the book filled her with so much rage that had to or she was going to murder something. If you are at all curious about her posts, this one explains why she is doing the play-by-play (which is funny) and this one laying out point by point that @n@ is in an abusive relationship with, like evidence to support her claim (not funny but important to read).I'm surprised she would do that. We're all entitled to our own opinions, but they are peers and she's been subjected to similar reviews and criticism.
There are two authors with the same name, except for a one letter difference. One has an e, and one has an i. Apparently, the innocent one is getting bashed on G00dR3ads and people are deleting her books. I think she writes YA.
Is her peer the one that is actually doing the chapter-by-chapter? Or is it the other one?
Exactly.Yeah, it is a strange feeling because there are mixed emotions involved. I had that recently as well. You sort of feel left behind.
Uh, so I just got the news that HMH went under: http://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/...40-houghton-mifflin-files-for-bankruptcy.html

Very interesting points in the second one, for guys to learn about ourselves as well as women to be wary of. Thank you for that.This is the Jen!f3r @rm!ntr0ut that writes urban fantasy, not the YA.
