There can't possibly be that many TERRIBLE books in the world can there? <BR/><BR/>A couple of years ago I picked up a book at the store that was a romantic comedy and by an author I have not read yet - I picked up two of her books. Bantam Books - they can't disapoint me, can they? They sure as hell can! But on the bright side, after reading the first book and getting half way through the second before calling it quits... I decided that I could write better shit than that! So that's what got me started. :)<BR/><BR/>Here's the kicker... I went to see what review it got from Romantic Times Book Review and it got a 4! A friggin' 4!!! I almost fell on my ass! I don't know who I was more disapointed in, Bantam for publishing such garbage or for someone from RTBR giving it a 4! :) I feel your pain... and love #16 on your 50 booklist! :)Vickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11164017884028180922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28243793.post-72252003050279288362007-03-20T18:31:00.000-04:002007-03-20T18:31:00.000-04:00Argh, it sounds awful!
