ok fair warning. I only read fluff books. ( these days )
A month ago I read Acheron by Sherrilyn Kenyon. oooh I scoffed at that book. It was horrible. The winning....the martardom, the repetition of characters internal dialogue as if the author couldn't find anything else to say. Talk about the proverbial whipping boy. I think the author was exorcising every masochist fantasy she ever had. I then decided to go with the story I've been longing to read. That is Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. Yes they are young adult books but the author is a very good writer. I didn't read anything cliché....well maybe the last book in the series got that way but I ate them up. Twilight was the best in the series. I then read a book by Susan Wiggs. Another horrible lazy writer. Every cliché you could think of was in that book. I doubt this person ever really had a romantic relationship. I then picked up Rosamunde Pilcher. It's called "Coming Home" I never thought I would ever read one of her books. I always thought they were books old ladies read. [edit- I didn't know the story was infact very british and proper until years after my inital thought about'who might read them'. ( like this month ) I guess I have entered the ranks if spinsterhood. [I then found the book]Very tame and British and proper BUT I must admit she is a fine story teller. I am wondering if I will read the 'Shell Seekers' next. humm Last edited by skysidhe; 05-24-2009 at 11:48 AM. Reason: clarification I hope |
