I mean, a few years ago we believed in fairies and that Hannah Montana was a real person... okay, so many longer than a few years ago, but still.) They described it as "sexy" and that they'd want a guy like the male lead, which terrified me.rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472552752365062115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4887335526723967972.post-7902923751359933932012-11-10T17:42:53.787-08:002012-11-10T17:42:53.787-08:00Ha!

(Don't want to give her the wrong idea.)<br /><br />Tara, thank you. I agree. Too many quality books out there. No time for trash.<br /><br />Christine, you too. Thanks.<br /><br />Dawn, yes, you provided some fuel for this post. I thank you for that.<br /><br />Al, you'd be surprised at how little effort it takes for a gal to sit erect. We don't even need a dirty magazine.<br /><br />Lexa, I fully agree and never watched Twilight. Puh-lease! So glad to make you laugh.<br /><br />Betty, thank you.

It's the fault of a very, very gullible, shallow, and stupid public. If they want to read badly-written trash, I guess it's their right. But I'll never get published if you have to write junk in order to appeal to the masses. (I hate Twilight, too. I mean, vamp has his pick of high school girls for years and years and yet falls in love with a needy, little Mary Sue? Puh-lease.)<br /><br />But the important thing is your post was really funny, and I enjoyed it! :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735576044552810103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4887335526723967972.post-34747818941504863272012-11-09T18:50:32.608-08:002012-11-09T18:50:32.608-08:00"Erika sits erect"?

As you say, there are plenty of other books like it and this one is written terribly. I just don't get it. No wonder it came from the Twilight universe.
