Revised Score: 0.5 Stars. Sky Fighters and Houndy Crunchers has been suspended...For now, anyway.
NOTE MY DISCLAIMER...This is a revised book review-blog of Adaline Winters' first novel, Seducing Hope. Anybody who's one of the "elite" or who otherwise disagrees with my opinions can go take their harsh, negative backlash elsewhere. Thanks in advance...!
Yeah, this is right...I have put a halt on writing and finishing Sky Fighters and Houndy Crunchers...Possibly indefinitely. Why? Because I cannot personally see any reason to keep on writing such a lengthy book series when almost everyones' lack of interest in it is not only GLARINGLY OBVIOUS but when some of the people who're aware of me and my writing seem to think they can police my opinions on other books without me making a fuss about it!
Well, this is it. I'm not going to quiver in silent fear of elitist backlashers anymore. So, here's a shocking truth for all you haters of me: I decided to read this book because I spoke to the author back when I was trying to establish a fan base here on Goodreads, with a potential to make friends with some of the people I met. And this was AFTER I found out Goodreads had created this author profile page about me of their own volition...Yesh, this is right. I didn't randomly join Goodreads because I thought it would be a great medium for me to showcase my works on. Somebody else took notice of the fact I had written 5 books (Which was in May of 2019, if anyone here cares) and went ahead with putting a profile of me on Goodreads...Without my knowledge or consent, mind you!
And because I didn't want my secret, volunteer-editor(s) to write up whatever impressions they thought of me on the profile page they made of me, I claimed it as my own because Goodreads gave me the option to do so. This meant I could make edits to it as I saw fit. Plus, I could include a list of books I've read and add in more which I wanted to read in the future. I could also become friends with not only other people here, who enjoy reading but also other authors, like me!
Thus, the reason I even bothered reading something like Seducing Hope AT ALL is because Winters just happened to be one of the authors I met on Goodreads. And because I wanted a chance to mingle with a lot of people in this community, thus getting to know them, I agreed to read, rate, and review one of her books. And mind you, this was AFTER I invited her to do the same thing for me! Whether she actually read and rated any of my books doesn't matter, here.
What matters is all the harsh, negative backlash all of YOU commenters felt like you just HAD to spout off at me!! Okay, I get it: I'm not as famous or well-known as Winters, here is. And I'll admit I wasn't familiar with her or the typical genre she wrote her works in. But come on, people!! As one of you pointed out in your scathing remarks to me, I was quite new to this community, and so I decided to dabble in a genre or trope which falls outside of my typical preferences!!
I didn't even have to give this book a read AT ALL if I didn't want to. I could've just spouted off a blank rating of 1 star at it or worse yet, included a dumb-ass one-line remark about how I assumed it would be nothing but garbage and pointless to read!! But I didn't do this. I didn't write a scathing review or leave a blank, scathing rating without reading it, beforehand. Why? Because at least I know better than to do stuff like this. And because in spite of what you die-hard fans of the dark sides of reading may think of me, I am NOT some stupid, bratty baby, alright?!?
In case you haven't heard, Goodreads is a PUBLIC SPACE for both readers and writers, alike!! None of you have any right in essentially telling me to shut my damn yap or to take my "poorly written and painfully ridiculous opinion elsewhere"!!! (-_-) Besides...A stark number of people who have read one or more of MY books have done EXACTLY the same thing the lot of YOU shouted at me NOT to do in those old, unwanted comments of yours!!
Not only this, but because I'm stuck living in a shabby apartment, which isn't much bigger than a shack, I'm dying...Literally MFing...Dying. The whole damn building is run by a bloody buggering snobby slumlorrd, who just NEVER bothers to fix ANYTHING here!!! He just comes around here once a month to grab his hundreds of bucks and runs back to his own 'crib'! And I'm slowly dying because my air conditioner is an old, seriously flawed model, which I cannot clean properly, due to the way it was installed, plus its lack of a filter door. This results in years and bloody BUGGERING YEARS of dust gathering up inside of the unit, which then begins to slowly suffocate me to death. And this is just ONE of many problems I'm stuck with...In South FL of all places!! No, I have no idea if the slimebal of a man is ever going to put a new air conditioner in my bedroom. Nor will any of my doctors do anything to try saving my life...! This is Medicare for you, I guess. And yeah, I'm on Medicare, but NOT by my own choice. I blame this move on Trump!! (-_-)
And believe me...I do NOT wanna live in FL all my life, either. Like each person's reading preferences, everyone has their own favorite places to live. Needless to say, my personal 'paradise' is none of YOUR business! Nor are any of your favorites mine. So, instead of telling me to shut up, why don't ALL OF YOU backlashers get down off your bloody buggering high horses and learn to shut YOUR damn yaps?!? Cause Goodreads doesn't belong to ANY of you, now does it!?
Right, so if anyone was able to manage getting this far in reading this little rant of mine, then let me ask this...Why should I even bother to finish my first and so far ONLY novel series for ANYBODY which knows about who I am or at least has ever heard of me, before? Seriously, I want everyone who reads this to give me at least 5 reasons why they wanna find out how Sky Fighters and Houndy Crunchers ends. If anyone still cares about it, I'll be waiting to hear your answers...
Thanks and have a great life or something.
P.S. This is the first review of a book I read which I've also decided to convert into a blog. I can hardly wait to see what everybody's reactions to this are gonna be...
