You can't fix a house built on corrupt soil.

How many times does "we'll do better" get you out of the hole?

It's six years later, four years later, two years later...

Hey, you didn't do better.

You build a house with faulty foundation and dying soil and you are going to fall through the floor eventually. But someone has to finally say you can't repair it.

It's not broken. It's problematic.

NGL...
I am really irked when a well-known author has a really, really ugly cover, and for the week or so after it is revealed and then the week or so after it is released, I have ugly cover spread all over my feed. EVERYWHERE. NO ESCAPE.

I know. I'm a bad person. But it makes me cringe so much.

I wonder sometimes why we think we have to like every character in a book, or every character we feel we should like. Unlikable characters have their place too, especially when they are dynamic and the author plays into that part of them that bugs that crap out of you. If I remember a character because I hate them, that's better than me forgetting everyone because they were status quo. Mess stuff up ;)

If you are going to review a literary book, review it as a literary book... not a romance. Why? Because it is not a romance.

I repeat LITERARY DOES NOT EQUAL ROMANCE.

It can /have romance/, but it is NOT A ROMANCE.

Damn.

Kthnxbye.
/End rant.

I dunno if I like how they are talking about people who use drugs, or if the author has a good understanding of meth use in general. As a counselor who works with mental health and drug and alcohol, I bit my tongue pretty hard already.

My dad seems to think I should put together my AC and put it in the window all by myself. Because that makes perfect sense. Just let me melt because I can't lift and screw in a 50ib AC by myself.

Melanie Hansen is ruining my heartless reader cred. Had to stop reading for a few minutes so I could actually read words through tears.

Here's the thing...

People have pain. Real pain. It doesn't always come out in the most graceful of ways, and I certainly can't condone some of the ways it does come out - but does that make the pain any less real? No.

Just because something never happened to you, doesn't mean it didn't actually happen and doesn't mean their pain isn't valid... just... stop and think before for a minute. Layers. They exist.

I did some editing, so I figured I'd read a bit... but nothing sounds good to me right now :(

Just telling everyone now - Keep an eye out for Permanent Jet Lag by A.N. Casey. It's a book that will stick with me for a long time and when it's closer to release, I can promise a gushing review for the awesomeness that is the story.

I wonder what some people would say if they knew how some authors act behind the scenes. Wow.

Really enjoying this so far. The author does a great job of building up the tension.

Next Show is going to be a British one now that I've caught up with Hit the Floor.

Either Emmerdale or Cuffs. Either couple looks like a gut punch.

If anyone is looking for a new TV show with gay/bi characters, I suggest Hit the Floor on VH1. The couple doesn't come to season 2 and they don't get the best beginning story (the writers kind of didn't give them a good foundation), but the actors are actually quite good at the emotional scenes. It's kind of a guilty pleasure show, but I devoured season 1 to current (season 3) in like three days.

Another case of "I'll just read the first chapter" and I end up reading way more.
