Hee.

The hype surrounding that book annoys me. I've been ranting about it in my head all week, damn Entertainment Weekly and their constant news coverage of it. Finally realized that I was looking at it all wrong - the book is a testatment to the fact that anyone can get published - all you have to do is find someone who likes it, and have a great idea.

Between Buffy and Stephanie Meyer - Twilight has become a bit overused of late. Sorry you didn't complete yours first and get it published - much rather be reading about you in EW than Meyer. Meyer is creepy. Also, from just reading your posts - I know your book would have been better written, at the very least it would have not had all those adverbs.
Funny, people keep telling me to cut the adverbs, which I do. And here comes a book that is littered with them.

Oh, if you can find it, and would like a book that sort of lampoons the publishing industry and romantic fiction - try "Sex, Lies, Murder, Fame - by Lolita Files".
