It’s started already and it isn’t even February yet.
Look I literally do not have the patience to dissect this. I’ve been fighting with this MESS of a doc that my boss gave me to format, which started it’s life as a bunch of copy and pasted pieces of other documents compete with fucking formatting errors up the ass.
As you can see I’m a bit aggravated.
So someone else take the knife to this piece of shit “think piece” please?
I’ll be over here:
So I just saw this, and because I’m feeling pretty salty right now, I just posted this lovely comment to correspond with said article:
wow, way to offend romance readers with your literary snobbery: “oh,
here are some love story books we recommend that AREN’T romance novels
so you won’t feel at all embarrassed by reading that garbage, hahahaha!”
Seriously? You even put the words “romance novel” in quotations. And
wow, how out-dated are you? Fabio hasn’t been on a cover in 20+ years.
But despite that, your opening paragraphs are written to make women feel
“ashamed” for daring to look at such a book, let alone pick it up and
read it. I’m so sick and tired of people who never crack open a romance
novel continuing to regurgitate this nonsense that women should feel
embarrassed for liking/reading them. Never mind that it’s the genre that
sells the most books, that’s it’s a genre written by women, for women,
and run in practically every area of the publishing industry BY WOMEN,
and that it revolutionized the e-publishing industry? STFU
I’m sure the haters will respond, but right now, I don’t give a flying fuck
so Vince McMahon is bringing back the XFL, because it was such a tremendous and incredible success last time, with tens of fans glued to their screens for all one seasons
this certainly isn’t a blatant cash grab to appeal to racists who are angry at the NFL for daring to let a black man have an opinion, no sir
This year marks the bicentennial of Mary Shelley’s landmark novel, Frankenstein, being first published. However, the version of the novel that most of us first read was Mary’s 1831 revision of the novel, which has many significant textual variants. Critical opinion is divided on which version is the superior but now you can judge for yourself as Penguin Classics have published Frankenstein: The 1818 Text as a standalone volume for the first time, featuring an introduction by Charlotte Gordon. And here are just a few of the publisher’s covers for the 1831 text, in case you wanted to pick up a copy of that one, too.
Not to be controversial, but if your feminism relies on the same rhetoric as “women shouldn’t read novels; their tiny brains will be corrupted,” it’s probably not actually that progressive.
Ugh, I was not a fan of this book (waaaaaaaaaaay too long and repetitive and kinda boring, especially at the beginning), but I have little doubt this will do well.
BUT WAIT! I thought they were making that DA movie??? Is that really a thing, or further “click bait” from the press? If it is real, MG is going to have a few scheduling conflicts (along with the other half of the cast involved with other shows)
