http://users.livejournal.com/_hallow_/I found a blurb I wrote for someone a few years ago describing the Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series. Re-reading it just made me really effing mad, so here I am to rant about it.
( Summary of AB:VH...rant in italics )
Anyway, I think the flogs are great and I am so glad I have this community, but I have an idea. We're always complaining so much that LKH keeps writing this crap when it's so bad, but we're the same people who buy her books (not me, not this time) just to see what a train wreck it is and add our money to her ever-growing empire.
She's always saying "if you don't like 'em, don't read 'em" so I say we give her exactly what she wants. Maybe I should have done this before the book came out, but I'm calling for a boycott on LKH books. If you're in, that means no more buying them (that gives her $$), no more getting them from the library (it encourages libraries to buy her next one, which means more $$ for her) and do not encourage a gullible friend to buy them and then borrow them because, again, that's more dinero for the woman who basically turned on her longtime, loyal fans for pointing out the obvious flaws in latest works of half-assed crap.
( Apparently the rant kept spewing out of me, so I decided to cut it. Be prepared. )

"Dense Macabre"
Jul. 13th, 2006 11:52 pmdracoliciousss.livejournal.comSo, i'm looking at the NY Times best seller list, and danse macabre is listed there. So naturally i get ready to fume, until i realize that it's listed as DENSE MACABRE!!! lmfao. I guess the reviewer got tired of sifting through 500 pages of plotlessness too. Here's the link
