Who still reads the books?

I'm just curious how many people still read the books, and how many people wait until paperback to buy them.  I joined the community because her AB books since and including Cerulean Sins have gone way down hill.  Since I'm a bit fond of erotica, I liked the MG series, but the book before last didn't even cover a day in time, and I felt very cheated.  I was hoping for improvement, and while I think she has done character development with Nathaniel (despite the apron and pearls) that's been about it.  I'm not going to buy any of her books until paperback and then I'm only reading them to poke fun at her writing and hope that she actually does get better.  I hate to see a writer with her potential fall prey to their ego.  I mean Jim Butcher has an extremely long series with Harry Dresden and his character is still developing and the plots are still fresh. 

Also, what's her deal with lesbian/bisexual scenes? 

And how many people think it is just plain cruel what she is doing to Jean Claude and Asher?

JC and Asher sleep together, but I don't think they're actually doing the deed. From what I gather Anita is still too squicked about having her honey off doing some other guy when she's not around.

In The Harlequin Anita has a lesbian dream sequence with Belle Morte. I SOOO totally could have done without that. Ever.

Overall I thought Harlequin was marginally better. There's only like 4 sex scenes, and they're not multi-chapter horrors like in the last few books. There's actually what could pass for a plot too, yay. Of course, she does Rafael **sadness :( ** AND Donovan the Swan King - with Edward apparently cheering her on **twitch**. So, still not good.

What I want to know is how she can walk having had sex with that many people.

Maybe ridiculous sexual stamina is an unspoken talent of Belle Morte's line. We know London must have it, because I've never heard of any human guy who could have sex every two hours for a twenty-four hour period, even without the vampire-magic-feeding addition. Even for a vampire it's pushing suspension of disbelief. :P

AND Donovan the Swan King

I heard she did a full ot feather scene... as in she and Donovan are doing the deed, he changes and all the swans everywhere are drained... including the ones that are flying!
