I read to relieve stress - new job, new town, plenty of stress, LOTS of reading! As I am in rather a small town with a very small library that only has three branches (and no SWIFT!), I have been spending inordinate time with my kindle downloading cheap books. I have also spent rather a lot of time reading drivel and tripe (are they the same thing?). Even though many of the titles have been fairly awful when I am in a book consuming mood they have to be really awful for me to stop reading them. Consequently I have read rather a lot of mediumly awful books over the last couple of weeks.
I really think editors need to have a word with their authors and point out that the addition of a werewolf or vampire cannot ressurect (like the link to the vampire theme?), bad writing. I think it kind of highlights the bad writing as it sticks out like a sore thumb (or a vampire on the beach...). While they were on the subject they could also add that shoving in a sex scene to fill up some space and a word count is not always best for the storyline... I am in the middle of a 'take down' of the baddies but I think I will just slip over to the corner for a bit of nookie??? Slightly impractical.
