I’ve decided to close the site down.

Just kidding! I guess I can’t use this gag for next year’s April Fool’s, can I?

Anyway, I read a book the other day that made me want to stab my eyes out.

One of my problems when I look for books is that I usually go through this process:

• I see a cover that looks interesting
• I recognize the author
• I read the book summary - usually the first paragraph

If one of those registers, I buy the book. That’s what I did with a book from Kay Hooper. I forget what it was of hers I read but I liked it so I remembered her name, and when I saw this book the other day I thought it was a winner.

I like the mysteries. The cop dramas. The books with a little horror mixed in with some craziness. This book was NONE OF THAT. In fact, I was sooo completely wrong, I slapped myself when I was done.

“CJ’s Fate” was the title of this book, and if you like “romance” books, this is for you. If you like something that is interesting, this is NOT for you. How she jumped from that trash to hard drama novels is beyond me.

The thing is, I even did the “summary” test - it LOOKED like it might have been a drama. No, it was filled with this twit who pretended she was in love with someone so her catty hen posse would leave her alone and stop trying to set her up with someone.

I read, hoping for a twist. Maybe this new beau would stab her best friend, or they would get into a wreck. Anything to save this book from being a wasted collective of random dribbles.

Sadly, it read like some stupid fantasy. Not only was the girl finally in love with someone, but she just HAPPENED to be the owner of a huge billion dollar corporation.

Next to some of the things written at TDE, this is the worst thing I’ve ever read.
