It's that time again!! Whatcha Reading Tuesday!! Come on and share what you're reading with us. Anything at all as long as you're reading :) And this week we want you to be a little catty. Promise we won't tell (crosses fingers behind back). Tell us who you think is...an overrated writer. Who is it? Koontz, Rowling, Shakespeare...seriously it's just between us and the internet :P
I am reading Eragon. Starting tomorrow actually, since I didn't get to it yesterday. :) Hoping this is a fantasy series I like. I won't mention the HP fiasco...LOL
ReplyDeleteAs for authors I don't like (oh dear, I am so going to anger the romance writing gods with my answer) Jane Austen and Danielle Steel. I know! I know!! I should be ashamed of myself!
I like exactly two of Austen's books:
Sense and Sensibility
Pride and Prejudice.
Other than that, no.
And I just can't get into Danielle Steel's novels.
Now everyone knows my dirty little secret :P
I'm not doing a lot of reading now with trying to crank out Shadowsword faster, but when I do have time, I'm reading the rewrites of Falconheart (used to be Maddie's Hybrid Blood), and Kindar, Michelle4Laugh's book.
ReplyDeleteAs for overrated writers, I think there are too many to list, so I'll just stick with the one I think is the most overrated. *Cringes* I know I'm going to piss a lot of people off, but ah well. Stephanie Meyer. Yeah, I know. I won't even get into it, so don't get me started, because you'll just end up with a blood bath. LOL!
I agree with Raven!! Both about Stephanie Meyer and the impending bloodbath lol. As for other overrated writers...Jim Butcher is one for me. There are many reasons why but lets just say i would rather LARP with the man than read his books.
ReplyDeleteAs for what I am reading this week...I am currently reading Darkfever by Karen Marie Moning and The Vampire Lestat by Anne Rice. I know its sad but i tend to read more than one book at once. Normally its a fiction and a non-fiction but it just didn't work out that way this time.
I am reading "The Sound and the Fury" by William Faulkner. In the mood for some classic literature.
ReplyDeleteMy word, the claws are out. LOL I'm reading The Poison Eaters by Holly Black. As far as overrated writer I may have to say James Patterson. Too many books and not enough attention to each one. Slow down dude :P
