This Ones for LC

[sr71plt]

I had to laugh. I walked into a service center on the M5 near Taunton this afternoon, and facing me was a whole rack of the 50 Shades of Grey series. No other books to be found.

Aww thanks for thinking of me!

That's how its selling they;re forcing you to choose it!

Know what's worse, that in the Stop and Shop in Warwick there isn't one, but several kiosks right at the end of the cash out aisles full of these things.

BTW was it Taunton Mass you were in?

Zip ties are dangerous dammit! Don;t try that at home!

My best friend gave me the series and said "Read these. They're awful."

So I read them. And they were awful. And incredibly incorrect. And someone will start trying to put that shit into practice in the bedroom and get hurt.

I hope they sue the shit out of EL James.

You're my hero!

Thank you! Thank you!

That's fuinny though, "here these suck read them."

It's like "Man this stinks, here smell it!"

And people do it.

Yes, I know. I was kidding.

And I'd like to point out that I did not start this thread.

My BFFs reasoning was that if it was bad enough, I'd write something out of sheer frustration.

I did.

Should be out on Smashwords by the end of the week.

My daughter said the same thing to me. I read the first one so far and thought it was boring. When I talked to my daughter tonight, she said the next two were even worse. That makes me really want to read them.

I already did the link is in my sig. Very opposite of Shades, has some romance, but its hardcore and quite dark. The bad boy also remains that way and his love interest is not going to save him.

Please send me the link to yours via PM I'll check it out.

What I'm not getting is that I have heard a lot of people say they didn't like one, but bought and read the other two.

Anytime I've read a book one that I didn't enjoy I never bothered with the other ones.

 

[FallingToFly]

I didn't write anything like Shades, lol. Just wrote something that I think is better than that.... drivel. Granted, I probably could have copied my third grade journal into type and it would have been better, but....

She borrowed them from someone at work, and I borrowed them from her.

I wonder if they hoped the second and third would be better.

No, Taunton, Devon, UK, just north of Exeter.

No, I went to see my mother's ancestral home in the Blackdown Hills. Pray tell, what did I miss by not seeing that guy?

(Sorry, the shitty Internet here (the Forest of Dean) doesn't permit opening that link.)

That said, the Forest of Dean has other attractions.
It's beautiful part of England.

That guy is "Willow man," a 40 feet high statue made from willow saplings in the form of a man placed close to the M5 near Bridgewater a few miles north of your destination.

I go to the UK once or twice most years and from my family base in Gloucestershire often go down to see friends in Honiton, which would be very close to where you were headed.

edited to add: Taunton is in Somerset - just.

Ah, yes, I saw him then. practically no head and arms like penguin wings, but a long, bulky body.

My destination near Honiton was Cotleigh. I should have gone over to Butterleigh too, but I didn't have all of the family documentation with me. Near enough, though, and I dug of distant relatives.
