Lately, I’ve been reading more than I have been writing. It’s odd to find myself in this predicament. I read Laura Davis’ book The Last Thing He Told Me in 2 days. I stayed up all night the 2nd night just to finish reading it, and then threw the book because I was so mad at one of the characters. It’s a really good read, for the record.

And for some reason, I keep getting these reading app ads on my Facebook with snippets from the werewolf romance genre. I think it is because I watched through one of the ads for the Reel Short episodes for “Fated to my Forbidden Alpha,” and now that’s all that seems to pop up.

There is an upside and a downside to this. The upside is that I’ve run across some really good writing. The downside is that I’ve run across some horrible writing. Misspellings, poorly phrased sentences, and some of it looks like it was written by a child. No description. No imagery. Lots of missing words.

What I want to know is do they sell any of that trash?
