THIS WEEK’S RANDOM QUESTION: What do you think is the most overrated book?

50 shades of grey and all of it’s little buddies. Seriously I do not understand how so many women can just LOVE that book. It is just so BAD, the writing is just bad. I read them and while I found them somewhat enjoyable (and it was probably just because I was laughing at how bad) the first time, the second time (why did I read them again?) they were just BAD.

It also gives a very very bad look at BDSM, which already gets a bad wrap by people who don’t understand it. BDSM is not about stalking, it is not about controlling every single part of someones life and it is not about being abusive. If Christian Grey was a poor guy who dressed in ratty jeans and a t-shirt I doubt so many women would be cooing and drooling all over him. But because he is a Billionaire who dresses in nice suits he’s, “hot” and “misunderstood”, sorry but nope. Just nope.

I may have been a little bit fierce this week in my reply but it has been one of those days.
