I just don't understand how certain books end up getting published and become immensely popular when they are ridiculously and embarrassingly horrible, and deeply problematic, to begin with. Let alone having certain "authors" be considered legit writers (lol) when they have had little understanding of how to write a cohesive story, especially when everyone knows that their work is literally published (bad) fanfiction of something equally as terrible.

Badly written books are published all the time, but how many of them end up getting this kind of publicity?

We really need to get more well-written, actual quality books to get the spotlight for a change, ones that are worthy of the hype. There are plenty out there by authors who have actually worked hard to get their work published and deserve recognition.

This has been a rant on something that has been bothering me for a while. Carry on.

Lmao I saw that the other day and was like "........................."

So I bought my mum a Kindle for her birthday, and I got it on my amazon account, so it's linked to my account and every time she buys a book on it I get an email notification about it.

Like two months ago I got an email at 2am from amazon thanking me for purchasing 50 SHADES OF FUCKING GREY. And I died inside ten million times.

Then the next day I yelled at my mum and berated her and tore her a new one for like an hour.

I practically have warned everyone I know about that book, telling them don't buy it. If they're curious go online and read the excerpts, and those that did were horrified by how terrible it was.

My sister is an employee at Barnes and Noble and she's annoyed that she can't say anything to warn the customers who are curious about the book, lol.
