I think I knew that about the Hockett books being mother-daughter team. Her covers would make me skip them if I didn't know they'd been previously pubbed by a trade publisher. Maybe the book I read was their first one, and they got better. I'm not averse to trying again, just haven't felt the urge to. I've been in a huge slump since the end of July. Normally I can read a book in a day or two, but lately it's taken me a week or more.

I am still scratching my head on why she was attacked and yet there are several books on DA that are much worse and they have a good review.  |

I don't buy her being clueless about the lawsuit. This isn't the first time she stuck the foot in the mouth. There is a pattern.

She and her fans have a long and well-known history of attacking reviews that are critical of her masterpiece (often on Amazon itself). Honestly, even if I read NA I wouldn't touch hers with some
else's Kindle. There's also the issue of pulled-to-publish Twilight fanfiction.

Don't do it!!! Reports have been surfacing of entire purchase histories disappearing and people being unable to download past purchases.

No purchases for me this week. My last paid purchase was on 9/10 and I'm about to post it in a separate post so it won't get lost in this WALL O' TEXT.
