message 4601: by Tati (new)

Tati yes, I thought it was better than the Mortal Instruments. But I'm giving up on the author for now. I'm tired of Shadowhunters

Rebecca (longy207) | 1581 comments cool, thanks

Jennifer Tressen | 1 comments I've been reading some old Gossip Girl novels. Oh how I love them! I miss that show.


message 4605: by Tati (new)

Tati Yeah, it's not up yet, this page was available for a couple of hours and then taken down


message 4606: by Irene (new)

Irene (raenne) | 4856 comments Will it be available outside the US, do you know that?


message 4607: by Tati (new)

Tati I have no idea... I only found out about this thanks to a newsletter I receive every day with news of the editorial market

Rachael (classycupcakezz) | 5933 comments So I think I'm gonna sit out of the challenge next month cause I'm getting LASIK eye surgery on the 1st.. I'm curious if anyone has gotten this procedure done before and how it affects your reading? My contact prescription is -3.25 which means I use them to see far away.. I'm excited to have 20/20 vision but I'm scared it will affect my ability and comfort of reading from a device with a back light.

Any input?

Abi (abi_gr) | 27659 comments Why can't people respect that other people have different opinions? Ugh!
Just had someone having a right go on my review!

I haven't had any experiences with it, but I wish you the best of luck!

I saw that, it was quite rude! Some people can't deal with different opinions...

Ow! Now that sounds scary. Not necessarily hurtful, but scary indeed! Best of luck! :)

Mei (meijey) | 3810 comments Saw that as well! She was actually persuading you to like it and it was very rude how she argued.

Bitching and putting words into people's mouths is his/her's specialities!

Thanks for the support. :)

People who argue their point in other people's reviews are so rude!

I actually just looked at her review, and at the end it says about people like me who 'judge' the character.. and that to be a good reader, you've got to understand her character! Such a cheek!

If only people would understand what 'opinion' means!

I haven't experienced that, and that's really scary. Hope all goes well for you, Rachael!

That's insane! I looked at it too and it was edited recently just to point out how anyone judges it by the protagonist is wrong. I can't believe. I cannot...And she also made a comment on Sarah's review :O You can't convince everyone to see it the way you did.


message 4620: by Abi (new)

Abi (abi_gr) | 27659 comments Bloody hell, they're all coming out tonight! Just got someone else asking me how I didn't think a book was great on another review!

OMG this person is getting on my last nerve!


message 4622: by Tati (new)

Tati Can't you block her?


message 4623: by Abi (new)

Abi (abi_gr) | 27659 comments I'm just about to. Really annoying when they see they can't get another response from you on your review so go onto a friend's review instead though!


message 4624: by Mei (new)

Mei (meijey) | 3810 comments I actually unfriend people who say spoilers in their reviews without warnings, haha. How much more if it's arguing with you. (In this case, block)


message 4625: by Tati (new)

Tati I haven't read the book, but it's just weird that the character would stick to ballet, which is something that requires a lot of time and dedication, not to mention discipline, while at the same time, self-destructing by smoking and drinking... I would find fault with that as well!


message 4626: by Abi (last edited Jul 17, 2014 12:52PM) (new)

Abi (abi_gr) | 27659 comments Just before I blocked, the person decided to comment on Sarah's and my friendship. This bit actually made me laugh!

'I suppose it makes sense that people who judge books by subjective standards would be friends.'

Of course, we're only friends because we hate the same books... -insert eyerolling gif here-


message 4627: by Mei (new)

Mei (meijey) | 3810 comments I actually laughed at her morality comment. Haha!


message 4628: by Tati (new)

Tati has to be a troll...

I just don't see how is it possible to JUDGE anything objectively...

Inês | 583 comments I'm probably spamming your review Abbie but seriously this person has real issues and someone should warn her xD

Haha! No worries. I had to walk away from him, otherwise i wouldn't have been able to sleep from being so mad!

I just feel like skipping until the end -.- what happened to Veronica Roth? Divergent was such a great book! Insurgent was a disappointment, but I always thought it was middle book syndrome, now I just feel like the whole series has lost its magic...*sigh*
