I read George R. R. Martin hard at work on the new book and suddenly have to check my calendar if it was April 1st.

No, that's when they'll be announcing its release.

[Jay]

Awesome!

LOVE this

That is great.

I'd divorce him, too!

Nice! lol

I'm fairly certain I've said something like that before...

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Been there...

[Felina]

Oh yeah. But my TBR is in more understandable stacks though I still can't find anything.

[Chris , cookie guilt]

Felina, I've seen it where your "currently reading" shelf looked like that.

[Jeremy]

My TBR rack currently stands at zero, but only because I practice laziness at the Olympic level.

It's still like that. I'm too embarrassed to actually post everything I'm currently bouncing between. My method of picking a book to read is to throw a bunch of books at the wall and see which sticks....each day.

Perfect! Thanks, Colleen the Fabulous! (not a book hipster)

[colleen the convivial curmudgeon, Not a book hipster!]

You're welcome. ^_^

(And you can just call me Colleen) :)

[Tessa]

Heh, but this is way more fun.

[colleen the convivial curmudgeon, Not a book hipster!]

Well, in that case, have at it!

[Jay]

Wait, I think I've read that one...

That cartoon describes exactly why I avoid all of that subgenre. Well, that and the fact that I've never much dug dystopiae/post-apocalyptiana (no, those aren't words, but they should be).

[Tessa]

But, but, but--there are so many really good dystopian books! Just avoid the YA and romance ones, and you should be ok.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

I'm writing one about WW3 that leaves most of the population zombies who sparkle when they fall in love with werewolves while vampires are at war with a young autistic boy and his group of sad misfit followers who are finally saved by an ex-navy seal and his love who joined Delta Force but had carried a torch for him since they had been separated during high school when his abusive parents put him in a military school to keep them apart...

But I'm stuck for a title.

Oh after the boy went to military school she had then been sent to a girl's school that was secretly a covert spy agency.

LMAO!!!! I think you just won the internets.

[colleen the convivial curmudgeon, Not a book hipster!]

I still don't get zombie romance stories...

Me either.

I just read one where the zombies were not one of the MCs and I was able to finish it. The rest of them? Squick me out and i can't read them.

[Tessa]

Thanks, Mike, for the laugh. Sounds about right. I still can't believe I read Warm Bodies AND saw the movie. Although it was better than some I have read, I confess.

[colleen the convivial curmudgeon, Not a book hipster!]

Warm Bodies bothered me mostly because I felt the Romeo and Juliet parallels were *so* forced, and the world-building was kinda weak and inconsistent. (I haven't seen the movie, just read the book.)

The thing I actually remember it for most, though, was the big "controversy" when it came out because the author was seriously pissed off that book stores were shelving it as YA...

[MrsJoseph *grouchy*, Bad Girls Deadlift]

Well, R&J were like 14-15 years old, so...

[Jay]

The only YA dystopia that I dug was the Hunger Games series, which I came to through Battle Royale.
I find most dystopiae boring, and the same goes for post-apocalyptic fiction as well. I dug The Stand and the Fallout games and 28 Days Later and... that's about it.
And I am so frigging tired of zombies...

According to the author, the youngest character was 20, I think.

Really? I'm pretty sure they were teenagers. But I was talking about the Shakespeare play - haven't seen or read Warm Bodies.

[colleen the convivial curmudgeon, Not a book hipster!]

Ah, yes... the Shakespeare play:

[MrsJoseph *grouchy*, Bad Girls Deadlift]

Yup. LOL. So true.

But, I just can't understand someone remixing R&J and then getting mad it was under YA.

ETA: Because R&J do dumb ass kid stuff and to force a parallel means the new characters have to do dumb ass kid stuff.

[Felina]

Warm Bodies is fantastic for the first half then really creepy and falls apart during the second half.

That's the problem with zombies. I mean, you can't rely on a boyfriend that's just gonna fall apart on you...

[Jay]

So many tasteless jokes about detachable parts...

[Jay]

I am still a big fan of Romeo and Juliet, mostly because I relate to Romeo's smartass friend who dies on day two...
Because if I was in any piece of fiction, I'd be the smartass sidekick who dies at the end of act two.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Hey I've got it! I'll add a plague to the story that turns adults past teen age years into zombies and call the book: The Reclining.

I like R&J...just not as romance, lol.

When I was still a teen, it was soooo romantic. Either that or the incredibly cute ass student teacher we had. YUM! We made that poor guy so uncomfortable. I can't imagine what being in a classroom with 15 or more 14 year old girls - teaching them Romeo and Juliet - felt like. Probably put the poor guy off teaching, lol.

We all made eyes at him basically every day. I seem to recall lots of giggling, too.

My girl friend and I went to see the 1968 movie of R&J. She was all romantic while all I really got from it was that Olivia Hussey was truly hot.

Guess I'm shallow.

That is certain to be a best seller. Be sure to pretend to be a female author, but pretending to be maybe a man by using just your initials.
