Similar to the snark of The Worst Muse, write an endorsement for a book (no names, keep it vague) and "praise" it in a way that is back-handed, absurd or otherwise unhelpful/discouraging to someone browsing for books.

Examples:

"Best thing I ever read while waiting for my dentist appointment!"

"I may as well be illiterate now because this book ruined me for all others!"

"Somebody knows her grammar!"

"While others flounder in gimmicky trends, he truly cashes in."

Renee E | 335 comments "This was the perfect book, not too long, not too short and had the perfect amount of depth, exactly enough to stabilize the short leg on my favorite chair."

Andrew Lawston (andrewlawston) | 44 comments Thin but sturdy pages, with a nice smooth texture. Yes, this book was a joy from start to finish.

I ordered the sequel immediately. We're having chilli next week and it will be a lifesaver.

Andrew Lawston (andrewlawston) | 44 comments I hoped it would take a couple of seconds to register, I like that kind of delayed drop effect :)


message 17: by Andrew (new)

Andrew Lawston (andrewlawston) | 44 comments This bleak tragic tale of a homeless orphan struggling to survive on the frozen streets of Victorian Glasgow had me helpless with laughter from the very first page.
