I know exactly what you mean! If I was the writer of said books, I would get sick of repeating myself just with different character names. I mean, come on, a bit of variation never hurt anyone right? I myself have been blocked to the point I would read anything to get me out of the rut, including *cringes* my fair share of romantic novels. Hero meets girl, saves girl from some torturous fate she cant get herself out of (I could get into feministic views here but I wont)then falls in love with said hero and they live happily ever after...(throw some sex in there and you have a book...almost like these writers are following some recipe that cant be changed cos they think the taste will be wrong if they do)
I truly dont know how such things can be published! Is that type of story in that much demand?


Its hard to find a good book these days, I only stick with authors I know wont bore me within the first three pages. I find myself skipping to the end of those books and finding that I really didn't miss anything. lol

Your posts are always worth a read A. *small smile* Sorry for the rant...
