My family thinks I'm crazy, but I love them.<br /><br />I don't really care about Allegiant one way or the other, but authors are entitled to write the books the want, readers are entitled to like them, or not. <br /><br />I cannot read the lizard book. I have had a phobia of lizard "people" since watching the movie V, when I was a kid. No way.<br /><br />I don't read alternate pov books either, but really liked Cam, so I will read it. Good to know that I won't be getting anything new. <br /><br />The pen name thing confuses me too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08355438390442316391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-56456772189381573552013-10-28T11:16:07.018-04:002013-10-28T11:16:07.018-04:00The usage of pet names also annoys me - I wish I&#...The usage of pet names also annoys me - I wish I'd added it to my list of bookish peeves. It also annoys me when 'someone' lets it 'slip' that such and such an author is in fact better known as ...... Call me cynical but I can't help wonder just who it was that let it slip - the author themselves? Their publicity team?

So annoying. I suppose it's to show that this is a different genre but, really, it's not so different from what she wrote before so drop the J. Lynn and move on. IMO, anyway.<br /><br />I had to avoid social media until I made my way through Allegiant. Spoilers suck.Mary @ BookSwarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04099395167194720599noreply@blogger.com
