Funds are low, so a lot of re-reads happening!
It kinda scares me to see all the books coming out that contain what alot of people here are referring to as badly written. I haven't read either the 'Grey' or 'Twilight' series (and based on what most are saying here I never will) so I can't absolutely be sure about the quality of writing in either of those series, but I am going to go with the majority of voters and not read either one. Just scares me that this might be the first sign of the dumbing-down of America. I'm not slamming anyone out there who's read and enjoyed either of these series, so don't take it personally, please. Just stating an opinion.
