My list of people whose work I’ll never try because they are assholes towards readers grows by the minute.
Which is kinda sad, because I’ve heard that some of those books are awesome.
On the other hand, there are thousands upon thousands of new books out there, many of them written and published by writer-type people who respect readers even when they disagree with them. I know. What a concept, right?
Plus my TBR pile is scary, so it’s not as if I’m going to be running out of reading material any time soon.
I have been pondering the whole dust up going around over an author doing a Kickstarter for her book. Jane at Dear Author talked about it here, and Lori poked some fun here.

Me? I’m just a little fed up with how some people feel entitled to my money and my time.
