Part of being a grown up is...

Part of being a grown up is...knowing when you like something and when you don't. I began reading the erotica. Then, after page 10, realized that I just didn't like it. The book or the overly obvious slapping me in the face with too much information just isn't my cup of...well, anything. Sorry erotica. I'm not in the mood to read you. I'd love a guest blogger who does or wants to read this sub-genre. I'm going back to pick a different book.

Hey...to the authors of the craft.....I applaud you for your hard work (OK, WAY too many puns could be in my blogs). Writing a book is NOT easy. It's a diligent process that requires so many positive qualities. Resilience, perseverance, loyalty to one's sense of identity. For that, I admire anyone who writes.

But, as a reader, and to be fair to myself & my readers....I have to be authentically me. Reading soft (sometimes very hard) porn...is just not in my make up. I end up laughing. Yes. I'm immature. So what?

Be authentic!
That's the message for today.

Stay true to who you are and what you enjoy.

Be honest with yourself and others.

If you don't like a book. Don't push through to the end, unless you want to.

Would I tell anyone which book made me close the cover after page 10. Absolutely not! It's not my place to make that kind of judgement. This is definitely one for the slash & burn pile. BUT, someone out there will LOVE this book.

Remember......no matter what anyone says.....ALL of life is subjective!

Keep reading!
