My 10 y.o. and I had the flu this week, too and it was a tough one, for sure. <br /><br />I can't think of any specific grovel novels off the top of my head, either, but a good grovel is so satisfying, isn't it?Christinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648190206974339450.post-30081420531450800222009-11-06T08:27:45.329-05:002009-11-06T08:27:45.329-05:00aw I loved Miss Pettigrew also!

I like hearing that!<br /><br />I learned early in my career that you can't please everyone so you just have to be true to yourself and try your best to ignore the negativity that's sure to come your way from time to time. That doesn't mean that it won't hurt (because sometimes it does) but I give the hurt a time limit then leave it behind. <br /><br />I love JM but "Double Standards" is one I don't think I've read. Kati, you have to stop adding to my tbr. It already has it's own room! lol!PJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18234101901405553621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648190206974339450.post-59552607433792921292009-11-05T17:13:00.192-05:002009-11-05T17:13:00.192-05:00Heaven, Texas by SEP had one of the best grovels I...Heaven, Texas by SEP had one of the best grovels I ever read and I still wanted Bobby Tom to get run over by a car because he was such a jack ass.Katiebabs a.k.a KBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15958121742156171756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648190206974339450.post-80905079637769808342009-11-05T16:59:25.556-05:002009-11-05T16:59:25.556-05:00Sorry you're still feeling bad.
And for an a...Sorry you're still feeling bad. <br /><br />And for an author (or anyone for that matter) to get upset over a grade is nuts. It's an opinion nothing more, nothing less. And opinions are abundant about books good and bad.<br /><br />Bad manners are just bad manners. Something I try really had to avoid, although I confess I'm NOT perfect. *grin*<br /><br />EAT CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP again!Monica Burnshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13801472688555176112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648190206974339450.post-67793018265576880952009-11-05T15:09:41.577-05:002009-11-05T15:09:41.577-05:00LOVE a good grovel.

I remember being so pissed reading Anne Stuart's Ice Blue because the hero was a total alpha jerk (but in a good way) and the whole time I was thinking, "I can't wait for the grovel. This one's got to be gooood." I felt so cheated when I didn't get my grovel. For me, that was supposed to be the climax of the novel, catching the bad guys was secondary to that. In the end, while I enjoyed the rest of the book, it really felt like something was missing. Over the top alpha heroes need their moment of redemption! IDK if I'd enjoy Ice Blue so much if I re-read it, knowing the hero wasn't going to get his grovel on.<br /><br />So glad to read that you're feeling better. I always tend toward costume dramas when I'm recuperating.<br /><br />Off to read SMTB and Katibabs' posts!Reneehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15408227410388147148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648190206974339450.post-9383540616737989502009-11-05T14:23:01.565-05:002009-11-05T14:23:01.565-05:00"Moving my hips like yeah..." ;P
Double..."Moving my hips like yeah..." ;P<br /><br />Double Standards is always a book that I will absolutely love. It's one of my favorites by JM. You're correct too because nobody writes grovel the way JM does. I haven't read the NR book that you talked about but I'll put it on my list.<br /><br />I would think that authors would like a B grade than a D or an F. B is a good grade dammit!Rowenahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15472559027348735571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648190206974339450.post-16423216732834409582009-11-05T13:30:14.680-05:002009-11-05T13:30:14.680-05:00I've had <b>readers</b> lambaste me over B gra...I've had <b>readers</b> lambaste me over B grades. "How dare you grade that book a B! I loved that book oodles and obviously you are a moron for not thinking it's the bestest book eva!"<br /><br />Sigh.<br /><br />Which is why I have a general review guidelines post up on my blog. B = good. No, really. B = good. It just didn't have that "A-ha!" moment that makes a keeper. And sorry, I'm one of those readers who doesn't think every other book she reads is a keeper. 'Tis only the truly special ones. Says me.<br /><br />Glad to hear you're starting to feel better!Wendyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12485867264936716806noreply@blogger.com
