I've been umming and ahhhing about ...OH BURN! <br /><br />I've been umming and ahhhing about picking up this book FOR EVER, but I think this was enough to make me hold off for just a little longer. It sounds lukewarm, cool concept, not so hot execution, and there are too many good books on my shelf to worry about a lukewarm book.Megshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10967657695336270359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252631163414371464.post-11262383729334182922013-04-16T18:28:07.661-07:002013-04-16T18:28:07.661-07:00I almost did that thing where I talk myself into l...I almost did that thing where I talk myself into liking the book after all. But no...it has so much unrealized potential.<br /><br /><br />Here's my thing with the bad editing. I read messy manuscripts all day. That is what I do. I do not want to be made to deal with such things in my leisure time. SO, when the copy editor doesn't do his or her job and thus forces me to care about things like typos IN MY LEISURE TIME, I take it as a personal affront. I am affronted personally.Megshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10967657695336270359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252631163414371464.post-34894016437570943732013-04-16T17:18:04.047-07:002013-04-16T17:18:04.047-07:00Sorry the book wasn't better, but I love the g...Sorry the book wasn't better, but I love the gifs you use AND the fact that you care about bad copy editing. You, my [internet-only-but-maybe-we'll-meet-in-real-life-one-day-at-BEA-or-something] friend, are after my own heart. Why don't copy editors seem to know standard English any more? And why don't they pay attention to the details they're paid to pay attention to?Megshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10967657695336270359noreply@blogger.com
