#give a girl a break

I’m so pissed at myself.  I said I was taking a break from tumblr so I wouldn’t spoil my read of Kingdom of Ash.  I even set up the tag blocking to avoid it.  Let’s cut to me this morning thinking I could do an innocent check in since I missed your crazy mothers.  Instead, I see an anti-SJM post with quite possibly significant spoilers who proceeds to go on a motherf*&^T tirade about a book that no one else has seen so they could ruin it for others.  I couldn’t look away - I was stunned…and then I swear to all that is holy my laptop barely survived.   

Here’s the thing.   I know whatever Sarah has in store for us, there is going to be a LOT of hate.  People are going to lose their shit over anything and everything.  I learned that from the last 3 books she released & the reaction.  It wouldn’t surprise me in the least if there’s another cataclysmic rift in the SJM fandom.  The books aren’t perfect, but damn it, they are an escape, and they bring me joy.  Sue me.  I’m also completely fine if you hate it.  It’s your perspective, and it should be respected. 

But for fuck’s sake, at least wait until the gods damned book has been out more than a day before you spew your hate into the ether.

Thus ends the rant.  I’m sure I’ll have a meltdown after the damn book is out. It appears to be my thing now.  In truth, I’m sure I’ll really enjoy it. It won’t be perfect (see velvet wrapped steel :|), but what is these days? 

I’d love to hear perspective.  Much love to you all and hopefully, happy reading!
