What Are You Reading Wednesday

What Have You Just Finished Reading:
Finished the book I mentioned last week with the 'damaged' heir (born hypoxic due to the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck).  There were several plot holes and some faulty reasoning...which I've noticed as a general trend with this author.  But, I also tend to like her characters, so I'll roll with the plot holes.

It's works a bit like fanfic in a way, your mind keeps working on the stuff the text left out  (several scenes I WISH had been included), so you end up thinking about it more than something really tightly written and plotted.  It's mental 'fix it' and 'fill-in-the-blank.'   Weird how that works on your mind. (And she still needs a better editor for formatting and homophone errors, of which there were many.)   Still, I cared about the characters and was emotionally involved enough that I'm interested when the brother's book comes out in the fall.  I want the brothers reconcilliation (and will be disappointed if that reconcilliation underwhelms or doesn't pan out.)

What Are You Reading Now:
Skin Game by Jim Butcher.  The new Dresden Files book. .

"(And she still needs a better editor for formatting and homophone errors, of which there were many.)"

You're assuming she had any editor at all. Most books I read these days show that editing and proofreading are things of the past.

The mistake of having huge, huge chunks of text with underlining was a MAJOR PROBLEM. It was nonsensical.

I could take the homophone issues because, yeah, no spellcheck program is going to catch that, but the underlining should've been caught.
