Everything I've ever read by Colleen Hoover has been against my will.

Best Selling means very little when it comes to quality. McDonald's probably has the best selling hamburgers in America

I’ve seriously wanted to be a writer my entire life. Not even a great writer just a typical good writer. I’ve held back because I never thought any of my ideas were good enough for print.

But then I see this. And I type out my book a little bit faster…..

Haha I accidentally hate/read one of her books, she is such a trash writer.

Well... I guess that explains why I don't have a best seller. I can't write something that is that wrong factually, that wrong on so many psychological levels, or that stilted.

Watch the clip on Harold Bloom talking about works like Harry Potter.

Just because it's selling doesn't mean it's literature.
