I'm a well read grad student who's bluntly honest about all things, although I try to be most honest about myself.
Contest time. A bad line contest. From any published book you've read. I'll do a week and a half for the first - possibly only - contest. Send me the worst lines you've read by 10/25/2013. I'll compile them in one post the next day, and people will be able to vote on which line they think is worst for a week. On November 1st, the line with the most votes will get cross stitched.
I'm hoping to do these one a week and post photos for a collection. What do you guys think? Have a horrible line that's been eating away at your soul? Post here.
I'll post one I promised on the first, though. I bought a cheap kit, so I'll get started today. Have fun with this one!
Feel free to share, whatever, but please remember - the only way I'll be able to keep track of the lines and votes is in one place. Here on my Booklikes blog.
ETA: Any line from any book. Dialogue, non-dialogue, whatever you think is horrible. I will not be commenting on specific lines, as not to influence voting. And please post here so if you want to delete the line, you can do so before late on the 25th/the 26th. And also so I have all the lines in one place, and it's easy to keep track of them.
