J.K. Rowling's new book "The Casual Vacancy". |
I also found a book I want to read. J.K. Rowling's "The Casual Vacancy" came out yesterday, Thursday, September 27th, 2012, and she is the whole reason I ever thought that I would be able to write one day. So, naturally, I want to read this book just because it's hers. Unfortunately, there are many people reading it, or not finishing it, and giving it bad reviews for the most ridiculous reasons. Someone bought "A Casual
Vacancy" and returned it because it said the "f-word". Now, I don't know about you, but I
know for a fact that the Harry Potter books WE (Americans) read were different
than the copies in London.
Why, you may ask? Because it used many words that we, as children, were not likely
to know the meanings of (Philosopher's Stone, for example). THIS novel, on the other hand, is coming over here untouched and unchanged, so all the words they are reading, we get to read. However, back to my original statement, people returned
it for the f-word. Really? Are we that touchy as a country that we can't handle
swear words in ADULT novels? (Yet we read garbage like "50 Shades of
Grey".) I don't understand it. I truly don't. Calling that trashy for
curse words, yet reading porn? I just don't get it.
Also on the subject of J.K. Rowling, during an interview this week, she was told something not so great, to which she responded in the best way ever:
J.K. Rowling herself. |
Interviewer: "Unfortunately, your world record for selling the most books was over taken by '50 Shades of Grey'."
J.K. Rowling: "Yes, imagine how many copies I would've sold if Harry was a bit more creative with his wand."
J.K. Rowling: "Yes, imagine how many copies I would've sold if Harry was a bit more creative with his wand."
Which is another reason for me to love this woman, however, I'm turning my blog about my dolls and daily activities into a rant, lol. Forgive me. >w< I'm passionate sometimes. Lol. Plus I just love that woman. She truly did make me feel like anything was possible... Though, I am one of those odd children who actually read the Harry Potter books from 1997 (I was 5) forward. I've even read her biography. Lol. She's a pretty cool person to look up to. :)
But, any-who, back to dolls. Lol. Working hard on making fall clothing because I am just so excited that it smells like Samhain/Halloween/All Hallow's Eve outside already. >w< It's making me want to get a blanket and some coffee, grab a book, snuggle with Kole and the girls, and read while listening to the leaves blow off the trees. Keep a weather eye on my store if you're excited for the Yo-SD sized clothing coming out. There will be some up in the store very shortly indeed. :)
On the topic of VOLKS News, if you wanted to know anything about those three new girls I was talking about in my last post, check out here: VOLKS JAPAN English Site (NOT VOLKS USA) to help you with that information. They've updated it just a tad, but a little goes a long way for those who are excited. :)
Well, thank you once again for joining me. :D
Until next time,
