I was really irritated the other day when I saw a book that was the subject of a big book event on the 4th floor at the bookstore. Only big important authors get to be on the 4th floor. This was a children's book and this almost never happens. The first few pages of the book were working okay but the book fell apart after that. It was awful. Why was the book getting attention? Why was the author getting to do an event on the 4th floor? Because she was somehow related to Obama. Grrrr. I'm sooooo sick of this whole celebrity thing. And now it's applying to politicians...and their family... and distant relatives.
Will it ever end?
The plugs and publicity tend to follow the already easy cash cow :)
