You knew it had to happen. You knew that eventually, I'd hate a book so much, my bullshit meter would melt down. That I'd have to start a whole new feature here at gentle, mild-mannered Book Buds.
We're talking
CELEBRITY SMACKDOWN!
Sure, I could blithely ignore the phenomenon. I could choose not to waste precious bandwidth on their ego-driven chicken scrawls. I could hide my eyes to the wasted shelf space, the murdered trees, the hemorrhaged marketing dollars that all could've gone to more deserving authors.
But at last, my resolve cracked.
I found a book so smugly awful, so saccharine and banal, it needed taking down. And I'm just the reviewer to do it! Grrrr ...
Who will it be? A rock star? A washed-up TV "personality"? Sorry, no links and no hints.
Come back tomorrow for Book Buds' first
CELEBRITY SMACKDOWN!
You won't want to miss it.
*Snarrrrlll*
(cue heavy metal music)
Hmmm, I wonder which one it will be. Plenty of bad celebrity books floating around our apartment.

This is funny, Anne! (laughing) And I like how you leave us in suspense, give us a cliffhanger!
