The latest scandal in the world of publishing: NBA asks Lauren Myracle to withdraw her book. Rebekah - 17/10/2011 07:24:12 PM 1288 Views
That does sound like quite an extraordinary screw-up. Camilla - 17/10/2011 07:33:56 PM 908 Views
The book obviously wouldn't have been on the list. Cut it, don't apologize, tell people to fuck off Tom - 17/10/2011 08:11:15 PM 833 Views
The quote from the blogger's father is all kinds of awesome. Legolas - 17/10/2011 10:26:52 PM 1089 Views
In fact I'm now far more tempted to read her books than Lauren Myracle's... Legolas - 17/10/2011 11:02:50 PM 992 Views

Wow, that's a great quote. I'm afraid I'm going to have to steal it now. *NM* Praziquantel - 18/10/2011 07:40:34 AM 418 Views
Yeah, I was confused that the NBA was focusing on a book and not on... itself. Gher - 18/10/2011 06:24:41 PM 1026 Views

I'm with Tom on this. Stephen - 18/10/2011 01:47:49 PM 838 Views
That's a big FU, but she didn't do the right thing either... DomA - 18/10/2011 02:23:38 PM 817 Views
That makes no sense. Why should she withdraw her book? Legolas - 18/10/2011 07:03:23 PM 971 Views
Side question- Are these awards publicly voted for, or is it some commmitee who makes the choice? Stephen - 18/10/2011 02:30:49 PM 810 Views
It's a juried award Larry - 19/10/2011 04:07:07 AM 860 Views
Like Legolas, I was thinking of the less well known NBA. Joel - 18/10/2011 04:08:18 PM 1119 Views
I think her reply should go something like this. MightyYT - 18/10/2011 08:03:23 PM 981 Views
