orphans

Yes, I hate orphans. No, I do not hate orphans. I am just getting sick and tired of them being in stories.  I recently read a book called Extraordinary. It was a fairy book and to be honest not that great, but I want to champion it because the main character is not an orphan or being raised by somebody other than her parents.    That is one of the things I hate about genre fiction, once something works. Everybody and their mother has to try to write a book with it. Oh well. I had actually planned on going off on some political rant, but I do not have the energy.
