Hater’s Anthem by Infinity Song I love the way it feels to be a hater Something so sweet about thinking that I'm better Just to wake up every morning Lay in bed and somehow never, ever rise to the occasion Or even hold up under pressure But we all know that it doesn't even matter If I waste away and no one thinks I'm clever Just as long I've got my ego And it tells me I'm superior I could probably go a lifetime Being barely mediocre I'd still convince myself every time that I'm better Recommended Reading: Urban Fantasy: Lana Harvey, Reapers Inc. series by Angela Roquet Georgina Kincaid series by Richelle Mead Sin series by KF Breene Guild Hunter Series by Nalini Singh Paranormal Fantasy: Sweet Pea series by Kathryn Moon Sins series by Eve Silver Beast Mate series by Milana Jacks Midnight Breed series by Lara Adrian The entire Dragons universe by Katie MacAlister Contemporary Romance: The Brown Sisters series by Talia Hibbert Skip and Loafer by Misaki Takamatsu If You’ll Have Me by Eunnie Gap Papa by Utakata Yakuza Fiance Asuka Konishi She Loves to Cook, She Loves to Eat by Sakaomi Yuzaki Highlander/Historical Romance: Nvengaria series by Jennifer Ashley The Spellmaker duology by Charlie N Holmberg The Finishing School, Delightfully Deadly, Parasol Protectorate, and Custard Protocol series by Gail Carriger The Husky and His White Cat Shizun by Meatbun Though I Am Inept Villainess by Satuki Nakamura Sci-Fi/Fantasy Romance: The Other World’s Books Depend on the Bean Counter by Yatsuki Wakatsu The Prince’s Dearest Guards by Beau Van Dalen Pass the Monster Meat, Milady by Chika Mizube Ten Ways to Get Dumped by a Tyrant by Gwijo Seo Non-Fiction: Bonnet Rippers: The Rise of the Amish Romance Novel by Valerie Weaver-Zercher Issued: JR Ward by Elia’s Diamonds Meet Officer Friendly by Jessica Pryde Fanfic Followup by Kate_Nepveu Music: HOLY MOLY by Shane Ivers
