You are the last person I think of as being grumpy here! You are always humorous in your dislike and probably more fair than many of them deserve. ♥
Also, when I was a children's librarian and involved in book awards and things, there were books I had to read for both, and that feeling with the dratted author you didn't like even though, yes, ok, they're fine and you can see why people think they're good, brings out ANOTHER 400+ page thing and you ARE going to have to read the damn thing. Again. So when a book club lands on something you had cheerfully decided you did not need in your life, it's very unfair. You are entitled to grumble.
