The rules are simple answer the five questions and tag five other bloggers. I'll be posting my answers below but I'm tagging everyone! Anyone can participate. Drop me a comment and let me know you've done so if you do. I'd love to see your answers
1. What are your top three book pet peeves/hates?
* Insta-love
It's unrealistic and over used. insta-attraction is way more believable.
* Overly cliche'd character types
I sometimes enjoy an adorably cliched story, but there are too many books where the highly innocent girl falls for the player bad boy with a heart of gold (that guy doesn't exist in real life btw).
The girl doesn't have to be a innocent flower to be a nice girl.

* The phrase "I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding"
How do all these people not know when they are holding their breath?
And they seem to do it a lot, for a while before they "notice". It is an over used dumb phrase.

2.Describe your perfect reading spot.
A large comfy window seat over looking a rainy woodland area,
or a cozy hammock near a beach.

I am so envious that you find the time to answer things like this. I never make the time for questionnaires like this.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you on the insta-love thing. Drives me crazy. If something must occur instantly let it be attraction or disliking someone. That seems much more realistic to me.
A hammock sounds lovely to read in, I use to have one but it was not in the shade so I did not to like to read on it.
Finally I am beyond jealous of your book shelf. I wish I could reach through my computer and grab Cress, I am super anxious to read it.
