This week's question:
Coming soon!
Follow Friday is hosted by Parajunkee and Allison Can Read. Visit either of their blogs for complete rules of the following fun!
This week's question:
"Q: What is your biggest pet peeve when it comes to books? Maybe you don’t like love triangles or thin plots? Tell us about it!"
I'm surprisingly having a difficult time thinking of any real pet peeves. I do, however, have a problem with love triangles done poorly, especially if they are introduced to cover up lack of plot. A good love triangle can bring a lot to a story, but a poorly-crafted one can kill an otherwise good book. I am also not a fan of an excessive amount of physical description of the main male characters. Don't get me wrong, I love envisioning some of the love interests as much as the next girl, but I find it irritating when every other sentence talks about some aspect of how hot he is. I want to know the guy behind the hotness.
And that's all I can think of for now!
What are your answers? Please leave a comment or a link to your blog!
Hopping through. I'm with you on good love triangles. They're hard to do well, but can be really fun. Mostly though, they're worthless.

Heehee, love triangles. Can't help rooting for one or both guys when reading. And i agree that we need something besides the hotness.

you are right a love triangle needs to be done right. I didnt so much like the bella, zsadist, phury love triangle in the black dagger brotherhood. It felt forced.

I don't like that either! The over description of the male hotness! We get it the first time that he's hot! Any repetitive followups are not necessary.

Have a GREAT weekend!

LOL! Guy behind the hotness, good point!
ReplyDeleteFollower. Come see my Friday too! Also don't miss my "The Cowboy and The Vampire Weekend!" with 5 Star Review, Guest Blog, Co-author Interview and a Signed Book Giveaway!
My biggest pet peeve is spelling mistakes. If an author won't take the time to properly proofread their book why should I take the time to read it?

I don't like love triangles done poorly. I had trouble at first but after I got going and hopping, I realize I have plenty! Just not anything especially big.

The love triangle really isn't my thing :)
