A few days ago, I posted about the little details that I enjoy in books. So, I thought I’d look at the other side and talk about the little things that annoy me when reading.
Condescending Narrators– I like a smart protagonist, but I hate it when they look down on others or talk aobut how much smarter they are then everyone else.
Anticlimatic Reveals- I hate it when an author keeps dropping hints about a big secret and then when it’s revealed it’s something that either doesn’t seem like a big deal or is predictable.
Characters that fall in love for no apparent reason- This could be instalove, or characters that just happen to have close proximity to each other.
Whiny/Entitled Protagonists– If I don’t like the main character, the book isn’t going to work for me.
Do any of these bother you? What are your book pet peeves?
