Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
May 30: Things That Make Me Instantly NOT Want to Read a Book (what are your immediate turn-offs or dealbreakers when it comes to books?)
This was much more difficult for me than last week’s list about things that are instant buys. I really will read almost anything. So, I had to cut this to a “top five” list.
1. Horror- this is the one genre I really don’t read
2. Child abuse
3. Crudeness that is more for shock value than contributing to the story
4. Whiny protagonists
5. Spelling and grammatical errors
Oh my goodness, I can’t stand whiny protagonists! Ugh. Just grow up already.
Happy TTT!

I don’t read about child abuse either.
Here is my Top Ten Tuesday post.
