Top Ten Tuesday #31

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted over at the wonderful blog; Broke and Bookish. This weeks is : Top Ten Five Book Turn-Offs. I don't think I have many of these to be honest, so this will be quite challenging.

  1. Stereotypes: I really hate when there are characters that are just one big bundle of stereotype all in one. Ugh. There's nothing more refreshing than original characters.
  2. Erotica: I just can't deal with it. It's too cringy!
  3. Aliens: A bit of sci-fi that I can't really get along with.
  4. Excessive Romance: I love a bit of romance in books, but I can't deal with over the top, lovesick, Romeo and Juliet type of characters.
  5. Religion: It tends to come across as preachy. Not my cup of tea.

    Over-the-top romance really blows, especially when it's super unrealistic, puppy-kind of love. *barf*
    And yes, religion.

    I have no problem with aliens, but I agree with the others! I'm not that into romance books, either.

    My Top Ten Tuesday.

    Aliens are a big no no for my co-blogger! You are not alone there :)

    I'm not a huge fan of aliens, but I have read some decent books with them. Thanks for sharing!
