Top Ten Tuesday is featured by That Artsy Reader Girl. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
Topic: Things That Make Me Instantly NOT Want to Read a Book
Just want to say that these are my opinions, if you like some of these, please don’t hate me (it’s my birthday!) They just aren’t for me!
These all get on my nerves so probably won’t read……in no particular order….(and no books mentioned so not to offend!!!):
Love triangles 🤢
Billionaire romance 😫
Erotica 🥴
Horror 😨
Marketed as ‘The Next Big Thing’ 😒
Violence against children ❌️
Bad editing ❌️
Lots of filler 😕
Over flowery writing 😒
What would you have picked?
CJRTB Books 
Violence against children and animals is a big no for me as well as several others on your list. Happy birthday, Caro!

Happy birthday!!!! Great list — I do like horror sometimes (if it’s really smart and well-written), but can’t argue with any of the others. I hate the marketing bit — “the next big thing” — usually a sign that the publisher is trying too hard! 🙂

Thank you!! I think horror would give me nightmares but maybe I should try one out!!! You are so right, the next big thing normally is not the next big thing 🤣🤣

I love nearly all of these. I don’t mind a good love triangle though. I sometimes get a bit bored with the predictability of romances and a well written love triangle makes life a bit more interesting.

Happy birthday!! I think most of these are on my list too, maybe the first is the one I’d still be ok with if written well. I’m reading one now that ticks two boxes btw so I’m not very happy (review on the blog in a week or two) and it’ll translate in my rating.
