Do you ever pick up a book at the bookstore that looks promising, read the back, and then intend on buying it until you see that one thing. That one thing that ruins it all. That's the thing I'm going to talk about today. The Bookish things that I'm a Grinch about AKA things that make me put down a book right away. A Helpless Female MCMy biggest and #1 Pet Peeve when it comes to books is when the main character is a girl who can't do anything by herself, and needs a guy to help her with everything. Twilight is a good example of this, as every time I thought Bella might come around and pull herself together she fell back down and needed Edward to come to the rescue. GROSS. Slut ShamingDon't even come NEAR me with female main characters who think they are better than other girls because they don't sleep around or are a virgin. In Zenn Diagram the MC even slut shames her three year old sister. Stuff like that really makes me resent a character and makes it hard for me to sympathise with them overall. Drama because of MiscommunicationClearly I'm not as much of a Grinch about this one as about the previous ones, seeing as The Selection series is definitely guilty of this on multiple occasions and it's still one of my favourite series. It did have me screaming "JUST TALK ABOUT YOUR DARN FEELINGS FOR ONCE", which is never a good sign. Those are my biggest book pet peeves! What are yours? Let me know!
