chesilbeach Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Also Jodi Picoult, and I realise I am in the minority there. I have read many of her books and find them all to be basically the same, sickly sweet feel good story that bores me. Always open minded though, I will still give her a try if someone recommends one of hers, but if anyone recommends Barbara Cartland, I will actively avoid them I'm with you on Picoult. I had to read two of her books for my library group, and thought exactly what you've said! If we get a third one selected, I'll try it, but won't guarantee I won't give up on it!

Pangolin Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I avoid romances, especially Mills & Boon. Historical novels - I try reading them every so often but I don't think I've ever finished one Novels written in the present tense Another thing that I don't necessarily avoid, but I've noticed that the more quotes there are inside the cover praising the novel, the less likely I am to get past the first few chapters.

ladyofshalott Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I avoid most Young Adult books, especially if they're supernatural ones. All of the covers look the same when you walk down the aisles in the bookstore! I know there are good ones but it's so hard to find them... I also avoid all of the BDSM erotica books that have come out in droves since the release of 50 Shades of Grey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
