I wouldn't pick a book that mentions those words, not in a million years. I probably have more, but those are the main ones. Now, if I read royalty, retelling, prince/princess, fantasy, anything related to the Victorian era... GIVE ME THAT BOOK, please! ♥ ahahaAntonela Ríoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08878672692662862092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271446653985249536.post-24086828212935489882017-12-28T22:56:52.467-06:002017-12-28T22:56:52.467-06:00One buss word that immediately has me dropping a b...One buss word that immediately has me dropping a book like a hot potato---multiple POVsLisa Richards/alterlisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00347858402988565314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271446653985249536.post-74481623434639181792017-12-28T18:53:54.618-06:002017-12-28T18:53:54.618-06:00I agree with some of these, and I never want to re...I agree with some of these, and I never want to read about WWI, WWII, the Civil War, Vietnam, Amish love, etc....John Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14692188725616854777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271446653985249536.post-87859189651322313192017-12-28T17:24:55.672-06:002017-12-28T17:24:55.672-06:00HA!

Wolves or alpha, too. Not interested in sports stories unless it's just a side of the character. Romance isn't my favorite, either, so when the author says "he deepened the kiss" it makes me roll my eyes!! <br /><br />Words that make me put it on my list immediately - ghost, haunted, or anything spooky.SavingsInSecondshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02404603390750472628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271446653985249536.post-9658016810887310052017-12-28T12:14:44.438-06:002017-12-28T12:14:44.438-06:00You'd get along with my coworkers.
