But first, a little bit about this feature and the rules to join in…
Every Sunday I will post a TOP 5 list on the blog. It can be about anything and every week I'll have a new theme {You can vote on next week’s theme on my RIGHT sidebar!} and I will ad the Mr.Linky bellow the post so you can do a list with the theme and add you link to it.
Rules:
Write a post listing your TOP 5 choices within the theme I chose (or was chosen on a poll) for the week.
Mention this Blog on the post and link back to it.
Fell free to use the Feature's image (there is a smaller size version of it bellow)
After you've finished your post, add you link (of the post, not your blog's main page) to the Mr.Linky at the end of that week's post.
If you don’t have a blog to post, just leave your list in the comments =)
*in no particular order
Unpronounceable Names
There are a LOT of series out there with unpronounceable names, but from the top of my head G. A. Aiken's Dragon series is a big one. I don't mind the names as much if at some point we get a reference on how to say them, otherwise it's very annoying.
Rushed Endings
The Anita Blake series is the first that comes to mind. The last few books have been all about tell not show rushed ending that get on my every nerve.
Too Many Descriptions
Again with Anita Blake... This is for the series in general, but this latest book had a chance of being great, but when we get to 95% of the book and we're still getting in depth descriptions of characters we have seen before in the same book, it's enough!
Most series and books go through this and the suspense is necessary, but sometimes it gets to be too much. The Rachel Morgan series is a good example. I for one can't stand the whole Ivy/Rachel issue. Thank G-d Kim Harrison has let it go, the last few books have been much better =)
So many TSTL heroines out there! Paranormal Romance seems to have a lot of these, since authors tend to focus more on developing awesome heroes and sometimes let go when it comes to the heroines.

OOh nice! Totally forgot about the unpronouceable names! Can't stand that! I end up saying something in my head and then I later hear the author say it and I'm like, that's what it was?!
Nice picks too! Although my first two choices go with book treatment vs things that happen in books!

**As of Today, Feb 24th, This Blog is an Award Free Zone!**
I am sorry! I LOVE the awards you give me and I wish I didn't have to do this, but my blogging schedule in general has not made possible for me to follow the requirements for the awards I receive.
Because of that, I feel that this is for the best.
