Here are my Book Turn Offs. They are not all deal breakers, but they will definitely keep me away from a book or author, specially because there are so many awesome books out there.

The theme for today is:
Biggest Book Turn-offs
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
Authors Behaving Badly
I do not want to get too much into it. But authors that disparage reviewers online for not enjoying their books or "not getting" them, only accomplish one thing for me. They make sure I will never read their books.
Repetition Repetition Repetition
Too much repetition kills me! It makes me feel patronized by the author =/
Too Descriptive
When you get to the end of a book and the author is still describing characters that were already described before, that's is TOO MUCH! coffAFFLICTIONcoff
Badly Written Characters
When a character is well written and compelling we as reader can pretty much accept almost anything. But when you don't really care about the character and he/she does something awful and out of character it is an incredible turnoff.
Bad Covers
Now, this is not a deal breaker, but when shopping for books, specially books by authors you are not familiar with, the cover DO matter.

**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.
OOh nice ones! I agree with those as well too! I kind of stuck with more turn offs within the writing!
