I totally agree with everything!:D<br />The dumb heroines - mostly in the first book of YA Urban Fantasy series - make me wanna bang my head against the wall!<br />And the weird names - yes, they're so frustrating! A while ago, I read a book and then I listened the audio version of the following book in that series, and I was so confused! I was pronouncing all the names wrong, I thought they're new characters!LOL<br />Human imagination has its limits, so impossible sexual positions are just too much!:)) And speaking of sex in UF, another thing that annoys me (could be just me) is sex from the first pages of the book. Seriously, we don't even know the main character name but bang!they're on the floor? Or wherever they do it.:)) Chill, people, there's plenty of time do to whatever wicked thing you want!<br />And don't get me started with the covers!;)Deeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04020398462121714932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153478020914909915.post-21304426209057582302011-03-27T12:31:53.570-03:002011-03-27T12:31:53.570-03:00Love this post!

Maybe than you wouldn't want to smack her upside the head with said book.<br />The name thing can be a bit of a turn off but I don't usually pay attention to that. So you could color me surprised when I discover I've been mispronouncing a name.Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02392412277065637797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153478020914909915.post-22709551488732416582011-03-27T00:48:30.535-03:002011-03-27T00:48:30.535-03:00I hate when we have a characters name that I can&#...I hate when we have a characters name that I can't pronounce and every time I go back to that chatracters name I spend like a minute trying to pronounce their name. But I like different and unqiue characters names b/c Gabriel, Jay, etc, gets kinda boring and I may think of those names from other books I have read. I love the names Curran and Bones!!!<br /><br />Like the only way I know if I'm pronouncing a name correctly is if there is an audio book, I may listen to it and go, OMG, I've been saying this character's name wrong...like for Mencheres I had been saying it wrong, or like when we have those call-in chats and the author actually says the characters name.Mariyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15036878271711747227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153478020914909915.post-59234643435293354462011-03-26T23:10:38.510-03:002011-03-26T23:10:38.510-03:00ROFL!

I remember when I started reading PNR books and I kept trying to picture what was going on and I just couldn't. <br /><br />I don't mind all the abs though. I guess because my personal library is heavy on the YA so it doesn't seem like a lot when my UF/PNR shelf is so empty.<br /><br />And I like the way J.R. Ward does most of the names in her books. Xhex bothers me, but other than that I think the rest are okay. I'm probably just easy to please though.<br /><br />Very funny post though. :)Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18291480180265574635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153478020914909915.post-63220768508433959282011-03-26T20:31:24.908-03:002011-03-26T20:31:24.908-03:00@Avery
