Q: What is your biggest pet peeve when it comes to books? Maybe you don’t like love triangles or thin plots? Tell us about it!
The pet peeve I have when it comes to reading is when something is over-described or the same thing is described continuously through a book.
Mmm hmm. Redundancy does nothing to a novel. Love your blog's background btw.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekends!

I can certainly understand that pet peeve, it can get overblown.

I feel the same way about something being described over and over. I also hate when the same phrase is used multiple times.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you, dramas....

Too much description can definitely drag a book down. This is one of the main reasons why I gave up on the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I can only take so much about the hobbits walking!

Agreed!! When I was in college, I had to read Newgate Prison by Dickens (I think . . .), and it took him several PAGES to describe the DOOR! I am totally with you on this one ^_~

ReplyDeleteI can relate to this pet peeve. As much as I like Stephan King he is notorious for doing this and it really pisses me off.
ReplyDeletethank for the following. I really like you your blog and I'm following you back.
That is so annoying! You're just like, "Yes I already knew that thank you very much!" So agitating!

Bleh overdone descriptions really kill me. For example in fantasy novels where it takes four pages to describe a tree. Or the penchant for writers to continually describe how gorgeous someone is! Enough already!

I understand this pet peeve. I tend to skim the paragraphs that use too much description. It really kills the mood of a book for me.

I love well-written descriptions, but once it gets repetitive it gets on my nerves and turns me off!
