Top Ten Things That Will Make Me Instantly NOT Want To Read A Book

Domestic violence masquerading as romance
Asshole or stalking romantic interest
Good girl corrupted by the bad boy
Stupid incompetent female lead who thinks with her cooch
‘hot billionaire’ romance
‘baby daddy’ romance
Books written by men about men with only token/ badly written women
Fantasy novel with team full of men ie Lord of the Rings but a shittier imitation
Really bad cover
“This girl’s life was SO BORING until she met the resident hot guy”. Girls in stories who need boys to come change their path for them. I like girls who change their own destinies like Katniss when she volunteered for the Hunger Games. Imagine if Peeta or Gale put her in that position instead!
