Another Pet Peeve
A short (but maybe not so sweet post) today! :-)
A pet peeve of mine: when an author says his or her book will make me feel X way (for example, will make me laugh or cry or forget all my troubles, or fall in love with the characters). Uh, no. In these cases, I've found that my experience is usually the opposite and the book is so badly written I can't get far.
Maybe I'm in a minority, but I don't like being told how I'm going to feel about something I have no idea about. Just give the blurb and leave it at that. :)
