1. Weirdly spelled versions of otherwise normal names; I couldn't get past Celaena's name in the Sarah J Maas books.
2. In romances, describing people's actions or characteristics as "masculine" or "feminine." Like "her feminine scent wafted over to him" or "his masculine hand." It's lazy, unclear and perpetuates gender stereotypes. Pass.
3. Even if the prose is technically good it shouldn't be there if isn't relevant to the story. Nothing makes me skeptical about the profoundness of the text as much as the author trying very hard to be profound.
4. Character-centric morality. I get very tired when the protagonists and antagonists do almost exactly the same thing but the antagonists are evil and everyone is horrified at stuff they do while the protagonists are fine.
5. Women are technically bisexual and have sex with but don't form deep relationships with other women. Men usually get to appreciate this act but are never bi themselves. Very annoying.

1. Read more nonfiction
2. Review every book I read
3. Don't be a wimp- DNF books you want to DNF instead of powering through. It's not the end of the world.

i am going to start 'The clockwork Angel'. if you want to buddy read, lets get in touch."
Are you talking about Cassandra Clare's Clockwork Angel? If so I might be interested.
