message 206: by Inês (new)

Inês | 583 comments Yeah, and I bet she doesn't know which is better, the hot one, the hot one or the hot one? XD

That's just gone down to the bottom of my TBR list! Haha.


message 214: by Ami (new)

Ami You know a book is bad when the female lead blindly follows along with obviously dangerous guys just because they're really hot.


onceuponatimeareview | 2335 comments @Ami Don't they always?


message 216: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90920 comments Mod
hell, if they're hot enough I'll go along with their dangerous plans too! Now see for Wrath in Dark Lover (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #1) by J.R. Ward , I'd go along with all sorts of bad plans!


onceuponatimeareview | 2335 comments @Sarah true.

Abi (abi_gr) | 27659 comments I'd go along with any dangerous plan if they promised me a £1000 amazon giftcard in exchange. ;)

Ooooh! Yes! Why do boys never bribe girls with interesting gifts like that?

Mei (meijey) | 3810 comments ^Actually, THAT would be a good marriage proposal and ring substitute. Haha!


message 221: by cc (new)

cc (caitlinisakittycat) I'll drink to that! "Will you marry me & this bookstore gift card!"

You know a book is bad when you keep it in your bathroom on the off chance you're trapped there with nothing better to do during a natural disaster.


message 222: by Inês (new)

message 224: by Sophia (new)

Sophia (sophia2319) | 189 comments You know when a book is bad when you want to slap, yell, scream ot all of the above at the main character! (for instance Bella from Twilight!)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90920 comments Mod

María | 2037 comments when you read 400 pages only to see the main character die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


message 229: by Sophia (new)

Sophia (sophia2319) | 189 comments When everything that happens in this book is SO SO cliché!!!


message 230: by Tati (new)

Tati You're relieved when the book ends at 85%, and the remaining 15% are teasers.


message 231: by Mira (new)

Mira When you change your policy about finishing books and start a DNF shelf just so you could get that book over with.


message 232: by John (new)

John | 1 comments You know a book is bad when you keep reading the same paragraph over and over and over again and still can't follow the plot. By the way, why would we continue reading any book if we don't like it?????


message 233: by Inês (new)

Inês | 583 comments Well, personally I don't like to leave a book unfinished, even if it's really bad...


message 234: by Mira (new)

Mira When I can feel my eyes rolling at it.

That's happening to me with These Broken Stars (Starbound, #1) by Amie Kaufman it just hasn't caught my attention and every time I'm reading, my mind just wanders.

I need somewhere to rant about the book I'm reading, I need to vent!
Finding Narragansett by Shane Morgan
her father just died and left her (his illeginate daughter who nobody in his family likes) his entire estate. i mean really?


message 244: by Abi (new)

Abi (abi_gr) | 27659 comments Did his family piss him off or something?

Imagine being his other child (if he had one?) sitting at the hearing!

"Your father leaves you.... a pen."


message 245: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90920 comments Mod
he had a daughter by his wife, and a daughter by his lover. he left his other daughter something small, then left his entire business empire to the lovers daughter.

Is it wrong that the possibility that he was murdered is the most interesting part of the book so far?


message 246: by Abi (new)

Abi (abi_gr) | 27659 comments That sounds ridiculous!

The possible murder thing does sound like the best bit.

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90920 comments Mod
oh poo, the romance is so obvious as well. of course he looks perfect naked. ick.

That's if you're reading a good book. If you are reading average ones you'll like to change the pace from time to time.

Couldn't agree more. :)


message 249: by Shelby (new)

Shelby (cs576) When you can already guess the ending when your not even half-way into the book -.-


message 250: by [deleted user] (new)

When, months later, you call another book mediocre by saying, "I didn't love it, but at least it wasn't ____________".
CODEX!!!!!!!!!!!!
