You know a book is bad when.....
I promise, this will be the last one...
You know a book is bad when the main character is your go-to example when describing the concept of a Mary-Sue to others.

You know a book is bad when the only character you remotely like is actually a rapist. I know how horrible that sounds but it is true. 
When you create a 'refuse-to-read' shelf, just to make sure you don't read the sequels.

You are definitely not the only one! Both Abbie and I are struggling with this series. Rose is so freaking annoying!
Mod
Honest question, why don't you give it up? I mean, if you're not enjoying it, why put yourselves through it?
Mod
a couple of weeks ago, and it bugged me all night that I hadn't read the rest of it. had to read it the next day!
Hopefully after going through this rubbish series, we'll get a good book!
Mod
as well.
You know a book is bad when the author feel the need to remind you twice a page how hot, attractive or/and mysterious and intriguing the love interest is. Yes, I'm talking about books like
or every Abbi Glines books I've read.Also, you know a book is bad when the love interest always acts like a dick but it's not a big deal because he's so ''protective'', ''caring''translation: whiny, possessive, obesessive, controlling.
You know a book is bad when the love interest is so hot that every single female on earth find him attractive (lesbians too because he's just so ''hot''!) and look at him when he's in the room. Again, I'm talking about books like Obsidan or A.B. books. No one is that attractive.
You know a book is bad when you feel like you're only reading it because you already paid for it.
Mod
You know a book is bad when you are like me when I do this:*Reads the book and less than 2 chapters later you put it down*
Me: I'll read it later
*Sees it on the shelf a few days later. Picks it up and opens it for just a second and puts it back again.*
Me: Yeah... no.
*When you get to choose between that book and your science book and you say...*
Me: Science book. Studying seems much more entertaining than this.

You know a book is bad when... you forget it exists until you see it on your shelf or table after a few weeks.
You know a book is bad when.. you start talking about teletubbies and who's still on cbeebies instead of talking about the book.
Mod
when you want to go back to the bookstore just to slam this book in the cashier's face --with the receipt, of course-- and tell him/her, "Give me a refund and no one gets hurt."
Mod
Haven't read Allegiant yet, because SOMEONE STUPID SPOILED ME IN THE END!!! But I'm still planning on reading it.
Mod
You know a book is bad when u finish the book and forget about it until someone brings it up , and then u r like "oh ! Ya I read that one and I slept a lot during it "
Sarah wrote: "Ha ha! One of our mods did that with allegiant!"Just finished Allegiant! Veronica has a huge issue with typos xx
You know a book is bad when it you have already read more than 50% of the book and there's still no progress in solving the mystery/problem. For example, The Lake of Dreams by Kim Edwards. I stopped reading it after I have read more than 50% of the book. It's gotten boring too. Just my opinion. :)
Mod
You know a book is bad when doing homework seems appealing.
you are laughing at all the most dramatic moments.

When the main male character has no distinguishing features apart from his hotness and body
Victoria wrote: "When the main male character has no distinguishing features apart from his hotness and body"And how ''mysterious'' he is. And let's not forget he has a very ''dark and tragic past''.
So pretty much 2/3 of New adult books lol.
I mean, some of them are good must it's almost the same characters/story is every single one of them I've read. The main charactor is so ''hot'' that he turns gay women hetero and everyone keep staring at him when he enters a room.

Oh yes, sorry, forgot the mysteriousness. And of course he's never human either, but the main girl always works that out straight away, even though everyone has lived in this small town together for years.
Gosh, NA books annoy me for that reason... The genre is too clichè, there is always a dark past, a bad boy, physically flawless characters. Gaaaaah!
The only reason you're not giving up on a book is because then it won't count in the challenges...
You leave the bookmark in but really you're reading something else
When you start laughing at serious moments
When your eyes hurt from rolling them so hard.
You know a book is bad when you cut it short.
You feel dragged towards the ending :/
