I never really thought about it but you are right. That happens a lot and it is a bit ridiculous. Thanks for sharing.<br /><br />Also, I am giving away a Kindle or Nook on my blog if you are interested. The contest ends in 2 days!<br /><br />Crystal @ <a href="http://www.yasociety.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">YA Society</a> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03335427276116292574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3593764416339527990.post-38213601587847262882012-10-27T16:01:48.815-07:002012-10-27T16:01:48.815-07:00Awww you're too sweet!

Thanks for stopping by my blog and co...Hi, Vonnie!<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting on my Book Blogger Hop post!<br /><br />OMG. You see what I mean about not being able to limit myself to only THREE favorite blogs? I really should have included yours in the list, because you have OUTRAGEOUSLY AWESOME blog design, and your posts are GREAT!! So guess what? I'm editing my post in order to include your blog. Yes, indeed!! <br /><br />I love Shelfari and Goodreads as well. (What obsessed bookworm doesn't?) As for the blogs you've nentioned, I'm not familiar with them, so I'll have to take a look.<br /><br />As for your 'pet peeves' in writing, I agree with you, except that I don't mind the use of 'instant love' quite so much, unless, as you say, it's not handled well by the author in question. But I'm a HUGE sucker for that kind of thing! You see, I'm a hopeless romantic...sigh...<br /><br />You are SO right, though, about a female character falling in love with a male character strictly based on looks. (Although that's mostly how I fell for my husband, lol.) It does seem a bit shallow. On the other hand, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder", as the saying goes. I MUCH prefer Pierce Brosnan as James Bond, instead of Daniel Craig, but there are women out there who would say the opposite. Go figure...<br /><br />I'm heading out the door in a few minutes, but you can bet your bottom dollar I'll re-edit my post later today to include your blog!! : )Maria Beharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635809880830316283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3593764416339527990.post-29638740007261053742012-10-26T20:21:44.670-07:002012-10-26T20:21:44.670-07:00I'll keep your name in mind.

And I am seriously addicted to Shelfari!<br /><br />I have always said that I do not like it when teen and child characters are not age appropriate. When a teen talks like an adult or a child says things that a child would never say. I rally don't mind when a book has a snotty, angsty, teen with an attitude because at least it is true to life, LOL. That is one of my pet peeves in books.Wall-to-wall bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08866065085086660318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3593764416339527990.post-16133165638290529562012-10-26T16:39:58.986-07:002012-10-26T16:39:58.986-07:00Going to have to check out the two blogs you ment...Going to have to check out the two blogs you mentioned...thanks.<br /><br />I like Goodreads better than Shelfari these days.
