Anything that gets in the way of the story - especially show offy language is a beef for me.

Never buy them. <br /><br />I think sometimes authors forget to rein in their plots and things just get out of control. <br /><br />I am surprised too by bad spelling and incorrect grammar. Though sometimes the author is trying to say something with the grammar itself. If you're a genius you can get away with that. Otherwise - no.<br /><br />Great list.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2263295136331930331.post-90623021247652446432011-03-22T21:16:43.804+05:302011-03-22T21:16:43.804+05:30I'm with you on blurbs and bad grammar (unless...I'm with you on blurbs and bad grammar (unless deliberate for effect), Gautami.Falaisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01296217731383114462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2263295136331930331.post-57941235502491676622011-03-22T21:10:42.010+05:302011-03-22T21:10:42.010+05:30My top bookish pet peeve has to be wrong grammar -...My top bookish pet peeve has to be wrong grammar - the worst distraction!
