This was a fun tag! I agree with quite a few of these as well! Going to have to do this tag when I have time next!!
ReplyDeleteFun! Straight up romance isn’t for me either.
ReplyDeleteI agree...NOPE to love triangles, romance books, MC's obsessed with their crush, and Cassandra Clare. Not only does she keep writing the same thing, she nicks all her plots from other authors! I'll be doing this tag once I get everything answered.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, America Singer. Has to be one of the most annoying main characters ever. The girl worked my last nerve.
ReplyDeleteBella was one of the most bland love interests I've ever read. I never could understand why she had two guys coming to blows over her.

Everything about Twilight and The Mortal Instruments is NOPE.
