T...Ooh, I know what you mean about the dead parent! The amount of times where there is one is crazy. I don't mind love triangles as long as they are written well and aren't pointless to the story. I also hate when I lend books and get them in terrible condition back.Olivia's Catastrophehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706765857201768908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009771804554431731.post-14486270346618861752014-12-04T11:52:50.019-05:002014-12-04T11:52:50.019-05:00Oh, I don't find any shame in liking Twilight....Oh, I don't find any shame in liking Twilight. They were the books that got me into reading in the first place, so I owe them a lot. I just don't like the fact that so many people copied that in order to sell books, 'cause most of the time, it's really not well done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009771804554431731.post-36047685635048195352014-12-03T17:47:45.285-05:002014-12-03T17:47:45.285-05:00I totally understand!

I have not read Twilight yet (I am still scared that someone will find out and hunt me down) but I think that the love triangle was actually done well. The problem is that too many other books copied the same idea.Tessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05674560920184099297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009771804554431731.post-89558685760286182412014-12-03T07:57:59.231-05:002014-12-03T07:57:59.231-05:00YES, thank you!

It's just one of those things that sold so well during the Twilight age and now everyone's doing it.. STOP IT PLEASE.<br /><br />Also, yes on the dog-earing thing. When you borrow things, you're supposed to return them in the same state.

I had never thought of that before, but yes, it makes sense. On the other hand, the handsome-new-boy-in-town-making-the-girl-go-head-over-heels-for-him is SO overused a trope. Makes me reject a book even before I know what it's about.<br /><i>*nods to the list*</i>Roberta R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18228840429799100354noreply@blogger.com
