trans Feature & Follow #121
The Feature & Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee of Parajunkee’s View and Alison of Alison Can Read. Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it’ll allow us to show off more new blogs!
 
How does this work? First you leave your name here on this post, (using the linky tools — keep scrolling!) then you create a post on your own blog that links back to this post (easiest way is to just grab the code under the #FF picture and put it in your post) and then you visit as many blogs as you can and tell them “hi” in their comments (on the post that has the #FF image). You follow them, they follow you. Win. Win. Just make sure to follow back if someone follows you!

Question of the week:
What is a deal breaker for you in a book? For example, do you abhor love triangles? Or can’t deal with bad editing?

I cannot stand a weak, spinless, no self esteem, wishy washy can’t make up her damn mind, heroine. They drive me nutz! I just want to smack them. Luckily there arent too many of these.

    Ugh this is one of my pet peeves too! A heroine like that and you almost want her to fail.

    Yes. No. Yes. Maybe. LOL Very true! A weak main character that can't make up her mind is irritating.

    Thanks for stopping by!

    Agree 100%! Female characters should be courageous independent thinkers so they can be good role models for little girls.

    Yeah, characters are important too. Especially the heroine or the main protagonist. But I've never dropped a book because I didn't like the heroine before, maybe because I focused more on plots? ;)

    Thanks for commenting and following! Followed back :)

    Hi, thanks for stopping by! I love your look as well, the red and dark colors are beautiful :)
    I totally agree on your bookish deal breaker. I love books with kick-ass heroines, but the boring, whiny type? No thanks.

    I agree. I want a character to me strong willed and know what he/she wants and go for it.

    If the heroine starts out weak and spineless, but then grows -- I can take that, but otherwise I agree! Thanks for visiting. New follower...

    I completely agree. I like to read books for string heroines. I get sometimes they become boggled down with stuff but if everyone is always saving them even if they can save themselves and stuff? bleep that. So aggravating. Great point, thank you for stopping by my blog and following!!! Happy Reading!!! New Follower!!

    I prefer books with heroines who know their minds and even if they don't, their life choices don't revolve around two guys! However bad editing ruins books for me more, as I give up on books that sound great otherwise. Thanks for visiting my blog, following back!

    So true! A character like the one you described shouldn't even be called heroine in the first place. The protagonist must be the strongest character in the story, the most interesting, appealing.

    Great answer! Weak heroines are also a pet peeve of mine - sometimes I wonder if we females are that annoying!
