(an old post, sorry! this was written before the chaotic mess that is my life came about and I'd like to say some of these points don't make me as angry anymore, but they're all still my opinion so I'd still like to share it. enjoy)
If you wanted to see part one of this post but you missed it, you can click here to take you there. It wasn't all that interesting, though, just a lot of anger.

Like, a lot.
Number Eleven.
Love triangles. Especially when it's an obvious choice.. Looking at you, Twilight.
Number Twelve.
Why is every book being compared to The Hunger Games?!?!?!
Number Thirteen.
When
authors develop a society by themselves and create conflicts and action
and all this cool, cool stuff but will do one of the two things.
They'll either give no explanation towards how the society even got that way, or any developed detail on that society.
Or,
they'll wait to the next book to solve the conflicts of this book.
Like, no, the point of series' is that it's a contiuation of the story
but the first book should do okay as a standalone. In my humble
opinion.
Number Fourteen.
When
a really strong, badass female charecter is weakened because of love.
Love is supposed to make you stronger, not make you dependent and less
of a person then you were.
Number Fifteen.
When
authors continue a series when it doesn't have much more meat to add to
the story so everything from there on out is pointless and
boring...don't drag on a series when there's nothing left, authors.
Please.
Number Sixteen.
When authors write a perfect, well-rounded person that has no flaw.
Likewise,
when a reader complains about a charecter because they are flawed and
they act like any human probably would in a chaotic situation at a young
age (Tris, guys. Tris).
Number Seventeen.
The
author pretty much telling us this person is so and so without actually
giving us any backup or proof that this is in anyway correct. Like, for
example, saying "This guy is desirable" when at no point in the entire
book did I like him, or saying "This girl is strong!" and there has been
no point in the book where she has been strong.
Number Eighteen.
When
I read something that gave no warning that it had spoilers in it. I was
doing research for this post, and BAM! Spoiler for Stephen King's
ending of "IT". I was planning to read that, it's on my bookshelf. How
in the hell do you expect me to read a 1000+ book with anticipation for
the ending when I already know it?! Man, I am fuming.
Number Nineteen.
When the ending of a book doesn't make sense, or when everything is resolved and sugary-sweet. What?
Number Twenty.
When the cover gives away wayyyy too much of the plot THANKS A LOT.
Number Twenty-One.
"Wow,
are we in a lot of trouble. Oh, lookie here! A big ball of
conicidentally placed helpful tools that are perfect for what I need to
do right in this very moment! Oh, yes!"
Number Twenty-Two.
Despite "My Sister's Keeper" being one of my most re-read books, I can't stand metaphours. Over-used metaphours, that is.
Number Twenty-Three.
Terribly written dialogue.
"Did you watch last nights' episode of Breaking Bad?"
"Yeah, pretty good"
"It was"
"Wasn't it?"
Blegh.
I do hope you enjoyed that.
You probably didn't, you probably left really annoyed by my terrible spelling and structures, and my invalid points.
But, they do anger me...it's the truth, y'all!
Yeah, bye.
