Negative Phrases
While reading book summaries, I have noticed that there are certain phrases that are used that can discourage me from reading a book or series. I cannot remember the number of times that I have started to read about a seemingly amazing book only to have certain phrases ruin it for me.
As a result, I have made a list of "negative phrases" that put me off of reading a book or series. That being said, I have had several occasions where I read books with some of these themes and find the book to be well worth it.
