I hate ...
jerks as heros. You know the kind I mean, I mean the ones that even though their time period "calls for it" are just plain Jerks. They start out as jerks and they end as jerks. Why are the women falling for them? Or, what's even more annoying, is when you're told Over and Over and Over again how usually they're such good gentlemen and they are always on their best behavior and yet they still act like jerks around the heroine! It wouldn't be so bad if they actually suffered something for their misbehaviour, but when they pretty much sexually harrass the woman and she does nothing to make him pay for it, it just ticks me off!
Similarly: when the heroine is whiny or a b****. Again, more for a repeated thing than anything else, it's perfectly fine to be a bit whiny every now and again or to turn on the "Evil Woman Mode" but not through the whole thing. It's as though the author thinks "the only way a woman can be a strong character is if she acts like she's a b****." I haven't come across to many of these, but when I have I put the book down faster than with the ones with jerk heros.

O.O
OMG...Someone who understands!!! D:
lol jk jk.
though I do understand what you mean.
I have come across those kind of characters before, and thank lord that they weren't the main characters. I got no idea how many times I rolled my eyes and say 'omg shut up...' Not only are the heros jerk, I also hate the fact that they think that their Always right...I mean come on, you can't always be right. Your going to mess up sooner or later. And to tell you the truth, I wish this whole thing comes true, just so I can just stand there and laugh. mad d:
Heroines...No Comment... -.-

I hate when I go to buy a book [i get all of mine from BarnesandNoble.com] and they don't have the books I want in stock. For example: Lora Leigh's breed series. I really want to read Aiden's Charity but I can't because they don't have the book in stock/carry it.
I hate it when I let someone barrow a book and return it with on cover, pages missing, and doodled on.

I hate when I make it clear to someone that I don't like the condition my books are in when I get them back after they've borrowed it, and then expect me to keep letting them borrow books. stare

I hate when people try to tell me what to do with my own books, seriously. I'm an avid bookworm. Reading is like breathing to me. Even so, unless I've paid out the nose for a hardbound copy of a book, I'm gonna fold the corners of the pages. I might even read in the tub and get page warping from the steam. I break spines, leave my books lying open face down on the table or floor and sometimes *gasp*, I've dripped something on a page.
Now, I WAY hate anyone else to treat my books that way LOL

I hate the fact that Twilight caused a plethora of crappy vampire books to hit the market; suddenly all I find are teen vampire books that are polluting the genre instead of improving it. stressed (Same happened during HP to some extent...)
Note: I'm not complaining about teen vampire books in general, I'm complaining about how it's become a fad, making it more difficult to wade through the text to find some good ones. Thank goodness for Kresley Cole!! biggrin xp heart ... not that she's what I'd call a "teen read" though sweatdrop

I hate that when I lend my books to others and when they return it to me, there's some indefinable substance in it; like a stain of some sort... stare and then they will straight out lie to me and say that it was already there when I gave it to them. stare
I just can't help but say bull. stare
