Feature & Follow #18

Posted 2 November, 2012 by Linda @ (un)Conventional Bookworms in Feature and Follow / 0 Comments

YAY it’s Friday!

Gain new followers and make new friends with the Book Blogger Feature & Follow! If this is your first time here, welcome! You are about to make some new friends and gain new followers — but you have to know — the point of this hop is to follow other bloggers also. I follow you, you follow me.

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 meet more new bloggers!

What sets this Hop apart from others, is that our hosts feature two blogs. Every week they will each showcase a Featured Blogger, from all different genres and areas. Just remember it is required, if you participate, to follow both their featured as well as our lovely hosts as a courtesy. How do you follow someone? Well, if you have a preference, state it in your #FF post. A lot of blogs are transitioning to WordPress in which we do not have the luxury of GFC, so an RSS subscription is appreciated or if you want to, you can choose an email subscription, linky, networked blog or bloglovin. If you followed me by GFC on my blogspot blog, I’d love it if you can find another way to follow me now.

As you can imagine, this is a great way to get to know your fellow bloggers better, as well as a way to find new blogs, and be seen by more people yourself.

Now, on to this week’s question

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

Bad editing and faulty grammar and spelling is a deal breaker for me in a book. Another huge pet peeve of mine is when an author uses another language in their writing, and then get everything wrong. It really shouldn’t be that difficult to hire an editor, or to get someone who speaks fluently French/Spanish/German to take a look at things and get them right!

What about you? What is your deal breaker?

Thanks for stopping by, have a fantastic Friday and a wonderful weekend!

    I couldn’t agree more.. I really love it when a girl is swooned in a different language, but if they’re not getting it right then what’s the point?!

      Thanks for stopping by Ashley 🙂 It really doesn’t make me swoon if the hero is calling the heroine a guy in the way he’s calling her ‘honey’ *grin*

    I don’t speak another language, so I have never encountered another language in a book that was obviously wrong. But i can’t help but wonder why an author would bother if they don’t know the language. That seems like the most idiotic mistake a writer could make. Wow.
    Great answer.

    Bad editing is totally annoying; I have to say I like when I find sentences in other languages – of course if they are written wrong there’s no point. I’m currently studying languages so finding sentences in other languages and understand them is really exciting – especially when I find Italian/latin quotes in english books! LOL

    Thank you for stopping by!

      🙂 imagine when your Italian / Latin is good enough to see that the author actually has no idea… then, I just don’t get why do it at all, you know?
      Thanks for taking the time to come by today. Have a wonderful weekend.

      Thanks for stopping by Amanda 🙂 I usually finish a book even if the editing is bad, but I have trouble giving it a good rating and a positive review.
