Follow Friday is now hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee of course 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!
Q. What is your biggest Pet Peeve when it comes to books? Maybe you don't like love triangles or thin plots. Tell us about it!
A. This one was easy for me. I really hate insta-love and the over use of love triangles. It seems as if some use it as a crutch to add conflict to their stories.
Book Blogger Hop is hosted over at Crazy For Books.
Start hopping around, visiting other links in the list, meeting fellow bloggers and chatting about their blogs and books they are reading. If you aren’t a blogger, this is a great opportunity for readers to find new sites to follow and meet some new friends who enjoy reading the same things that they do!
I understand the insta-love thing. I'm kind of a romantic at heart so it doesn't bother me, but I know it does a lot of other people.

Hello! New follower. =) I completely agree with you. When a book has insta-love, I sort of feel that I've been short changed. Because, if done right, the actual falling in love is the best part.

I completely agree with the over-used love triangles! It rarely works and it is not very convincing! Old follower here! Hop on over if you have the time:

I wrote about the same thing! Insta love drives me insane. I don't mind instant crushes or connections, but don't give me a perfect romance in the first 10 pages. I want to see the relationship develop, otherwise I get sick of the perfection really quickly.
