Thanks to everyone who commented last week.
Q#407: Do you think your reading tastes have changed in the last 5 years or are you still reading the same genres/sub-genres??
Six commenters say their reading hasn't change and seven of us had maybe some shift.
The last time this question was asked was SBB#198 on 4/11/2015 if you want to check answers then.
The Winner from SBB #407 comments is #10 ALINA who can make a GC choice if international or book choice from the Updated (**Finally!) ARC/Review titles or (recently updated) Love and Christmas titles - all linked near the end of the post. -- [11/16/19 I plan to add some review books this week and maybe some new Christmas and Love titles as soon as I locate the box I put them in. 10/3/20 I have set aside some books for SBB and will take a picture and add them to the list in the next week or so.
**NOTE: I do have some books set aside to add to ARC list but I forgot to take a picture. I hope to get it up for next week.
Please let me know your choice by completing the WINNER FORM.
WEEK #408
(One Question.)
BN100 asks: What word/phrase do you hate hearing??I know I don't like foul, dirty words, or explicit and base sexual descriptions. I also don't care for immature, selfish characters.
It took me a few minutes to think of phrases I don't like such as: ending a sentence with a preposition, ie. where's she at? and improper use of "I seen". And I'm not too thrilled with the phrase "the new normal". The word "hate" is one I don't use so maybe I don't like hearing that either.

The one word I can't stand is GOON. I often encounter it in romantic suspense. Of course, I also dislike any curse words in real life and my books.

ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winner!
ReplyDeleteI hate when young people call each other bae. It actually means poop in another language. Disgusting.
Swear words, Stay safe is starting to annoy me also.
ReplyDeleteI can't stand the word moist!!! I hate it
ReplyDeleteI dislike hearing "whatever". I also dislike hearing swear words.

ReplyDeleteHi Martha! Oh this is fun! My answer is going to be very silly, but it did made a lasting impact on me. In Fifty Shades of Grey, the phrase "oh my". If EVER I see that in a book in any context, I cringe.
ReplyDeleteHope you will have a wonderful week ahead!

I absolutely can't stand the "word" bigly---it just makes me cringe.
ReplyDeleteI don't like swear words or 'dirty' words. There is really no need.

ReplyDeleteCarol Luciano

ReplyDeleteI've sebt you an email with my book choice! Stay safe
I hate the word moist and there are a few more, but I can't remember them at the moment.
ReplyDeleteHmm... Can't think of a word in particular. Maybe when it comes to books it's more about repetitive words that I dislike
