Sharing Beyond Books #408 Comment Giveaway November 14, 2020

Hello again and Welcome to Sharing Beyond Books, SBB.
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.


Thanks to those who are sending in Questions. DON'T BE SHY! Surely everyone has a Q or two you'd like to ask. Input suggestions in this Suggested Question Form. At the end of each month, I draw from the suggestions I used during the month and that person will get a 1/2 book choice or $2.50 towards GC. I thank everyone for submitting questions. Thanks for sending in questions! The supply of questions is dwindling so share some if you think of any -- even if they are duplicates I'll weed through or try to modify them.

Your turn to share. BN100 asks: What word/phrase do you hate hearing??

  1. 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.

    I hate when young people call each other bae. It actually means poop in another language. Disgusting.

  6. Hi 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.

    Hope you will have a wonderful week ahead!

  11. I hate the word moist and there are a few more, but I can't remember them at the moment.

  12. Hmm... Can't think of a word in particular. Maybe when it comes to books it's more about repetitive words that I dislike
