Of what I hate:
People who take the time and effort to make recommendation lists on Amazon, then say things like “really good,” “sexy novel,” or “Magical. I couldn’t put it down.”
How, exactly, Ms. List-Maker, do you think you’re actually adding to anybody’s life or reading list with those vague phrases? Incredibly unhelpful. I regret clicking through to your stupid list, never mind that some of you have the SAME DAMN AUTHOR listed many times over in the same list. If I wanted that kind of list, I would check out an author’s backlist.
Not helpful, I repeat; even Carla Kelly and Loretta Chase have written duds in their day.
Okay, so this might be the most inane one I’ve seen thus far: “As soon as I started this, I couldn’t stop till I was done.”

This reminds me of the one: “The thing I was looking for was in the LAST place I looked!”
Because you keep looking after you’ve found it?
