Irregular book size because you just want your bookshelf to look nice and there are books sticking out every where, I'm fine with a thick book but not an ultra tall one.

12. Preachy Authors

“Proselytizing has no place in literature.”

I can’t take you seriously as an author if I believe you’re trying to win a debate with me or some other vague force out there you disagree with.

13. Bookstores that organize their books using some mystery system

If I have to look in ten places for one book I’m gonna give up and go somewhere else.

14. Weird names

I once read a book that gave its main character the name "American Singer" Not sure why it bothers me so much, but it does. It seems to me that authors (especially YA contemporary authors) give their protagonists extremely unusual names in an effort to make those characters more memorable. That’s ridiculous!

15.  Every character's appearance is described at length.

Nothing, absolutely nothing, will make me annoyed quicker than this. Maybe it matters to other readers, but I honestly don’t care what a character looks like unless it has importance to the plot
