Male POV - AMEN! S...I like this list... A LOT! <br />Male POV - AMEN! Some of the best books I've read have been in the male pov. It is a fresh take on overdone plots and can change a story completely! <br />Less Love Triangles - I don't mind a good love triangle, but I can see that it gets old for a lot of people.<br />Less Series- I'm torn on this!! I don't like series bc I feel like they keep me from reading other books I really want to read, but at the same time-- before blogging I didn't have the outlet to discover sooo many books, so I was super grateful when I found a good series to invest in! <br />More Multi POV - Totally agree on this. I think some of the best stories are told this way. I develop a deeper connection when I have access to everyone's thoughts and feelings. It gives so much more dimension to the story as a whole!<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7561809063334102736.post-409640236757814322013-04-16T10:46:56.775-04:002013-04-16T10:46:56.775-04:00Great list!

Some stories benefit from having those extra two books, but it would actually be refreshing to read a stand alone story, even if it meant that the book was a little longer than the normal 300-400 pages.Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17023001440559139964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7561809063334102736.post-43511694694893550272013-04-16T04:07:10.659-04:002013-04-16T04:07:10.659-04:00I agree with some of your ideas...

Less insta-love and series would be great too. And you're right, there doesn't seem to be any happy families anymore (and if there are, they die or something).<br />Yay, love witty banter! That's one of the reasons I love Jennifer L. Armentrout's books so much.<br /><br /><a href="http://bookloverrecommends.blogspot.dk/2013/04/top-ten-tuesday-rewind-favorite-book.html" rel="nofollow">My TTT</a>Book Lover Recommendshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08957737271372845362noreply@blogger.com
