While I am waiting for people to get me information so I can do what they asked me to, here's a question that I may or may not have asked before, but can't remember; sort of a version of ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rachelmanija's Cool Bits post: what things/characters/plots/settings/etc. will incline you to read a book? What has the opposite effect on you: what do you dislike so much that it takes many enthusiastic recommendations from people whose opinions you trust to get you to read it?
For me, likes/cool bits: girls disguised as boys, arranged marriages (especially when the female part of the match isn't a spunky princess who runs away to avoid it), gruff, cranky male characters with a secret heart of goldor at least not completely dark (er, see most my male anime faves Hiei Kenpachi Sanzo Manji I AM LOOKING AT YOU :D).
Dislikes: Dragons. I am so allergic to them that it takes multiple recs for me to pick something up with a dragon in it or on the cover. Naomi Novik's books are one - it took me forever to pick them up. Same with Alison Goodman's Eon: Dragoneye Reborn. Elves. Political scheming. Save The World.
There's lots more, but I'd rather sit back and read all your comments, as I am barely awake right now.
