Suggested by John :
How about a chance to play editor-in-chief? Fill in the blanks:
__________ would have been a much better book if ______________________.
I was a bit expecting for “Who is your favorite supporting character” but instead we get to sound uppity and opinionated. 🙂 Once again I can’t limit this to just one.
While I do somewhat agree with Melody and various others with similar opinion, I do think that some tweaking would have made some books better, at least to me.
The Amber cycle would have been much better (not to mention thicker :)) if the sisters had had a shot at the thrown, too.
Ekeke’s Star Brigade would have been a much better book if it had had an actual editor.
Peters’ Curse of the Pharaohs would have been a much better book if it hadn’t had the mandatory start of a romance.
etc
I’d better stop now. 🙂

Favourite supporting character would be a fun one!
I haven’t read any of yours…

I too think favourite supporting character was in order! Infact I have hell lot of those than the main ones!
Here is my BTT post!

My sources of frustration are usually the books where it seems like someone suddenly acts out of character just so the writer can get another book out of the series, another sex scene out of the book, another twenty pages out of the book, etc.

I haven’t read these either – I think I’ll give them a miss. Perhaps supporting characters will come up in another question – one to think about.

I haven’t read the books you’d like to change. I changed Romeo& Juliet…I think it may have ruffled some feathers. I didn’t take this as seriously as some, it is just for fun right?

Ah…I think you’ve suggested a great topic for next week’s question! Hopefully the moderator will think the same. 😉 I haven’t read any of your list so I can’t comment. Happy BTT!

Thanks for stopping by!
Heather, I’m also frustrated by the same things but lately I haven’t encountered them so much. Maybe I’m getting better at picking out books that I like.
