what I like

Here is what I like in books:

- magic. Some kind of magic. It can be necromancy, it can be graces, it can be in the form of guilds, it can require wands or fingers or toes, but it's magic.
- length. I've come to resent any book that's less than 300 pages long for not letting me live in it long enough. I read (un?)fortunately fast though, so this is just a quirk. I've also started searching for series' or authors that write companion books so I don't have to leave a world after just one book.
- completeness. I hate reading series without the next ones being published. Of course, I can't resist, I'm waiting on the next Sweep book, the next Mortal Instruments/Infernal Devices book, the next Heroes of Olympus books, the next Curse workers books, etc, etc, etc. I just don't LIKE it.
- the people who I like MUST SURVIVE or I get upset. Sometimes if they aren't dead for very long or the dying isn't dwelt on, I can handle it by pretending they aren't really dead. No. They're not dead. Just... not showing up in the book. I think it's ridiculous to make me fall for a character and then kill them off. Enough of that in real life.
- Speaking of falling, let's have an adorable romance blossom. Yes? Yes.
