I'm very picky and extremely critical of most books. Makes it hard to find a good author. My pet peeves:

Repetition - keep repeating facts we already know. Keep dwelling on how someone feels.

Overly descriptive - “the expensive draperies were made in China from brocaded cotton damask in a mostly green Paisely pattern tied back with matching gold braided silk cords...

Most female characters - they are always in power and have authority, kicking ass and never wrong. Meh

Anything woke - the minute the author tries to take a dig at conservative values, I ditch it.

Rarely do I find a book that keeps me going to the end.

Spunky young women doing anything that has not been done before in that town village universe....

Men who are portrayed as thick or unaware.

Know it all children

Are characters I avoid

Insult conservative thought?

I am gone.
