Projecting my dislike of a certain person with the same name as a book character is so annoying but I'm can't help it :)Mikkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01008418560667560640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721146189441973775.post-9884966415737632442018-05-28T23:23:01.568-03:002018-05-28T23:23:01.568-03:00Oh gosh, I'm so bad at pronouncing certain nam...Oh gosh, I'm so bad at pronouncing certain names in books and it really takes me out of the story. I do think when you know someone who has a character's name and they are AWFUL, it can make you just hate the name on principle. hah<br /><br />-Lauren<br />www.shootingstarsmag.netShooting Stars Maghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16074581473656321052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721146189441973775.post-22248105468514018542018-05-28T12:09:49.381-03:002018-05-28T12:09:49.381-03:00Oh he was such a jerk!

Audio books have helped so much in that aspect though :)Mikkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01008418560667560640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721146189441973775.post-56017702051651564932018-05-25T07:11:59.678-03:002018-05-25T07:11:59.678-03:00Most fantasy names irk me, because I never know ho...Most fantasy names irk me, because I never know how to pronounce them. It makes my reading take longer than it should, as I stumble over the name every time. I have never attached any personal memory to any of the names of characters in books, but I could see why that could be bothersome.
