Question: 
What is a deal breaker for you in a book? For example, do you abhor love triangles? Or can’t deal with bad editing?

Answer:  This is so easy for me to answer....BAD EDITING (or total lack of editing)!!! I hate it. I will stop reading if I find more than a few errors. My issue with bad editing is mostly why I don't read many self published books.  I actually read a book where I found so many errors, I picked up my pencil and started making corrections!!! I realized what I was doing and immediately put the book down.  I needed to be paid for editing that one!

There's not much that will make me give up on a book - but bad editing is definitely a turn-off. I haven't encountered that much though.

Good answer. I don't know that I've ever encountered editing quite that horrendous. That would certainly be a deal breaker! Wow.

Bad editing is very annoying. I show a little grace with self-published authors, but even they should know better. I hate it when your/you're or their/they're/there are used incorrectly.

Bad editing is definitely a deal breaker. I've run across books that everyone is raving about and yet I can't get past the first chapter because the editing is so bad.

Bad editing IS annoying! Especially when it's a traditionally published book. Hope you don't run into such books again!
Thanks for stopping by and following my blog, I’ve returned the favor :)
