Co...I like your take on this week's topic. :-)<br /><br />Completely agree with you when it comes to Secret Keepers and Over Reactors. Especially Over Reactors. So annoying!<br /><br />The To Stupid to Live category comes up in a lot of mysteries. I love a good mystery and some of my favorite series feature characters that do the most stupid things.

Not even true geniuses can know everything. People have flaws -- and when there's an Expert in the group, they're unbelievable.

I'm a mom and I love my kids but I hate reading about babies and pregnancy in books.<br /><br />I also have to agree with the previous commenter who said the worst for her is The Cheater. That I have no tolerance for.
