@karlareynag Yes, exactly this. #100Queries

@ChrisRAlonso I like historical fiction, just wasn't interesting in the plot details. #100Queries

91. MG Mystery. Not reading anything new here. Queries can get really repetitive. You need yours to stand out! #100Queries

90. Literary Fiction. Query includes sample chapters (which goes against sub guidelines btw), and the prose isn’t grabbing me. #100Queries

It's difficult to want to read a book when I don’t know about the conflict. #100Queries

89. YA Contemporary. Goes over the premise, but nothing about what is at stake for the characters. #100Queries

88. Literary Fiction. Way too long. Premise sounds like I’ve read it before (which is never a good thing). #100Queries

87. Nonfiction. The topic is a bit overdone, so I’m going to politely stay away. #100Queries

I really need to be compelled by a premise to request material. Sometimes it doesn't matter how great your query letter is. #100Queries

86. Historical Fiction. Another topic I’m just not pulled towards. This happens a lot. #100Queries

85. Chapter Book. Not on board with the premise for this one. Simply not for me. #100Queries

@CarieJuettner I almost always request a partial first (the first three chapters). #100Queries

84. Another memoir! Strange, I don’t get queries for these often. This one is too “random life stories” rather than theme-based. #100Queries

83. MG Fantasy. This sounds soooooo cool. A fantasy premise I have truly never heard of before. Request! #100Queries

82. Historical Fiction. Didn't read an interesting hook for this one. #100Queries

81. Memoir. I’m not actively looking for memoirs, so I’m super picky with them. This one just isn’t my thing. #100Queries

Q196: Super vague F. Maybe YA? No clue. Passing either way #500queries

Q195: A F. Too traditional for me. Pass. #500queries

Q194: PB. Don't rep. #500queries

Q193: Story might be good, but I have no idea. The query was super boring and I couldn't finish it. #500queries
