Busy Reading-isms: words or phrases made up by the author of Busy Reading (blog by Sarah Elisabeth) found in the Busy Readictionary. Ex. the word you're reading the definition fro right now.
Bella Swan Syndrome: The main character of the book does not appear to be able to independently live without her boyfriend as her back bone. And she's whiny.
The Flat Line Effect: When a book gives the impression that there will be a big finale...and then nothing happens. You keep waiting and waiting but the (story) line stays unmoved, and, well... flat. I believe the real word for this is anticlimactic, but isn't Flat Line Effect just so much more fun to say?
Hipster Syndrome: a condition had by books where the writing pays great attention to how unlike other books it is; the book focuses on its own uniqueness in multiple circumstances.
