I always know when my favorite authors have books coming out and I buy them but sometimes it's just not what I want to read right then so I pick up something that looks good at the moment and save my must buy for when I will enjoy it most.
Hard to pronouce names don't stop me from buying or reading a book if it's a good story.
One book I couldn't read because of names, first my ex husbands name is David and my boyfriends name is Spencer, the story in the book was well written and good as far as I could manage but the hero's name was David and the heroine's name was Spencer. I did fine until the first kiss and yuck no matter what I tried I could not get past the picture of my ex and my boyfriend in a liplock I had to put it down.
