Anita Blake Dislikes

Sunrises. "I hate sunrises. They mean I've overscheduled myself and worked all bloody night."

Being called a 'china doll'. "A very ex-boyfriend once described me as a little china doll. He meant it as a compliment. I didn't take it that way."

To be caught in a lie. "I stared at him, anger coming in a rush. I hate to
be caught in a lie."

Gloves. "They make me feel like I'm touching the world through a
curtain."

Threats found amusing. "I hate it when people find my threats amusing."

Wasted threats. "I hate to waste a really good threat."

Staring at her gun. "I started to sweat under the sweatshirt, but if I took it off, people would stare at my gun. I hated that."

Flying. "I huddled against the side of the helicopter, one hand in a death grip on the strap that was bolted to the wall. I wanted to use both hands to hold on, as if by holding very tightly to the stupid strap it would save me when the helicopter plummeted to earth." "I don't like to fly."
