Overused Words in the Twilight Series or Why Not Get A Thesarus, Stephanie?

I have been holding on to a list made while listening to the Twilight series on audio book late last year. The list is made up of THE MOST overused words by Ms. Stephanie Meyers. I understand that there are rules for YA fiction, but really!

Here they are:

1. fierce--fiercely

2. incredulous--incredulously

3. anxious--anxiously

4. grimace--grimaced

5. glower--glowered

6. spluttered

7. pursed

8. infinitesimally

9. wearily

I'd also like to add that the series was awful! With the exception of the last book, Breaking Dawn, where Bella seems to grow a spine and actually manages to become a somewhat likable character...too bad it took three books to get her there.
