Do you have any bookish pet peeves?
haha I have a couple of them. When people don’t turn in their books to the library on time and I’m on the hold list for that item lol When it’s a romance book but they don’t really get together until the very end of the book. When a synopsis tells the whole story. This is the exact reason I never read them all the way through anymore. I just read some of the “buzz words.” Ummm let’s see, stickers on the front of the book that I can’t remove. When people assume I’m not busy because I’m reading and want to talk. I’m already NOT a people person, please leave me alone, thanks. When people dog ear when literally anything could be used as a bookmark. (I KNOW you don’t throw away all your receipts.) When publishing companies compare the book to something I love and it turns out its nothing like what they said it would be. When they compare POC to food. (I’m positive you can do better than caramel, cocoa, etc.) When there’s no POC or if there is, they only exist as the maid/villain. Having a bomb ass setting but having little to no world building. (Seriously, what’s the point?) When someone offers me historical fiction and get mad when I say that’s not my jam. (I literally say this everywhere on my blog. That means you didn’t read it at all) The miscommunication trope. (Yes I know it can happen in real life. That doesn’t make it any less annoying.) The common bookish line. (Again I know you can do it in real life, but it doesn’t make it any less annoying.)
SHOULD I GO ON? LMFAO
What about you? Do you have any pet peeves? Let me know in the comments!
Haha! Omg, all of these are so relatable! When I was in school and wanted to do my reading, I stuck my headphones in, also to drown out all the nearby noises, I could zone out and read with just my music in the background. Dog-ear pages was one I went with as well! Makes. Me. Cringe.
