Hi folks!
Today, I would like to share with you my bookish pet peeves. Though I love reading and books, there are still a few things that put me off.
Love triangles!
There are a few well-played love triangles. But I will most likely not read a book if it has a love triangle. I especially do not like if the main character develops a feeling to love interest #2, when he/she is still with love interest #1. Or when the main character is still with love interest #1 but started “noticing” love interest #2 because the main and love interest #1 are kind of "not in good terms". Do you get me here, folks? Haha! Seriously, love triangles need to stop!
Different covers/height of books in a series
I do like my covers to match. They look very pretty in shelves, don’t you think? If books are cheaper, I wouldn't mind the difference because I can repurchase. But nope! Books aren't cheap at all.
Uniformity is important. Well, at least in this case. Haha!
Completely irrational characters
I do not like characters who act based solely on emotions. I will most likely find them annoying. A balanced play of rationality and irrationality is the key both in books and in reality. Okay? Haha!
Spoilers!
I don’t like spoilers because they can affect my reading experience. If I accidentally hear a spoiler about a book I’m yet to read, I will most likely not read it anymore. So yeah, no spoilers.
Folded pages/cover!
This doesn't bother me as much as the rest. But a folded or creased page/cover is something I do not want to happen, especially to my favorite books. I take good care of my belongings, you know. Haha!
-o-
That’s all folks!
What are your bookish pet peeves?
