foolish ones ୨୧ ˙ discussion

Hi! What are your pet peeves in books?
Mine:
1. when the book is different in different country’s (example: the US version of beachread by Emily Henry is different than the UK version of beachread).
2. Real people on the cover

when your annotating the book and try to highlight it, but realise your using the wrong highlighter… and it seeps through.

non-removable stickers👎👎

Non removable stickers, when you buy a book and sometimes on the pages there are little spots, when text is blurred

I agree that real people on the cover is annoying, unless if it's done well (in my opinion), like A Little Life or Young Mungo, usually when you can't see all of their face.

when people do the dog ear thingy

putting people from the film adaption on the cover :\

when people on the cover don't look like what they're described to look like

when I find out I was butchering a character's name

CLIFFHANGERS--they can be fun sometimes but sometimes they are just unnecessary

when series' just drag on and kind of loose the plot

1. Real people in covers
2. Non removable stickers
3. Long chapters
4. When book 1 and book 2 are different in size
5. Blindingly white paper

People on the covers are so bad I just hate it

the pregnancy trope is absolute asss

long chapters are so annoying, i don’t have the attention span to read a million pages

ugly covers, bad diagramation (is ths even the word lol? but yk too much text in one page, small letters, too little text in a page, way too large letters..) and white pages:\

i hate when books mention stuff about social media it’s so cringe

Non removable stickers

some books have like “the tiktok sensation” written on it and its so gross like no i dont want people thinking i exclusively read tiktok books okay it just has good reviews.

different size books in a series, real people on the front and books in the 3rd person

non- removable stickers n real people on the covers

i have a lot but one i didn’t see was when a book you think is absolutely terrible but everyone else loves it cuz its a booktok book

when a book has "now a netflix series" or any sticker like that when you cant it off. Also when a book is terrible but people hype it up so much because its on tiktok

real people on the cover
non-removable stickers
people bending the covers/pages

I LOVE enemies to lovers but I hate it when the enemies r already lovers within a couple of chapters 😐

real people/film adaption on the cover and if books in a series don’t line up

When it’s dual pov but majority of the book is told from one of the characters pov

when the first book is paperback and the second is hardcover.

Books being different sizes even tho they in the same series! 🙄

REALLY LONG CHAPTERS.

1. Really long chapters (what is the need)
2. Half naked people on covers (people in public do NOT need to know what I’m reading)
3. Non-removable stickers.

not rly a specific book but when u look up the tropes of a book you want to read and one of them is “suprise pregnancy”……THATS NOT A TROPE ITS A SPOILER?!??
