This week's topic is: Bookish Pet Peeves!
*in no particular order
CRACKED SPINES
I can't stand it when the spines of my paperbacks start showing cracks from bending too hard. For the most part my books aren't too bad. A few are because they're older and what not. But every time something bends I freak!! I've had a few get damaged during travel too, it was a little heartbreaking!
BENT PAGE CORNERS
I am a bookmark person, so when I see people fold a corner to mark a page, I cringe inside! I noticed my sister doing this to one of her books and then when she asked to borrow one of mine, I just casually said not to do that and she gives me this look, like seriously?! And I'm like yes!! I'll loan you a bookmark too!
*Note, I couldn't find a picture I felt safe with so I took my planner that I use for blogging and had to demonstrate the bent corner since I couldn't actually do it to a real book!

ANNOYING HEROINES
I can't stand it when I can't stand the heroine! She's the main character here and she is definitely someone I have to like, tolerate and connect with. If she's constantly doing something to annoy me, chances are very likely that I won't be reading more from the series.
*FYI: I loved Dexter's Laboratory and Dee Dee was awesome, but Dexter would find her annoying!
INSTA-LOVE
We all either love it or hate it. It's not really one of my favorite things to see in books. I like seeing the kind of love that takes time to grow. It's one thing when a couple is already established as such at the beginning of a book, but to have heroine meet hero and then they are jumping in bed together by the next chapter...it's just a tired sigh, like seriously? But I do admit that sometimes the insta-love can be done nicely, but it's still something I sigh over!
COVER CHANGES
It's not a big thing, but it is kind of peevish. I don't like when the covers change mid-series or even very early on in the series, like book 2! 9/10 times I like the first cover or more and then suddenly it changes! And I'm like what?! Why?! Such as The Immortal Rules. I was intrigiued by the first cover and then the second one changes it and it's just kind of blah...Although sometimes the cover changes can be nice or better, but not always. Especially get annoyed when the cover changes just as the series is just about to end!
