Top Ten Bookish Pet Peeves

I love this list and agree with every entry. :D

This is from a blog called Once upon a Twilight! I receive the blog update emails everyday and I love this blog! You can check them out, too, at www.onceuponatwilight.com.

Once Upon a Twilight's List (in no particular order):

1. Dog Ears - I would never do this to a book. I think no one should do this to a book. You can just grab the nearest object around you and use that as a bookmark until you get one.
2. Price Stickers - OMG these stickers are very annoying. They are hard to come off and sometimes tear into the cover. Why if the book has a bar code do you need a price sticker.
3. Borrowing books and not returning them - It hasn't happen for a while but before it would always happen to me constantly. Then I have to end up buying another copy. Why keep it if it wasn't yours to begin with.
4. Changing Cover Design - I say stick to one look, especially if its a series. We like for all the books to match.
5. Series that drag to long - Series have to come to a end at some point, so why not end it on a good note. Don't drag it out to the point that you loose your fans. We don't want to read a Soap Opera.
6. Jumping from scene to scene - Let me explain, sometimes you reading in your in 2011 then all the sudden your in 1985 then back to 2011. This drives me Bananas. You can gradually do this but not in a abrupt way.
7. PDF Files on the Nook - Ive noticed some of the pdf files Authors/Publishers send tend to be off. Either the font is to small or it has several blank pages while turning. I believe its how the pdf is saved. Also that you can't bookmark pdf files on the Nook.
8. Names I can't pronounce - I really get all bothered when I'm reading a real good book and Bam, its a name I have no clue how to pronounce or what it means. Its a bit distracting for me.
9. Cliffhangers - I know we need them but I can still complain about them, lol. Some make me throw the book when I'm done.
10. Paperback to Hardcover - Why??? If you started one way finish it that way. Now my books don't match. Remember many of us collect and love to show the books off.
