Top Ten Bookish Pet Peeves

1- Cliffhangers. (see Nightshade, Crescendo; need I say more?

2- Covers with faces who stare at you. It's pretty scary to roll over at three am, half-conscious, and see a face just staring, unblinkingly, up at you. Ahh, heebie jeebie alert!

3- Author playlists. It's one thing to thank the band, it's another to dedicate an entire page to the list of every song you've ever listened to. (see Stephenie Meyer)

4- Dog ears. Goodness gracious, how hard is it to pick up a random piece of paper and jam it in the book. Honestly, we need to ruin the page? Really?

5- Food in pages. No need to elaborate on that. No, just.. no.

6- Characters with the same name... in the same book. Honestly? We couldn't think of another name? Or at least give one of them a nickname? Google is not that complicated to use.

7- Grammatical errors. (Dear Pittacus Lore, the wind did not "bxlew", sorry to break it to you.)

8- Random conversation with no apparent background, location, or context. (i.e. Dragon Warrior; half of the conversations have no location or apparent background. There's just people talking, who apparently meet up in the middle of nowhere, with no purpose, and suddenly start a conversation.) It just takes too much away from what could be a really good story.

9- The "OMG, you HAVE to read this book" book. Many of them are questionable as to why they're so hyped up. Yeah, they're a good story, but not that good.

10- Writing in public books. It's one thing when you're writing in your own book for a class or something (You don't even want to see my copy of Life of Pi after AP English!). However, if it's a public book, for instance a library book or a class textbook, I don't want to see your page 10 doodle spoiling the entire story. That just stinks.

What are you bookish pet peeves?
