Question: What is your biggest pet peeve when it comes to books?
Maybe you don't like love triangles or thin plots? Tell us about it!
My answer: I don't like it where there aren't any answers in a book. It just really bugs me not knowing. An example of this (although I still enjoyed the book) is Crossed by Ally Condie. I had to read it twice just to figure out what was going on. It's usually with sequels, and then you have to wait for the next book. I hate waiting, so this is a pet peeve for me. Also, deaths. I don't like it when characters I like die. And I don't like books that are knock offs of other books, especially fairy tales. Authors need to come up with their own ideas! Another pet peeve is where kids in middle school are in a book, and act older than they really are. It just ruins a novel for me. The worst pet peeve though, is those books where it's "girl is obsessed with guy who doesn't know she exists and she's blind to the guy that loves her." I just want to shake those girls and force them to wake up. It annoys the beans out of me. Some love triangles are good, though, but I wouldn't say I'm a bad fan of them. Other pet peeves are this upsurge (is that a word) is dystopian novels? What about writing how the world was good? I'm a major hypocrite here, because I do read dystopian, I just wonder it affects people and what it says about our world. Like, if people write stories about good things, world is good in reality. So that makes me wonder what's going on. Lastly, is all these series that are out. What happened to stand-alone novels? Those are good too, and I wanted them to come back! This is my plight.
Oh, one more thing. I've decided that I don't like ratings on books. What if I like a book, that most people rate as 3/5 stars? (that's like giving it a D for grade). I think rankings are a bad way to describe/judge books. And that's what I learned about books and what I think about them today. (not that it's really a pet peeve, I just noticed the effects of rankings on my mind when I'm thinking about books). So I ask you, my beloved readers, does that happen to you? Do rankings on a book effect what you think of it beforehand/after, or make you not want to read it at all? Please tell me it's not just me! Haha, I'm sure I'm not goin' crazy. Love yall, Rachel
