i'm annoyed

it's book tag time hey hi hello welcome back to my channel I'm Jesse and today I'm doing the I'm so annoyed book tag where we talk about all the bookish things that Annoy Us all the bookish things that make us aggravated all the bookish things that have us wanting to throw our books at a wall boom boom boom boom this book tag was created by books I'm not reading I will leave a link Down Below in the description to their Channel I did alter a few of the questions just a little bit but for the most part this tag does stay true to the original but without further Ado let's get started do authors ever do things that you find annoying absolutely there are so many things that authors do that drive me bonkers drive me up the wall have me wanting to Chuck a book one of them has to do with tropes but not necessarily like the Trope itself it's more so when it comes to like the execution and also like the relevance to the plot there have been so many books lately that I've read not lately like so many books over the past few years that I've read where it feels like the tropes are just added within the book because they're popular and they're never executed that well and they are not relevant to the story and it feels like the author got on the Lord's internet typed google.com and said what are the most popular tropes right now and just chucked them in the book did not bother executing them in a way that like had me feeling some kind of way I'm not mad at a book that like has Trope after Trope after Trope cuz I think that that's just a part of Storytelling that's a part of writing you have to have a few tropes within your book to buildt off of but it all comes down to the execution and what you bring to the table with those tropes another thing that really irritates me lately is when social media is involved within a book like when Tik Tok pops up or Instagram pops up o I get the ick I can't stand understand it it like just drives me crazy I feel like it's partly because when those things are woven in it's more so to make it feel relatable or relevant to the time rather than like really impact the story in any kind of way I guess it's fine when it's used as a tool within the plot but more times than not I just feel like it's there just to be like look I've got Tik Tok in my book look I've got Instagram in my book like I don't care going beyond that though is when social media is brought into a book but they make up their own social media within the book and I feel like most times the name that they come up with for the social media platform oh it's so cringey it just takes me out of the book every time have you ever been annoyed by a spoiler even as simple as someone telling you that there's a great twist within a book I feel like currently I'm in a stage where I don't really mind spoilers obviously I'm not like going out and seeking them and like hoping that I get spoiled hoping that somebody's like here's what happened in the book that you're currently reading like I don't want that to happen but like if I do come across a spoiler I feel like it doesn't necessarily like really bother me that much like I feel like there's so much to a story to experience and love and I feel like just because you know a certain thing you don't know how you got to that certain point you don't know the stepping stones that lead to that so I feel like currently spoilers don't really bother me but there was a time back in the day when I was reading the shadow Hunter books for the first time and I really did not want to be spoiled cuz I just wanted to like experience them for myself and find out everything on my own and I feel like during that time it was like easy to stumble across spoilers so I was doing everything I could to protect myself from being spoiled for the main events but I woke up one day to somebody commenting all over my Instagram and all over my YouTube comments spoilers for The Shadow Hunter series I was like what are we doing like clearly you're doing this just to make me mad and make me sad and guess what it's working because I'm mad and I'm sad I really don't mind spoilers when they're accidental but like when you're going out of your way to spoil someone for a book that they're enjoying you're nasty and I hope at night when you go to lay your head on your pillow that your pillow is never cold that every soda you have from here on out is flat that every reading position you find yourself from here on out is uncomfortable it's really not that hard to be a decent human have you ever been annoyed by anything that you found in a free little library or a bookstore or a book sale two times a year my library has this big book sale and it's held by this group called friends of the library and it's actually really cool because they're raising money in order to help fund different events and different classes and different community- based things at the library but one of the things that drives me absolutely mad when I go to these library book sales well there's a couple things one is that they're just always so crowded which is like exciting because the more money that they make obviously the more that they can do and the more that they can but it's still just like so hard to like navigate and not be like running into people left and right because there are so many people that come out to these library book sales I am just not somebody that does well with lots of people being around I get very overwhelmed I get anxious it just is not a good time but obviously it's great that people are coming out to buy books the other thing that drives me bonkers about this specific book sale the resellers there are people that come and they are just like going through the books scanning the books and seeing how much money that they can make by reselling it scan check price put it down scan check price put it down and I'm not mad necessarily at the act of reselling books because everybody's got to make money somehow some way everybody has bills things that they need to provide for and I'm never going to be upset at somebody that's doing what they can to make a little extra cash but I just wish that they had a night solely for people that are there to resell books and then a separate night for people that are actually there to pick up books and buy them and take them and read them it's just really hard to compete with the resellers and again it's fine you got to do what you got to do I'm not mad at the actor reselling I just wish that that aspect of it was managed better then at bookstores which actually I just had an experience out of Barnes & Noble literally this past weekend it was actually so jam-packed with so many people and like that's fine again I don't do the best when there's like tons of people but it was a Saturday morning what did I expect of course it's going to be busy and also I'm glad that people are out buying books like that makes me happy but there was like a section of books that I was like really trying to get to and these people were just like planted at the specific section having a full-on conversation and we not moving I kept circling back around being like are they going to move can they move can they please move and yes in this situation I could have easily gone up there and been like hey excuse me can I get to that section right there but they look like the kind of people that would have been annoyed if I asked that question so I just didn't bother maybe that's me being judgmental that I assume that they are that kind of people but like the conversation that they were having they were discussing some drama and I was like oh yeah if I go in there and be like can I get over there please excuse me please they're going to be like and I just can't deal with a scoff I can't deal with not knowing what kind of reaction I'm going to get I couldn't deal with an unpredictable reaction that day so I said nope I'm just going to walk around the bookstore browse all the different sections and eventually they'll move and guess what eventually they moved my other complaint is going to make me sound like a book snob but book snob I am I guess sometimes key word here is sometimes I don't love the curated tables sometimes I feel like the books that are chosen for the theme of the table do not fit with the theme and I always wonder to myself like how much research went into the tables did somebody actually read all the books on the table in order to make sure that they fit under a theme or did they just kind of like randomly generate the tables I'm not sure there's just been a few tables lately that I've kind of like side eyed I'm like H and maybe that's because I just wish that I could go in and curate the tables for them that's probably the situation here like I love curating a TBR I love curating a book list and like maybe I should just get a job at Barnes & Noble and be like hey I'm going to curate these tables okay okay I'm the official Book Table curator now so don't mess with me when it comes to short story collections are you ever annoyed when you find a no up within a short story collection I don't think I've ever read a short story collection that's had a Nolla in the middle of it but like I can imagine that being annoying like the rest of the stories are little short bite-sized tales and then you get to this Novella and you're like you're joking right way to throw off the flow of a short story collection I feel like I would more so be annoyed if I was an author contributing to a short story collection and some other author like had this basically full-on Nolla in the middle of the collection and my short story was like 10 15 pages I'd be upset decl edges beautiful or annoying listen I have just never understood the deced edges hate this is also coming from someone who grew up with decl edges because one of my favorite series growing up Was A Series of Unfortunate Events and all of those books had deced edges so my love for them was implanted at a very young age others annotations in a used book or a library book annoying or are you okay with it I love and almost like romanticize the idea of stumbling across a book in a used bookstore or a thrift store that has annotations all throughout it like I think there's just something so special about that and seeing what some of else's experience was like reading a book like that just really excites me even if it's just a stranger like I love the idea of just like reading their thoughts as I'm forming my own opinion on the book like that just sounds so exciting to me I've low-key been hoping oh it just got so dark in here flip their books and try to find one that's annotated because I really want to find one and have that experience but I also feel like I should just like leave it up to fake maybe I should stop trying to force it and just like let it happen the library situation that's a big no no I would actually be appalled if I picked up a library book checked it out took it home reading it and found like markings throughout it I'd be like oh no and that's my thing with annotations in general if it's your book if you bought it if you owned it you can do whatever you want with it but if you're borrowing a book from the library borrowing a book from a friend you know Onie you know mky if there's a series and there are changes that are made are you okay with it or are you annoyed by it I assume we're talking about cover changes with this one here's the thing I honestly don't mind like cover changes because when you display your books obviously you don't typically see the covers unless you have them facing out outwards but the thing that actually bothers me more than anything when it comes to a series getting a cover change is when they change the spine like if you're going to change the cover and throw off the series as a whole then at least keep the spine consistent I beg of you and if you're going to change the spine too and I can't change your mind there can you please keep the colors somewhat consistent because there have been times when they've changed the cover and changed the spine and the spine no matchy and makes me very upset do the decisions of a character ever annoy you if so can you share some examples yes all the time all the time all the time I feel like this is a big reason as to why I'm having to like take a little bit of a young adult book Hiatus currently because the choices that the characters make in young adult books obviously I was making young and dumb decisions when I was that age too sometimes it's just so hard to read it as it's happening like it just makes me want to like scream scream I'm getting worked up thinking about it another thing that bothers me is miscommunication especially when it's not like really being used to drive the actual plot of the story like if it is being used as a way to like keep the plot going then I'm into it I'm okay with it there are situations where it works and it makes sense but if the miscommunication is just to cause like a subplot of drama I don't want it I don't want it poof be gone are you ever annoyed by how somebody organizes their books if so what do you find annoying honestly no I've just never been bothered by what other people do with their books like when people dog ear their books it doesn't bother me when people annotate their books doesn't bother me when people have rainbow shelves it doesn't bother me when people take off all their dust jackets and store them in bins and display their books nude it doesn't bother me if it makes that person happy that's all that matters what I think does not matter finally share something bookish that you find annoying when people judge other people for the things that they do with their books no but actually so many things I could list off right now when the author's name is bigger than the title when a book series isn't numbered or I have to go the extra mile to even find out what number the book is within the series when book club put their logos on books and you can't take it off it's not a sticker when the description of a book is confusing I'm not the biggest fan of long chapters I'm tired of books following the same book title format when a book is pitched only by its tropes AI art on book covers a big red flag for me and so many other things a lot of things annoy me when it comes to books but the positives all weigh the negatives obviously that was it for the I'm so annoyed book
