to be fair, individuals getting mad that people read books by problematic authors have a right to get mad, considering what the authors got cancelled for. It is not about "oh the book didn't work for you" it`s straight up: "this author is problematic which is incredibly bad, and people who read books by them support their controversial and/or problematic views". One of the biggest examples being J.K Rowling, and obv we all loved her Harry Potter books, but that woman is a transphobe and a racist. Shall we just accept that she has those views, when she is barely even known for anything other than her series, and continue reading whatever she releases regarding the Potter universe? Do I have to (knowing the information about her views from a book lover standpoint) read the series and remember that the woman who wrote this is a racist everytime I pick up the book(s)? No, I don't have to put myself through that, which is why there are people who completely abandon books by controversial authors, which (IMO) is something you did not bring up. If an author only has one piece of art, and becomes controversial, or art that looks incredibly close to their controversial wievs (for example Rainbow Rowell and her Asian stereotypes in books) clearly there is a problem here. Clearly those people should not be supported, regardless of "the book didn't do it for you" There is a line between individuals who get mad at others bashing or disliking their favourite book, and a line of people who stay away from controversial authors to not give any love or attention to them which there is nothing wrong with. This proves the point of how hard it is to separate the art from the artist. If you want to support controversial authors that is fine, but if an author is cancelled, 90% of the time there is a reason to it. Cancelling an author, and people complaining that people like their books does not make sense without the "reason for cancellation" concept.

@@lilbeans I do not support every decision made by all of my friends that I am friends with, but I am still their friends. I do not support all the decisions my family makes, and a lot of their awful opinions, but I still love them and see them. I am Japanese and Rainbow Rowell’s Asian stereotypes personally did not bother me, but if it did bother you I understand you not wanting to read anything further; but it didn’t further perpetuate any negative views on people with an Asian ethnicity for me, and I still enjoy her books. I love Harry Potter and will continue to even though the author has said some things I do not agree with. No author is going to be perfect and I can find a problem with most of their work or a tweet from 2008 that is questionable. In fact most people I have met have said something at one point that is ‘cancelable’ to someone out there. J.K. Rowling may not be a good person, but her books are phenomenal and when I think of them I don’t think of her at all and see no reason to stop reading her books. If I read her books that doesn’t mean I love her and am saying “yes, I love your awful opinions!” No, I love her magical world and I separate it from her completely. I don’t believe in cancelling, I believe everyone can discern for themselves what they believe in and yelling at people for reading is ridiculous. Educate them and tell them why an author is problematic - kindly and not in a condescending angry manner - and then they can be aware but still read the story. I have no issue with people completely being done with an author because of their own opinions, but don’t tell other people they are shitty people (the insults I’ve seen are way worse and also cancelable) because they are reading a book by an author who has said or done unacceptable things. I don’t support Billy Ray Cyrus divorcing his wife and getting with a girl Miley’s age who was allegedly on the show, but I still love Hannah Montana and I love his character. Not him. I have my own personal beliefs that a lot of ‘famous’ people cross but I just choose to dislike them. And if someone is singing them praises, then I inform them, but I won’t get mad at someone for listening to an artist who has an awful personal life but great music. Agree to disagree. I don’t view reading something by an author as supporting their opinions. Thank you for your response, I like to know why people feel the way they do, but personally I think differently.

Sure it depends what the use of the table is, but we don’t do paid placements in store. I’ve never heard of any bookstore doing that. Each store operates on own our judgment. If we love a new title coming out, we’ll make a table for it. If it’s long awaited and has loads of hype, we’ll make a table for it so it’s easily accessible for customers! Maybe you’ve worked in a bookstore that does do paid placement though :)

I love miscommunication done well and despite attempts to communicate...I HATE it done for no reason or out of character, or easily solveable by a comversation. I hate when books are mismarketed to increase audience - it feels like a bait and switch, including when books are marketed as a standalone but at the end of the book it's a cliffhanger because there are suddenly more books. I also hate when a book series isn't fully available in your country in a consistent format (so for example book 1 in a duology recently was available on audiobook in the UK, but book 2 is only available in France) - it's been out years so now I'm stuck. Or the .5s in a series only exist in ebook.

I don't want the books to be different sizes and I want them to be all the same size. And if you're going to redo the artwork do after the series is done so you can have a complete set so it matches. I personally don't like rainbow shelves. I like the mixed colors. The rainbow shelves just end up being so bright on my eyes and it irritates my eyes bright color side issues with. But I'm not going to tell someone they can't do it that wouldn't be right.

I don't like the phasing out of explicit content tags/markers, especially in regards to "mature"/"adult" content. I know that manga and similar genres still carry them, but I've noticed that a lot of American-published books haven't been using them often over the past few years. I've run into this problem with ebooks especially (since most listings don't have any markings/notes about explicit content unless the author explicitly mentions it in the description, which I've not seen often). When I'm interested in a book that has a romantic plot/subplot, I can't know if there will be very graphic content unless it's a book I've seen talked about a bunch, or if I'm able to find reviews that mention graphic intimate content. I like to read in specific niches, so I usually can't find a lot of information on the "spice rating" of books I'm interested in. As someone who prefers to avoid very graphic intimate scenes, it's very jarring to be reading a book that has been pretty tame/vanilla to suddenly be thrown into a very graphic scene.

I agree 100%. The issue is you can't even trust the "spice meter" on line, because some will say "not so spicey" but according to who? I recently bought a used book and found a post-it that listed the "trigger warnings" and i thought oh good, i can be aware of it now, but they mentioned rape on a page, and when i read the page fully thinking I was going to have to skip the whole page or something, it was just a mention of the MC's mother having been a product of rape and that was the reason for her actions in that part. Now don't get me wrong, it was heartbreaking to read, but not as bad as if it were a graphic depiction (as has happend to in the past were i was unaware of it and BAM there it is). All this to say, i agee with you, they should bring back contact tags. 😊

Like back when Cruel Prince was ALL the rage, so many stores I went too had the employee's favorite books and it was just Cruel Prince and like... okay cool but... how about some favorite books that aren't plastered everywhere all over the internet?

It not necessary and/ or it becomes overly explicate, to the point where I feel like I'm being talked down to as a reader. Like, yeah, we get it, this is bad, can we, pray tell, move on with the actual plot? Another thing is oddly specific, but I've seen it a lot in popular literature lately... We all know the phrase "Show, don't tell" and that's all well and good, but I feel like it's becoming more and more common to see "Show and then tell" instead. Like "Tears ran down her face as she cried, for she was upset," (non specific example). It drives me to rage and insanity when I see stuff like that.

This was the day before the book was available, and someone just posted the names and said these will die on forum chat where ppl were excited about reading the book. I hope that person will have a permanent bad internet connection for the rest of their life.

I organize my books by size and by author and nothing annoys me more than publishers changing the size of an author's books

This is focused on a single book but what annoyed me about it is a majority of the chapters were 20-25 pages long, and the bam! next chapter is 175 pages, then we return to normal. the book was fire and blood by george r.r. martin

Pet peeve for me is when there is an image of the character on the cover. I much prefer to imagine the characters as I want to without any influence from the cover. It's never how I imagine them anyways and I find it annoying. Give me beautiful scenery or symbolic artwork or even just the title with pretty non sensical artwork around it. Is that just me?

In terms of changes made to a series, to do this day nothing has been more annoying than The Diviners series getting new cover designs with the first 3 books 😂. Another thing that makes my eye twitch is when the 3rd book to Foundryside came out in paperback and it's taller than the other 2 books and the spine is also different. Why? Who approved this?

What annoys me is when one author puts different additional endings in different special editions (Stephanie Garber *cough*); this is the height of consumerism and even though you supported the author and bought their book, you now have to shell out even more for not one but multiple special editions just for one crappy epilogue, this trend needs to die before it gains traction!

What annoys me of books is when the description doesn't tell you it's the last book of the series or the spine doesn't have what number it is. And the book I'm reading right now keeps repeating the same words of a short sentance so close together.

I’d honestly be really frustrated if I bought a book used and it was annotated. I don’t care about the thoughts of the last person to read it-it’s distracting and annoying. The only non-text writing I’d want to see is an author’s signature as a pleasant surprise (which has happened to me a couple times now, and it’s been delightful). I don’t want or care about any other readers’ opinions when I’m in the midst of reading a book for the first time.

When people ask you how many books have you read that month/year. Why does it matter! People who constantly push you to read books they love even though they know it’s not your genre. I’m sure it’s a great book but I will not like it. 😊

Yes - YA-books these days - they got so annoying to the point that now they are unreadable for me. I am an adult much longer than I care to admit😊, but I always enjoyed reading YA or even middlegrade books, if only to find some relieve from reading more sinister books. But nowadays reading YA books makes me want to through them against the wall so terribly annoying they are,the tropes and also to protagonists. Now I explicitely make sure that I don't take by chance a YA- book in a bookstore or library anymore. Don't want to waste my time.

I know i'm going to get hate, but I do not like finding annotated books. Now, let me clarify, I don't mind seeing underlines, or highlights in a book, but i do not like when there are full notes in the edges or inbetween the lines or on the chapter page. It takes me out of the story, it disrupts my flow, and it would be one thing if the writting was artistic or lyrical, but no, it just some body's notes that either were becuase it was required reading for school, or they just thougth it would be funny to right insults on the page. I have a beautify copy of The Great Gatsby (with the original cover art) that has some godawful hand writting on the page, in the lines! Thankfully, it looked like it was for required reading and they only marked up the 1st chapter (21 of 180 pages), there were crossed out words and scribbles, it was heartbreaking.

When I go to see a book to movie adaptation and someone tells me something that happened in the book when I was probably going to be interested in reading it or was reading it at the time, and then I end up dnfing either because the movie was terrible(allegiant cough cough) or because I don’t see the point of reading it(also allegiant) okay this only happened with one book for me and that was Allegiant lol but I was maybe 1/4 way through the book and we went to see the movie…then my friend tells me something she found out happens in the book and i bet ya'll can guess what that was(main character death). needless to say movie was terrible, and i'm kinda upset because i dnfed allegiant because i didnt see the point in reading after being spoiled. I just hope it never happens again because I will be like you just ruined the book for me, unfriend
