1# Bookish Pet Peeve: When I buy a book or get it from the library, then later realize that it's book number 2 or 3.

My bookish pet peeve: when there is a sticker on a book and you take it off and either it makes a mark or ruins the cover of the book

I absolutely hate when they don't number books in a series! The amount of times I've had to google the order of a series is just sad.

bookish pet peeve: when the size of 2 books in the same series is different. LIKE NO THANK YOU, I'D RATHER HAVE THE SAME SIZE!! Also, I absolutely HATE it when a book gets a cover change mid series.

#1 Pet Peeve: when I buy a a book, than later discover it is ripped😢

I hate if I see a book in a store and it's wrapped in plastic so I can't open it and flip through it, that's especially annoying when there's no description on the back😑😑😑

#1 when the book is so thick the spine bends and it looks cracked 2# different height of books 3# when the font is way to small so you get a massive headache (yes im talking to you game of thrones) 4# colored text....like in shiver

STICKERS STICKERS STICKERS STICKERS. And I agree about the matte covers and smudges. And blurbs on the back. And blank pages. Lol.

My biggest pet peeve for books is a cover change in the middle of the series. 😡

My bookish pet peeve: when the main character just wants to be 'normal' and 'doesn't understand' then spends the whole book moaning and being useless.

*#2 is soooo true!!* I am so used to looking on the back of the book for the description and I hate how now it's on the inside. *ugh.*

When I write a book one day, I will include all these pet peeves just to annoy Jesse.

I hate when i'm flipping a page and it feel in my hand like two pages that's confusing to me hhhhh😅😂

I agree I just hate so much when on the back it's only other people thoughts on the book, back is for description period!

Your eyeroll in the thumbnail is so intense 😂 #PEEVED

One blank page is nothing compared to the "great" idea a publisher thought of last Christmas. There was a book, which they wanted to be a part of the Christmas sale, but the book wasn't ready yet, so what they did was they printed the first chapter in the book and left ALL the other pages blank and the idea was that you could buy the unfinished book and inside we (the employees) would make a giftcard and put it in a little plastic folder on the back of the front cover. Then when the full book came out you could come in and exchange the giftcard for the full book. That was ridiculous and a total waste of resources! They wanted to see how it went with that book and maybe use the method with other books aswell. My boss refused to put our copies on the shelves. Luckily we haven't seen anything like that since.

#1:When books are different heights. #2:then the plastic wrap covery thing peels off. #3:TINY FONT (killer on the eyes).....Okay im done

AAA oh my gosh we share the blank page pet peeve!! In my copy of Lady Midnight there are just 7 blank pages after the book is done with nothing on them and it makes me SAD that they are there for NO REASON. I also don't like when the cover of a paperback doesn't completely cover the entire front (if that makes sense??) kinda like what they did to the revamped editions of the mortal instruments

''stickers'' you CANT EVEN REMOVE

#1 Pet Peeve: When I have to literally go on a quest to FIND the book's title on the cover! It's either super tiny, and squished to the side, or the author's name takes up more space than the title itself! #2 Pet Peeve: Those jagged edges...WHY DO THEY EXIST?! I want to rub my hands down the smooth pages, not potentially stab myself with paper! #3 Pet Peeve: Those blank pages at the end that give you hope that there's more to the book, but NOPE! Just existing for the sake of taunting me! I have to flip through each one to just make sure that the author hasn't added a secret extra page!

I acually like blank pages it increases the pages I've read even though I have't read anything

When I see a blank page in a book I just draw and or take notes on those pages

it's not only about physical books but e-books too - typos... man, currently i am reading Anne of Avonlea and idk about the original but in my language there are SO MANY TYPOS AND EVEN GRAMMAR MISTAKES ALL THE TIME I CAN'T EVEN

One of my biggest pet peeves is when the dust jacket wasn't cut right, and so a part of the back of the dust jacket shows on the part that covers the spine. It isn't lined up right. It looks terrible and has stopped me from buying the book before because I just can't stand to look at anything that isn't lined up properly. Do you get what I mean? It's like the one who did the cutting or folding just didn't care about where the folds go or anything like that. And you can't just fold it to fit, cause there are creases already in the paper! Makes me so mad! It's happened a few times on paperbacks too, but not as often.

Oh my gosh I understand all of these but I can definitely relate to the first one!!!! UGH I hate when my books are not in perfect condition😡. One of my bookish pet peeves is when the pages are not straight and they are purposely messy looking. WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT!!!

I hate when its only blurbs on the back too!! UGH! I also hate how on amazon now- where i always look up books from booktube bookhauls- only have blurbs AND THERES NO DESCRIPTION ANYWHERE WTF!!!

paperbacks in general just annoy me because i always end up bending them

what I really hate is, when books have more than one page with the title (and often cover). I have read books where they printed the same page 3 or 4 times.... why????

When you read a book and love it so much that you want to reread it and when you do it isn't as good as you remember

I actually not to long learnt what a blurb is. :o I swear I got taught in school that it is the description on the back of the book. I have been lied to!!

One of my biggest pet peeves: when someone gets me a book in the middle of the series and it’s often a book I have no interest in reading. But if I DO wanna read it, I have to get the first half of the series first Another one is that I prefer soft covers but also have a weakness for hard covers. This is more a pet peeve for myself 😂

This one may or may not be controversial but dust jackets. I hate dust jackets. They get in the way, they rip, and without them books, most of the time look ugly. Why can't the hardbacks just have the cover printed right on to the book?. I know there are loads of down sides to that idea too, but yeah still they irritate me.

1# bookish pet peeve: when the pages of a book is so freaking thin! It drives me insane, its so easily ripped! Some examples: Empire of Storms, Winter, Acowar etc... It drives me crazy

My bookish pet peeve: when a book has like 15 blank pages at the end so I think that I'm not done with the book yet and then I have to say goodbye way too soon

The footnotes in Nevernight are my favorite part. They detail the history that doesn't fit with the story but add some depth to it. Also, the narrator gets really saucy in the footnotes.

When pages don't have page numbers, it drives me crazy!

Stopped reading to watch!

What’s worse than reviews on the back of the book, is “praise for the authors other books” on the back of a Different book..

The blurb thing is the literal worst when it happens on paperbacks! Like, there is no inside flap! How the actual heck am I supposed to know what the book is about then?!

Biggest physical bookish pet peeve: not be able to remove the "now a motion picture" sticker that's printed on the cover! IT'S THE WORST!

A great example of foot notes done right: The Secret Series by Pseudonymous Bosch

OMG I hate it when there are like 10 blank pages at the end of a book like whyyyy?

I hate it when classics don't have descriptions in them at all because people assume the readers already know what it is about when picking it up! I don't know the plots of ALL the classics, that is why I want to read some of them

omg, the first one. "art that nobody wants to see" thank you Jesse, that was the best

Thank you for talking about wasting pags on only one word, at least I'm not the only one thinking about the waste of trees. RESPECT

The thumbnail is so sassy I can't not love it😂

A huge pet peeve of mine is when the sticker thing on a library book cuts off the description (which happens all the time!); or when they print the book with huge text that have big spaces, it makes it seem like they're trying the book look like it's bigger than it really is and wastes paper (a video of your pet peeves about the content of books would be awesome!)

My biggest pet peeve is when I let someone borrow my book and they dog ear the HELL out of it or just bring it back to me like the stuffed it in the bottom of the bag. Then , when I lend someone a book and they don't even bother cracking it open. I remember letting my friend borrow my book, and she said she never had to time to read it. There's ALWAYS time to read.

I can relate to ALL of these!!!!😂 You should do the video on pet peeves inside the book too. Love your videos Jesse!!!!💞

I definitely want to see a video about annoying things within books!

Three bookish pet peeves of mine: 1. when, halfway through the series, the paper used for the cover changes and now I have three books with regular covers and two with slick, smooth covers 2. when the first few books of the series have been adapted into films and used the posters as covers but the latter ones in the series are still un-adapted and they're all the same goddamn edition so everything gets mixed up 3. when you start reading a series, it goes out of print in your native language and you have to read the rest in another language

One of my biggest bookish pet peeve is when the dust jacket of a book is just too big and is constantly falling and basically annoying the crap out of me

Do a inside of book pet peeves!!

When your reading a soft cover book and it randomly closes mid sentence Mom: What’s wrong? Me:MY BOOK CLOSED MID PAGE GET OUT!! Mom:😳

I've read a book that when a chapter ends you turn the page and the page on the left is blank. For EVERY chapter

I love blank pages in books! They still count for the page count and you don't have anything to do, you're just one page further with no wortk! It's like in board games when it lets you skip some of the fields. I love it. I also love when at the end of a chapter there's like only a few lines on the page and then it skips to the next for the next chapter. Free progress!

Don't hate on the blank pages! They are secretly magical creatures who protect the books from evil! -Adventure Time Reference-

Can you do this video but with things that you really love?☺️

i love footnotes in books when they're funny, but i agree, it can be lazy

I agree with the blank page thing. SAVE THE TREES

WHAT A CONCEPT!!! hahahaha

When editions of books will come out with a bunch of blurbs on the cover 😣 it was so beautiful why are you putting a bunch of blurbs and stuff right over the cover image! 😭

Actually the stylistic choice of using footnotes in chapters from Bartimaeus' point of view in the Bartimaeus Thrilogy by Jonathan Stroud in order to help along the idea of him existing on many different planes simeultaneously both in body and mind, is one of my favorite things about that book series and why it was my favorite series for so many years until Skulduggery Pleasant came along and beat it out for the top spot.

An Abundance of Katherines is my favourite John Green book and it is filled with footnotes and I love them!

I hate the smell of Harry Potter and the cursed child, smells like disappointment

My biggest pet peev is an end nubbin. It's when the corners of book covers ball up into little corner nubs and it's not all smooth and it bothers me bc it makes me feel like I'm not taking care of my book

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THE FIRST ONE - it's also on three dark crowns and it drives me crazy!

Just had the footnotes problem while reading Nevernight! It got super annoying, but I ended up skipping most of them after skim reading them and finding out if it was even relevant to the story.

What you said is very true. I don't like seeing blank pages when they could put more words on that page. Even though my two biggest book peeves would turn off the light, no I want to read then getting onto again saying turn off the light. Even though getting erupted every time when while you are at still reading.

The second one yes!!! That annoys me so much!!! When I pick up any book I go straight the back and I get mad cause all I want to do is find out what the book is about! And my friends go "its is in the inside" and "I'm like I know but when I pick up a book I go straight to the back don't ask why I just do"

I knew where you were going with that first one before you got there, and I so agree! Having finger prints all over books makes me so mad.

i actually love foot notes? like, as long as it isnt any vital stuff for the story i really enjoy them

when the text font straight up CHANGES in the middle of the book for no reason!

ALL of these are SUPER relatable!!! And all of the comments down are super relatable too! I have nothing to say other than that you are so right about these pet peeves! Bc all us bookworms have the same problems but still enjoy a good book(aka a book that messed with our emotions, occasionally destroying us). And yes please! Do a vid about pet peeves inside books! Or cliches or smthn! I love all your vids, and I think that that is a great idea!

When you buy a book thinking it will be the same size as the other books on your shelves, then you place it on said shelf, and BAM! It's either too big, too small, too wide or too tall.

I don't mind one blank page that much BUT WHEN THERE'S SEVERAL AGH WHY

Truthfully when I look at books for the description I turn it to the back it would be nice if all books had the description on the back and not just paperbacks

Jesse seriously is one of my favorite booktubers 💛

when the page number is moved with the new chapter pages. i can understand when the new chapter has a little illustration at the start, i.e. Potter, but if it's in the top corner on most pages but gets put on the top when it's a new chapter i just want to scream.

When there's a sticker on the cover that cannot be removed!!

The blank page part made me laugh so hard I agree with you about it so hard like all of these are my peeves also.

it annoys me when they don't put the series number on the spine or cover, the amount of times i have been standing in a bookshop googling the series order is insane

I used to hate those blank double sided pages that you see near the front or the end of books! You know those pages that I''m talking about? When I was little, I used to rip those pages out and I made my own little book with them so they wouldn't be wasted paper!

When there are stickers on the book covers.... drives me up the wall! Then there is residue on my book cover or nail marks from me picking it off

When unnecessary stickers on books say removable but when I try to take it off my book cover gets messed up with white sticky paper

"Greasy" covers annoy me so much too! They're meant to be touched and they just end up looking ruined before I even leave the store!

I hate it when they don't number series and I'm with you on the back. Every time I find a book like that, I'm forced to read the first few pages and if it's in a series, there can be serious spoilers.

Those soft covers there they fray along the edges and the plastic coating (?) starts to separate! Soft covers where it's almost impossible not to make a ridge in the spine reading it (I find that a lot with uk books). Cover changes in the middle of publishing a series! I'm sure more will come to me 😂😂😂

I love this channel and get all my books based on yours and other booktubers reviews

I love the empty pages, they are refreshing for me, im not sitting over them for minutes, just skip them, but still gives me a break.

I hate it when books don’t have a description on the back, especially if it’s a paperback. And I hate when the jacket of a hardcover keeps falling off, or doesn’t evenly fit the book. I’m reading a book called Dog Walks Man, and the book is a bit bigger than the jacket, which keeps sliding off.

What aggravates me is every time a chapter ends, the end of the chapter is blank and then on the next page, THAT"S when the new chapter starts

i absolutely hate when it isn’t clear that a book has a sequel/is the sequel/is the middle or end of a series. i’ve made the mistake many times of buying the sequel to a book and buying the last book in a series because it wasn’t clear. please authors, can you fix it.

bitter book vids are my all-time favorite

YESSS you need to make a video of your pet peeves as it comes to plots and stuff like that 💖

Ahhh I'd love to see a part two of this based on the actual content of the book!!

I always hate reading hardbacks for two reasons. One, it's really hard to keep a grip on it and keep your page open, and two, I have really hot hands so when I sweat it'll rub away at the cover.

Jesse you so brighten my day!

1:22 uuuugggghhh, this...it's a BIG problem for me because books that are sold in the bookstores here are usually wrapped in plastic covers. So I can't read the synopsis unless I buy it

These all annoy me too! Especially the one about the random blank pages in books; I want to make a book out of all the blank pages I find in the books on my shelf. Then they'd have a use.
