It’s time once again for Connect Five Friday hosted at Book Date by Kathryn – the meme where we share five book/reading things that connect in some way.
I follow several people who take part in the weekly Book Blogger Hop, where a prompt/question is posted, and bloggers respond.
Even tho I seldom participate online, I do answer the question. Last week’s question got my attention and made me realize it would be perfect for “Connect Five Friday”.
What are your bookish pet peeves?
- I hate it when I get to the end of a series and find out that the next book won’t be published for at least another year.
- I hate when I hear or see spoilers for a book I am reading or plan to read. (Even if I sometimes read the ending!)
- I hate when I get involved in a book and find pages missing. Then I have to track down another book. (This has actually happened several times with thrift store books – hence the checking the ending.
- I hate when I am so involved with a book and I am forced to leave it for several hours and can’t even take it with me to read on the way.
- I hate not having a book (or finishing a book before the end of my wait) when I have to wait in line, am traveling or waiting for an appointment.

Great book peeves Bev. Love no 2. Yeah hate spoilers even if peek at end. I do that sometimes!
Thanks Kathryn. Usually my peeks are a check to see if I guessed right!
#2 especially irks me too. I won’t even read the jacket blurb on novels because sometimes they give away too much. I like to be totally surprised. 🙂
Thanks Lisa. So agree with you.
I hate having to leave a good book for hours too!
Thanks Carrie. That is the worst.
