Welcome to Litsy!

You will #neverever find me doing this! For a thick paperback book, I even open the pages at a certain degree as to avoid creasing the spine! I know, I‘m that fussy. 😬#bookishpetpeeves

Interestingly, the third book in this series is the highest rated on Goodreads. It does have far fewer ratings than the first one, of course, but almost as many as the second. I‘m just in the mood for something fun and also happy to complete the trilogy ☺️ Plus I adore these covers (although this one has that stupid movie sticker that I‘m afraid to try to remove.) #nowreading

#BookishPetPeeves When you buy a trilogy of books from the same bookseller on the same day in the same order, but one book is a different size to the other two. Argh!!🤬

My biggest peeve is crappy movie adaptations. When film makers change the heart of a story or the characters and the qualities that make them who they are, and turn it into a nearly completely different story than what's in the book. Why even call it an adaptation, when it's really just loosely based on someone else's ideas. 🙄

Dog earring pages, I like when my pages are perfect.
When someone spoils the ending. It‘s just, what‘s the point of reading if I can‘t guess the ending for myself?

Not my usual read but I needed a Z for #LitsyAtoZ. Enjoyed for the most part. Although I could see where the whole "Beloved" Plot was headed. Problem was after the reveal there wasn't a Happy Ever After but a bit of Cliffhanger. Now I have to read the next one. Also entire book Heroine refers to herself as plump & big boned & has all sorts of insecurities about her weight. Yet cover of the book features typical model type. #bookishpetpeeves

Day 12: I don't normally buy #multipleeditions of the same book. Yes, I have HP and the Sorcerers Stone as well as Philosophers Stone. And I have a LOTR omnibus and each book individually. But, generally, I don't.
Instead let's talk one of my #bookishpetpeeves : when the style of my books in a series don't match. #autumnreads

I went ahead and purchased even though only 2 new stories out of 7.
A Fugitive Green & Besieged were both great reads but constant repackaging of previously released material is my new #bookishpetpeeves. I already had other 5 stories. I love Lord John Grey! He is a complex & fascinating character. If you want to read his story in chronological order, you have to jump from book to book & continually Google.

I can't stand books that don't use quotations for speaking. Grr..

One of my #bookishpetpeeves is picture pages interrupting a paragraph of text. How am I supposed to remember the first half of the sentence while I look through the pictures? Props to this book, who had three sections of pictures, all of which were after a completed paragraph!
