Spoilers both me so much because if I've invested so much time in a series to find someone wreck the ending, then I feel like there's no point in finishing the series for me now. I just like the fact that ignorance is bliss. paperbackprincesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07446601964387517150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717251772632628978.post-5760372558109229942016-01-08T10:18:47.289-05:002016-01-08T10:18:47.289-05:00I'm exactly the same - I can't leave in th...I'm exactly the same - I can't leave in the middle of a chapter either. Chapters are meant to be read whole so stopping in the middle is ridiculous! If you were meant to stop in the middle the author would have chosen to split the chapter there.<br /><br />However, I disagree about spoilers. In my opinion, something is only a spoiler if you let it ruin things for you. And, for example, if someone told me the entire plot of the final Daughter of Smoke and Bone book it wouldn't be a spoiler to me because I have no context or knowledge of characters or plot.<br /><br />Great post!Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02068135640413650969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717251772632628978.post-37065299847287168052016-01-08T07:35:24.174-05:002016-01-08T07:35:24.174-05:00Dig-eared pages are terrible too!

So so so frustrating!! <br />For the longest time ever, a pet peeve was whenever someone bent my books out of shape (you know, cracking the spine too far out, etc.).

And I'll leave a book in the middle of a page to go do something else :P (I can hear you shuddering from a continent away.) My main peeve is returning books with a marble embedded in the first page (this *has* actually happened to me) - I don't mind scuffs, dings, even small tears, but at what point did I say it would be OK to... marble-ify... my book? ;)Cee Arr @ Dora Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04074909561530525221noreply@blogger.com
