1. A Review
For my newer and more critical readers, I thought I'd sum up once again what this blog is about. I write about every book I read to give you suggestions on what you should read. I ask for comments from people who have already read the book or have a question about the book. I also enjoy feedback on my writing. This blog is also a place for me to record and remember what I've read and enjoyed.... (Addition after a comment; this is not a list of criteria, these are suggestions to encourage comments. Write whatever you feel like as long as it is remotely related. Or not. Just don't spam, please. That's all I care about.)
2. A Rebuke
Yes, I know. Surveys are a dumb idea on a blog with two followers. I get it. Now would you vote on something real? I put that option there in an attempt to be funny! (Later... somebody changed their vote. I'm just offending people left and right, aren't I?)
3. A Rant
Lately, I've noticed something and I thought I would make a comment on it. Now, I know I've probably done this and I have nothing against people who do it so don't get offended but here it is; when I ask you how far you are in a book, it does not help me in any way, shape, or form when you give me the page number. I am not a savant. I do not have a photographic memory. Besides that, there are different editions of many books with different page sizes and font sizes. Finally, to be fair, I should know by now to ask 'what's happened so far' instead.
4. A Realization
I realized just now that many of my biggest pet peeves are about books; the one I mentioned above and when it is apparent that who ever designed the cover of the book did not actually read anything more than the first paragraph of the summary on the back. Oh, hey! That's another one; when the summary makes the books sound entirely different from what it is or when it asks yes or no questions. I think I've mentioned that before, as well... Finally, the problem I had with Fire where she went back in time to reuse her antagonist. Lazy.
Comment and tell me your biggest book pet peeve!!!

I apologize for my witless comments that do not fit your criteria. I was under the impression you wanted someone to read and comment on your blog, therefore that's what I did, but having never read I think any of the books you have put here I had nothing intelligent to say. :(
Vulgar language in a book is my biggest pet peeve. I stop reading at that point...
The comment above is the reason I don't think blogs are a good idea. Ouch!
Alright, here's the deal. The stuff I said about comments above was a general outline for someone specific. CR or BU, I appreciate any comments I get and I'm sure that everything you said that I have not yet had a chance to read was very intelligent. Thank you.
Oh, wait, are you referring to the comments about not being able to comment? Because I'm sure I appreciated those as well.
Oh, and thanks for your comment, Mom. :)
