Bad Bookish Habits
- I almost always flip to the back of the book I'm reading and scan the last page. I also look through the ending in general. I hate that I do this, but for some reason I can't help myself. I should really stop, because sometimes it can really ruin a story (especially if I'm reading a murder mystery or something).
- I sometimes forget to mark spoilers in my reviews. Yes, I know that's completely awful, and I try not to do it as much as I used to, but it still happens.
- I don't give as much attention as I should to books without a lot of ratings/reviews on Goodreads. I want to know other people's opinions 99% of the time before I pick something up, because most of the time the general population is correct.
- If for some reason I'm in a bad mood, books don't entertain me as much as they normally would and therefore get a lower rating.
- Sometimes I really struggle with how to rate a novel, because even though I enjoyed it I know there are these about it that should bother me (i.e. Beautiful Disaster).
- Every time I set aside a book that I fully intend on going back to, it almost always never happens.
- I enjoy reading negative reviews - the well-thought out, snarky sarcastic ones that offend some people (not the ones that are just mean).
- I am lazy when it comes to re-reading. I'd rather be a little confused while reading a sequel than go back to the first one and catch up.
- Sometimes I will intentionally avoid a book if it is blurbed by an author whose work I did not like.
- I generally only use GIFs when I have very little to actually say about a story and just want to fill up space.
