I totally agree about the spoilers. For me, it's also because I mainly read in English, which is not my first language. With some books, it's actually better for me to know what happens beforehand, so I can focus more on the details.
i'm with you on spoilers sometimes helping me enjoy a book more! i can get overwhelmed by "riveting" plots to the point where i'm not really interacting with the writing anymore
This is a fun video, and I'm impressed by how difficult it is to annoy you. 🤣 "On accident" made me laugh out loud - it is an American thing, and it annoys me, too. Since I'm American, I have to listen to people say it in conversation, as well as read it in books. Thank you for sharing!
Hey thanks for the tag- I love how mostly you aren’t annoyed- I saw your thumbnail and thought - he’s so gracious and easy going I don’t know what he will say - ha! I too love deckled edges! And I do love books with others notes- on yes except library ones good point!
Your bookshelves tell me you are a true book person. An extremely rare creature. You read. You know how to curate your books, and you are not a snob who only judges by the cover. Delightful!
Great answers. I think you are quite a difficult man to annoy. You always seem so calm 😊. I was far more ranting in mine 😂. I agree very much on the hardback/paperback publication dates. I find that infuriating.
Thanks, Debs! I think sometimes I start getting annoyed at something, and then I just end up annoyed with myself for getting annoyed in the first place 😆
Interesting tag - I agree with a lot of your answers. Yes, I wish new releases were always available in paperback. For example (as is true for me recently), if I'm collecting a series in a trilogy I enjoy, and I have books 1 and 2 in paperback. Then the final book is released, and I have no choice but to get a hardback edition which is more expensive and doesn't match the set (and I don't have the patience to wait another 6-12 months for the paperback!)
Yes, it's really annoying isn't it. I wonder if book sales would go up in the first few weeks of publication if they were initially released as paperbacks....
Wow, as an American, I have NEVER heard or read the phrase "on accident." Maybe the books you found it in were all published or edited by the same people?

Yeah, I can imagine that being very helpful.
“All of these are very small annoyances. They don’t keep me up at night.” 😂
Well, at least not yet 😆

Great answers, Aaron. Totally agree about hardback and paperback releases. Your example of books in a series being different bugs me too. 😊💙
Thank you, Jolene! I wonder what it would take to change publishers' minds about hardcover vs paperback releases...
Oh Aaron! This was great. Thanks for doing my tag! So relieved to hear a Brit say they loved deckled edges. 💛
Thank you, Kelly! I think this has been my favourite tag so far this year. I feel like I'm a deckled edges ambassador to the UK now 😄
@@aaronfacer You are! You should get a badge or something. :)
Great answers. You seem very laid back and don't get over annoyed at little bookish peeves.
Thanks, Jim! I try my best 😋

Thank you! I'm glad I'm not the only person it annoys, although I'm very sorry you have to put up with it in person.

You're very welcome, Kristin! Yeah, I don't think I could get super annoyed about anything, especially books 😋
@@aaronfacer truth 🤣
Delightful responses, Aaron! I loved your approach to the tag.😊
Thank you, Pat! 🙂
I agree about hardbacks. I wish every book was released as a trade paperback first.
Yeah, I'm sure a paperback's more accessible price point would work wonders for a book's sales in the initial weeks of publication.
I've bought books because of the deckle edges 🤩
They're so lovely! 😊
Your bookshelves tell me you are a true book person. An extremely rare creature. You read. You know how to curate your books, and you are not a snob who only judges by the cover.
Delightful!
Thank you, that's very kind of you to say. I try my best not to be a snob - I'm not sure if I always succeed! 😋
"On accident" and "I COULD care less" annoy me too.
Oh yes, that one too! 😾

My tongue will tell the anger of my heart, or else my heart concealing it will break. Shakespeare.
I need to get back to Taming of the Shrew one of these days. I'm sure I read it at uni, but I can't remember it at all!

"a little insensitive"? It's barbaric to write in a library book!
Guess I know what tag I'll be doing next.
Haha, I supose my words were rather tame on that subject!
Wow, as an American, I have NEVER heard or read the phrase "on accident." Maybe the books you found it in were all published or edited by the same people?
Ooh, interesting. The plot thickens! I wouldn't be surprised if there was some common factor between all of those books.
