wow, i have not been here in ages and ages!! but big things have been happening in my life lately and i’ve been swamped with business.
3. When a book doesn’t live up to the hype
4. When someone goes ahead and spoils the ENTIRE FREAKING SERIES FOR YOU
5. When you’ve finished reading a really great book and then go online and realize that there are no other human beings on the planet who have read this book, which means that you are alone in the fandom to create head canons, fan fics, and rants about this unknown passion
6. When you finally understand how the cover relates to the rest of the book
7. Struggling to find the most comfortable reading position
8. Movie adaptions that stray from the book
9. Ridiculously elaborate descriptions
10. When you get really excited because a book is so thick and you assume that it will last for forever but then you open it up and realize that half of it is a forward.
11. Being interrupted
12. The actual expense of buying books. I mean, i’m helping humanity by staying out of your way to read this - you should be paying me.
13. That one person who reads over your shoulder. Look, mate, I’m sorry you forgot your own, but dontchadare steal mine!
“oh yeah?” you ask. “what kind of things?”
ahhhhahahahahahahahaha no.
okay, i admit it. i have not been busy at all. i have been reading and sleeping and drawing and writing and doing the things you do on summer vacation, which resulting in me conveniently forgetting about this blog.
but be thankful i’m back now.
so without any further ado....i present,
biggest reader problems
(this is a sequel to my other post, biggest writer problems)
1. When the author’s name is bigger than the title.
2. When someone dog-ears a page of the book they borrowed from you
4. When someone goes ahead and spoils the ENTIRE FREAKING SERIES FOR YOU

14. Not being able to find a bookmark. like, i mean, toilet paper or a strand of hair or your brother’s fingernails can’t be that hard to find, but they always. disappear. when i need them.
15. When the european cover is more aesthetically pleasing than the canadian one. i mean, please people, really?
16. Falling in love with the anti-hero (again) and trying to justify it to fellow readers
17. When authors use the cliche of killing off the mc’s family because they want us to sympathize
18. “You need to exercise! Go outside, be active, have an adventure!”
19. Finishing that book with 100, 00, 000 pages in one day
20. just. finishing a book in general.
