Bookish things I want to quit....
* Finishing a book if I hate it. If I'm not feeling it that's it!
* Love triangles. I kind of love and hate these. If done right they can be really good but in every series? Not so much.
* Cliff hanger endings. The only way to avoid this is to wait for the whole series to be published.
* A year long wait between books. Honestly I am starting to hate this. I guess it ties into the cliff hanger endings bit but knowing there is such a long wait between the books just makes me want to wait for them all to be published!
* Buying ALL the books of a series before I read it! I need to at least read book one first to see if I like it!
* Carrying on with a series when it should have finished about 5 books earlier. Or a series that I've stopped caring about. Why bother?
* Buying more books than I can read. (I think I'm kidding myself with this one lol)
* Collecting bookmarks. I have this addiction for them but I never use one. What is that about?
* Keeping every single book. Even ones I didn't particularly like. I have no more room! Seriously books are everywhere! I have to keep only those I know I'll read again in the future! And maybe those with really nice covers...
* Buying /keeping books because I love the cover. Really ridiculous but I do it all the time!
* Re-buying books because the publishers change the cover mid way through a series (this is sooooooo annoying - why? WHY DO THEY DO IT!!!!) But I need to live with it and not waste my money. I can do it.... maybe....
So that's my list.. What about you? Let me know in the comments below.

I feel like there are a lot of people that force themselves to finish books they don't like. I just feel like that's unhealthy. Life's too short to waste it on things you're not enjoying. :P
Hahaha, I love your last one cause that is so absolutely me! Sometimes, if the cover to the original book isn't just fantastic, I am willing to part with it if one of my book club girls want it. But more often than not, I end up keeping both copies! Why? It makes no sense to me! And if I really love a series, I start to collect all of the different cover editions they have! It's a sickness :p
Ha! This made me chuckle.
One of mine is not judging a book by the cover! If they came in brown paper, I'd be fine 😉
I totally relate to some of these!
