Q: What is your biggest pet peeve when it comes to books? Maybe you don’t like love triangles or thin plots? Tell us about it!


A: My biggest pet peeve is making books into a series when the story is not elaborate enough to deserve one. I am tired of being unable to read a book and finish a story. It appears that lately I have to wait a year for the next installment in the series of all most every book to see how it ends. There are many series that I really enjoy and wish they would never end. Then there are a those that I just simply do not understand why I need to wait three books to have the ending that was obvious in book one.

  1. Hopping through. I don't like the having to wait a year thing. I like it best when they come out every six months.

  2. Yup. Just think the House of Night series. I'd had enough. Anyway, happy weekends!

  3. Oh my goodness this is such a good point. I'm all for a good series, but I hate the waiting and lack of resolution. I love a good standalone. I wish I got to read more, but I swear I can't pick up a book without being plagued by sequels!

  4. Great answer. I don't like that either. Especially when the plot isn't in depth enough to require more than one book! New follower!

    Here is my FF :)

  5. I'm getting a bit sick of series myself. I hate getting to the end of a book and having it NOT END. Sigh.

    I get that sometimes as well. Although there are some series that I still love reading despite being long. Like the Hollows and the Women of the Otherworld. But there are others I am kinda tired of but keep reading because I know they are almost done, like the Southern Vampires series.

  7. Hey Erika, I agree, it's incredibly disappointing to purchase three books, and wait the year between each one and get what you already figured was going to happen and totally should have sooner...Blah!
    Happy FF ;)

  9. Turning a plotline that could have been resolved in a single book into an entire series is definitely a bad move on the author's part. Instead of having one really kickass book you get 3+ mediocre ones. Great answer!

  10. Oh my gosh, this would definitely apply to the HoN series and the Evermore (The Immortal) series by Alyson Noel. lol. I happen to agree with this to a degree. :)

    Happy Friday Hopping!

  12. Completely agree with you (and soulunsung about HoN and The Immortals!)! The series that did that to me recently is Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick. I wasn't a huge fan of the first one, but I figured, it was only a trilogy and the third one is supposed to be fantastic! I just finished the second one (which I barely made it through) to find out that she is adding a fourth book to the series!! Ahh, why?!

  13. Aaaaah! I agree! I feel like 2/3 of YA trilogies could've been finished in 2 books. Or even one!

  14. Trilogies and series are just so "in" right now, it makes me crazy! Thanks for stopping by, I'm a new follower :)

    Most books are series lately. I agree with you - some books have enough story to keep going. But some books have mostly 'filler' just to stretch into 3 or 4 books. After reading a book I expect for the plot to have moved on and the characters to be in a different place in their lives.
