Good morning Sunday!
How are we all in this here final #SixforSunday in January?! How did that happen? Where did January go? (To be fair, I’m glad… because it measn it’s closer to Summer and WARMTH)
Anyway, you’re here for #SixforSunday I see? And what will we be talking about today…
Bookish hates
Oooh, controversial one Steph! So things I don’t like to read, or things that put me off books?
- Series that are 378343568 books long
This is INTIMIDATING. Unless I’ve started a series from book 1, I am SO unlikely to get nvolved in a series longer than a trilogy. - Girl changes for bad boy trope
NO SIR. This bothers me so so much. - Covers with actual people on the front
I don’t know why… but I just am not a fan. - When names aren’t capitalised on the front covers of books
I know sometimes this is done for stylistic reasons, but it bothers me so much (I think this is teacher me talking here!) - Comments which say “you can’t possibly say that every book you read is 4 or 5 stars”
I mean, I can? Because I choose all the books I read, so I’ll generally choose books I think I’m going to enjoy. - Long chapters
By this I mean like chapters that are LOOONG. I love a short-ish chapter length. (I can’t put a number value on this dislike right now… but long chapters turn me off so much)
LOL. This are such non-committal things, but still, things that I don’t enjoy about the bookish world I live in.
See you next week for February’s #SixforSunday, in which we start celebrating LGBT books! Don’t forget all of the prompts for January – July can be found in this blog post!

I’m with you on number 3 – I wonder if it’s because most covers with real people are versions brought out to accompany a film or TV adaptation? I much prefer to see an illustrated cover, especially when there’s so many stunning ones around!
With you on number 5 too!

Gotta agree on the long chapters. I don’t like a chapter that’s too long, OR too short. It has to be a happy medium, or I’m not happy.

Short chapter ftw.
The worst is NO CHAPTERS because what is that hell? I read in sets of 5 chapters so it really throws me off and ngl I have DNFed books because of it.
