Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
Check out all my past TTT posts here. Some highlights:

This week’s theme is Top Ten Bookish Pet Peeves. I have many!
- Breaking bindings
- Folded pages
- Spills!
- Bent covers
- When dialogue doesn’t use quotation marks
- Audiobook narrators who aren’t good at voicing opposite genders
- Being able to hear pages turn/mouth noises/other background noise in an audiobook production
- People that say audiobooks don’t count as reading
- People who tell me to get rid of my books or that I have too many books
- People who interrupt my reading time!
What are yours? Agree with any of mine?
And here’s a bookish pet:

There’s books where the dialog doesn’t have quotation marks?! I couldn’t cope.
Yes! Long Bright River and Let’s Get Back To The Party are the two I can think of off the top of my head. It’s infuriating–I’ve switched to audio halfway through before to avoid it
#5 is definitely a peeve of mine! I’ve never experienced #7; I didn’t know that could happen! Grateful not to have encountered it.
It was read by the author but it was awful!
Yes, pretty much all of these. Although, thankfully I have not listened to an audio book where you can hear pages turning!
It was pretty annoying, but hearing her mouth noises was worse!
