Greetings Fellow Book Dragons!
Top 5 Wednesday is a weekly meme within the book community that was created by Lainey of GingerReadsLainey, but is now hosted by Sam of Thoughts on Tomes. If you’re interested in participating, find out more on the Goodreads group.
This week’s topic is BOOKISH THINGS I’M A GRINCH ABOUT! We often think of being a grinch as a silly thing, so try not to focus on serious topics that make your blood pressure rise such as abusive relationships, lack of diversity. Focus more on those petty things that make you cringe or induces an eye roll. Have fun with this one!
In no particular order, here are my selections:
Movie or television tie-in covers
These are just annoying.
Children’s tie-in books with no expansion of the universe
I’ve talked about this before. My kids read a lot! And they also like to watch shows, especially Paw Patrol or Daniel Tiger or Blaze and the Monster Machines. If we are out and they see a book with their favorite characters on it, they get excited, which is awesome! But then we are all let down when we start reading it and discover it’s only a rehashing of an episode they have seen multiple times. It would be great if they would expand the world of these shows by including content in the books that wasn’t featured on the show. For now, I’m saving my money and we’ll check them out at the library if we see them.
Series with way too much material
Hard cover new releases
Ill-placed stickers on cover
That's What She's Reading 
Oh, yours are really good. I hate everything you mentioned too. At least in the UK, their paperbacks usually come out asap. And those evil stickers, Ugh!
