reacting to YOUR bookish confessions

[@julieheather5349]

I skip to the end to make sure there's a happy ending then I officially start the book.

[@AvivasLibrary]

Hahahahha it’s not the worst move

[@lilsmom2000]

I do the skipping and going back thing all of the time. I just did it with the book I finished last night.😂

[@AvivasLibrary]

I DON’T UNDERSTAND THIS

[@shreyaraman.]

i think as a reviewer there's nothing that spoilery about telling the trigger warnings especially if the book deals with some heavy topics....it's helpful and kind of prepares the reader if they want to pick up the book or not. I've seen more authors writing the trigger warnings recently bc honestly you never know what can trigger you until you read it.

[@AvivasLibrary]

I hear ya! I totally get where your coming from and that’s why I still try to put tws in my reviews when I remember to!

[@nothanks1993]

If in a book there is ascene where someone is dreaming . I completely skip it. Not even skim. I just move on until the character wake up.

[@AvivasLibrary]

Hahahahhaa omggg why?? Maybe the dream is a suppressed memory and will be important later!

[@nothanks1993]

But normal they either rehash out the dream later on with another person . ( telling love interest that flashback). I’m just reading the same thing twice. Or it’s love scene that never really happen. Especially when it’s their Epiphany moment when they realise they are interested in that person. I would prefer to see it play out “in real life”. Really just unnecessary filler.

I don’t buy any physical books unless I read them as ebook first 😂 I HATE to have a book that I don’t like 🫣

[@AvivasLibrary]

I totally get that! I feel like I would do this too if I enjoyed ebooks

[@medmariajourney3192]

@@teaghann it’s amazing actually and that’s why I don’t have a physical tbr 😂♥️

[@lozanosa89]

I do this too now! I was in an apartment for years so I had no room for physical books. I’m now slowly stating my physical book collection of my absolute favorite books

[@nikkis7375]

I feel you! I only read ebooks and audiobooks 99% of the time lol but if it’s a fav I’ll love to buy the physical

[@stephanyverma3512]

I love this video! I skip chapters in the past, especially if the book continuously goes back and forward in time. I absolutely hate time jumps. Very few books manage to pull it off for me.

[@AvivasLibrary]

Agreed! Not a fan of dual timelines either

[@lozanosa89]

I’m not looking forward to the ACOTAR show. I know we’re going to be disappointed lol i won’t watch it until one of my fellow ACTOAR nerds watches it and can vouch for it lol

[@AvivasLibrary]

Hahah people are gonna vouch for it no matter what - I’m not looking forward to it but I’m gonna watch it anyway… I’m just not looking forward to it forever skewing my perspective on how I look at the books because of whatever visuals they decide to give us

[@oliviarutherford1424]

i get what you mean about it not being the reader’s responsibility to give tws, but i think there are some exceptions, like colleen hoover doesnt believe in giving tws, but if you went into it ends with us without tws i feel like it could be really bad

[@AvivasLibrary]

Yea I hear that! I think it’s a very book by book situation.. I think if I read something and then was like woeee okay I wish I knew that Going into it… I would think it’s something that should be public knowledge

[@skyyrodriguez4125]

I don't have it hashed out either, but I get what youre saying about the booktube community :v since reading much more in 2022 and watching lots of videos, inserting myself more in this world and all... it's definitely not all roses and love around-the-clock Or maybe it is. In a veiled attempt at masking, perhaps

[@AvivasLibrary]

Ha yea I hear what you’re saying. The more you involve yourself, the more you see

[@rechamashaw]

There’s no way you started letting your books look used

[@adriannamorgan540]

Confession: I really don't understand the hype around Colleen Hoover 😂😂 I read Verity and it wasn't all that great, and completely turned me off from her other books.

[@AvivasLibrary]

I get why so many people pick up her book… but I’m not personally a fan after trying three of them - I think her writing is very simple and her books are fairly short, so it’s easy for beginners to get into and read her stories quickly. And she has a way of overdramatizing her stories, so people who aren’t huge readers get easily pulled in to her books.

[@daygraysea]

Ok I know this confession is going to make me sound like a jerk but I gotta say it ☺️ I won’t read an author that has a dumb pen name… Because my thought process is if you have a cheesy ass pen name is your book going to be cheesy too? Haha I just can’t. 🫠

[@AvivasLibrary]

I never thought of that… but I kinda hear you 🤣🤣

[@daygraysea]

@@AvivasLibrary My exception is St. Abby those books are *chef kiss* but ya it’s usually a hard pass. 🤣

[@AvivasLibrary]

@@daygraysea lolol i thought st Abby was a cute name for the author of that book too … I can’t think of a specific example but I feel like I would agree with your ick for it in general if I came across a cringy name 🤣

[@daygraysea]

@@AvivasLibrary I mean i can give you examples but I’d have to do it on insta because I don’t want anyone thinking I’m being mean lol.

[@AvivasLibrary]

@@daygraysea 🤣🤣 hahah that’s very considerate of you! It’s all good though… probably won’t be reading any of them anyway
