The I'm So Annoyed Booktube Tag | Apparently I've Got Some Unresolved Issues...

Today I do the I'm So Annoyed Booktube Tag created by ‪@booksimnotreading‬. Do I start the video thinking I'll be unflappable and unbothered, but end it in a seething rage of unresolved issues? Maybe...
Prompts:
1. Do publishers ever do things that you find annoying? Share an example.
2. Have you ever been annoyed by a spoiler? Even something as simple as someone else telling you there's a great twist?
3. Have you ever been annoyed by what discovered in a Little Free Library, a book sale or used bookstore? Tell us what you found and why it was so annoying.
4. When it comes to short story collections, are you annoyed if there's a novella in the middle of the collection?
5. Deckled edges: beautiful or annoying?
6. Other people's annotations in a used book or library book: Annoying or are you OK with it?
7. If there's a series or a collection of certain kinds of books (like an imprint) and changes are made, are you annoyed or OK with it? If yes, give us an example.
8. Do the decisions of characters in a novel every annoy you? Share the book and what decisions you found annoying.
9. Are you ever annoyed by how someone organizes their books? What do you find annoying?
10. Share something bookish that you find annoying,
11. Tag other people!

One of my first childhood memories is hearing something like, “And it’s low and outside for ball one,” while actively reading. Very enjoyable video, Art. Thank you.

[@ArtBookshelfOdyssey]

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who reads while listening to baseball.

[@booksimnotreading]

I should have tagged you! 😃 I prefer to go into most books blind too. Great to see you so annoyed! A rare occurrence for sure. Thanks so much for doing my tag! 💛

[@ArtBookshelfOdyssey]

As soon as I heard this tag on your channel, I knew I had to do it LOL! I keep thinking of better or different answers though, so maybe I'll have to do a part 2 ...

[@awebofstories]

GO MARINERS! We used to watch all their games until we cut the cable and started streaming and now we can only get the games that show up on network tv. Still, though, they are our team! Ha ha! I also don't like people borrowing or touching my books. I will give away books, but I've learned not to loan them! Thanks for doing the tag!

[@ArtBookshelfOdyssey]

All right! Go Mariners! I used to live in Washington as a teenager, so even though I am now in the midwest they are still my team. I had the privilege of watching the greats play - Griffey, Edgar Martinez, Jay Buhner, the whole crew. Great times. Though their lack of post season success can be frustrating, I'll continue to watch them. They are a blast to watch.

[@BookwormAdventureGirl]

"Just because something's free, doesn't mean it has to be junk". So right! Agree about your thoughts of editing and the need for dialogue. Your pup is a sweetie. Thanks for the tag, Art. i did this one last Tuesday, hopefully with little venom. It was a fun one. Good booktube therapy! I will head over to the new channels. Thanks! 😊💙

[@ArtBookshelfOdyssey]

I had recorded this a little bit ago and didn't see it on your feed... and then of course you go and do it before I had a chance to post it LOL! Maybe I was predicting the future.

[@BookwormAdventureGirl]

@@ArtBookshelfOdyssey you are amazing at predicting the future. Always nice to know you’re thought of so I appreciate it. 😊💙

[@MyMessyBookshelf]

This is such a great tag. I can relate to spoilers between spouses. I accidentally spoiled the major plot point to Death on the Nile for my husband years ago and I’m still mortified to this day. 😅 So sorry you had the Balrog scene spoiled for you… it is still one of my favorites! Also, I too frequently read to my favorite team playing baseball. As a lifelong New York Mets fan, it’s comforting and I know I’m not missing much. 😂

[@ArtBookshelfOdyssey]

You should do this tag - consider yourself tagged! I've really enjoyed watching these videos, I'd love to hear your answers. Someone once told me that a well written story can handle being spoiled, and I sort of agree with that - I love rereading books, and some of the best ones hold up in spite of me knowing the plot details. But spoilers frustrate me! It's like having a birthday present spoiled. You'll still enjoy the gift, but the element of surprise was taken away.

[@jensreadinglife]

Do not write in a library book you monster. 😂 Love that! Thank you so much for the tag and shoutout! I will get to this very soon! I did want to add a thought about when publishers/editors make changes to books because of something our current sensibilities find distasteful. I think we need to leave written works as they are (unless like you said the author makes the changes). We can’t know where we are and where we are going if we don’t know where we came from. And, like you also notes, I think it’s ok to be uncomfortable sometimes when you are reading. It leads to constructive criticism and critical thinking both of which are so important! Great video!

[@ArtBookshelfOdyssey]

Great to hear from you! I'm glad my thoughts about making changes to books made sense.

[@KevinsNovelAdvice]

Deckled edges 😍❤ Love the classic look and feel.

[@ArtBookshelfOdyssey]

Yeah I'm sucker for them for sure LOL... glad to see another one on my side!

[@ellethinks]

I've heard the penguin cloth bounds tend to fall apart as you use them so maybe it's better that they just stay on your shelves.😂 That's a bummer about your free little libraries. I didn't know that about Oliver Twist. I agree that an author editing themselves later makes sense. That's an interesting way to see someone's growth through time. My 200 unread books feel attacked. 😅😅 I keep telling them they're going to get read but I still think they feel abandoned.

[@ArtBookshelfOdyssey]

I think I probably have more unread books than I realized... I might need to issue a retraction LOL!

[@hypersanitybooks4-kids]

Just found your channel and your title had me at... Apparently I got unresolved issues. You are engaging and your point about Lord of the Rings is hilarious. Keep enjoying your passions friend.

[@ArtBookshelfOdyssey]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I loved this tag.

[@hypersanitybooks4-kids]

@@ArtBookshelfOdyssey No problem friend. I'll tag you in an upcoming book review video and let you know what to look for. Enjoy your passion friend.

[@ashleyjaye7995]

Have you thought of putting a clear book cover on the oddly textured books?

[@ArtBookshelfOdyssey]

I hadn't thought of that... that would be too easy LOL! I might have to look into that.

[@TriumphalReads]

I laughed at the writing PSA. Great answers and glad to have found your channel

[@ArtBookshelfOdyssey]

Thank you! I'm glad to have you here. I have to ask, since you're new - what are some of your favorite books?

[@TriumphalReads]

I have a bunch I guess lol, Braiding Sweetgrass, How to Think Like a Roman Emperor, The Story of More, The Poison King, A World Undone, Wild at Heart for some off the top of my head.@@ArtBookshelfOdyssey

[@TriumphalReads]

Off th top of my head I'd say these are all up there. Braiding Sweetgrass, How to Think Like a Roman Emperor, A World Undone, The Story of More, ​@ArtBookshelfOdyssey

[@inerdius]

I'll try to do mine soon! Sorry it has taken me so long to get around to it.

[@inerdius]

By the way, in both of my short story collections I do have a little intro for each. Just sayin'...

[@ArtBookshelfOdyssey]

@@inerdius Excellent! I'll need to check those out. I was just watching one of your recent videos today and you mentioned a short story collection that you were very proud of, and I thought that would be a good one to get. I still have to do a tag you tagged me in! So no worries LOL!

[@ReadingIDEAS.-uz9xk]

I hope you are reading something good. Best wishes.

[@ArtBookshelfOdyssey]

I've got a great stack of books I'm tearing through right now!

[@michaelldennis]

I live in the Des Moines area and don’t recognize the used bookstore layout that you mentioned. Do you remember which it was?

[@ArtBookshelfOdyssey]

I used the term Des Moines area quite broadly. It's actually in a city called Ankeny. Overall it's a really great little bookstore! It's called Wall of Books I believe.

[@michaelldennis]

@@ArtBookshelfOdysseyyeah Ankeny is close enough to fall into the Des Moines broader area. I’ve not ever heard of that store. Might have a short road trip in near future. and by "near future" I have plans to drive there tomorrow. LOL

[@ArtBookshelfOdyssey]

@@michaelldennisAwesome! They have a giant german shepherd in the store too. He's the calmest most gentle dog I've ever seen too.

[@michaelldennis]

@@ArtBookshelfOdyssey trip successful. Today is the dog’s 10th birthday so they were having a celebration at the store. Very nice staff. I let them know that they were “semi famous” on BookTube.
