I totally agree with you about book spoilers. I'm never bothered, and sometimes will spoil a book myself by reading the end before I even begin. (Patience is clearly not one of my virtues.)
Thank you for doing the tag! I'm with you about annotations in certain books. When I was in school and had to buy textbooks, I'd always try to find used ones that were already annotated.
Nice to discover your channel! I think the question about Little Free Libraries was about finding something other than books. People have found baby food and dog pooh. Thank you so much doing my tag! 💛
Absolutely! I think it has to do with the exaggerated level of forced inhibition in our society. Ranting is one of the few acceptable ways in which one still can be as he thinks.
Are there truly a lot of the people who claim to be readers but don’t actually read? Or are they people who try to always agree with others to be more sociably acceptable? They would be the type, when meeting an avid card player, respond that they love playing card even if they don’t. I’ll leave the rest to psychologists to explain.
Of course people-pleasing personalities without character or a deep impulse to avoid confrontation do exist. However, in my experience fake readers are abundant almost everywhere. At this point, based on anecdotical evidence I would even argue that only one out of three people who purchase a book will end up actually reading it. This is even more evident in youtube and social media in general, but specially I have felt it in artistic circles and at university where I used to encounter preachers of a certain book or author who could not have made more obvious the fact that they did not read those books even if they actually were trying. Luckily enough my social life has moved out of those very irritating environments but they are still there, more popular than ever!

Not a problem! Annoyance is my natural state of being haha!

I never found anything not bookish in a free library that I can remember at the moment. Thank you for this comment :)
Great to hear your answers, Grix. There's something very satisfying about a good rant!

Lol, thanks for the tag. I kind of like your unique way of organizing your books by rating. Thats a first for me
Thank you! It changes all the time but I like that, I keep returning to them and reconsidering.
