Good morning friends! Was everyone at a loss for social media yesterday as I was? Thank goodness there is this community here that is hosted separately from all of that.

This week’s TTT is an interesting one and I’ve separated it into pet peeves specific to things found within stories, as well as general pet peeves related to books.

Story-related pet peeves

1. Love triangles

• I honestly get so antsy with love triangles, usually because I get so invested in the person the protagonist DOESN’T choose to be with. My poor heart 💔

2. Whiny/unlikeable protagonists

• Do you ever just not connect with the main person whose POV you’re stuck with for the WHOLE book? Yep, I really don’t like that. Because I Cannot. Escape. Them.

Good morning everyone! I have had such an amazing weekend celebrating my boyfriend’s birthday. I missed travelling, even if it’s just to somewhere not too far away.

But now that I’ve rested a little from that mini vacation, I am back with a freebie topic for this week’s TTT. I have been looking forward to some releases coming out next year – waiting super impatiently, might I add – and I thought it’d be a great time to browse through some covers that have already been released.

Now, they always say “don’t judge a book by its cover”…but let’s be honest, how many of us still kinda do? A little bit?

I have collated some covers that personally look super intriguing to me from series/authors I have yet to read from. That way, I have no preconceived notions that would otherwise draw me to these books.

Let’s take a look below! 👀

Good morning and a happy Tuesday to you all! I’ve been having a super week of reading lately (including listening to an audiobook or two which is new for me), and I feel excited to be getting through my TBR a teensy bit faster.

But of course, as books get off the TBR, many more get added onto it.

This week’s TTT focuses on the books I am highly anticipating this fall. Some of these titles have just come out this month, but I have still included them here because I have yet to read any of these titles.

Let’s begin!
