I know I might miss a few books that I like this way, but oh well... </p><p>and I am actually very happy for fantasy and SF widening it's target audiences, and for all the peeps that love the genre. but so many are flubber. <br>It's like just after the succes of The Da Vinci Code; OMG, soooo many copy cat books...</p>

ikuo<p>My all-time biggest pet peeve: Someone who lives far away calls me out of the blue and says they are in town and can we get together tonight or tomorrow?</p><p>I know I'm a hermit but that doesn't mean I don't ever have plans. And if you REALLY wanted to see me, you'd have told me you were coming in advance so we could make sure to find time to see each other. </p><p>Expecting me to drop everything at a moment's notice (not for an emergency) makes me NOT want to do that for you. 🤷🏻‍♀️</p><p><a href="https://mas.to/tags/PetPeeve" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PetPeeve</span></a></p>
Jonathan Kamens 86 47<p>FD: This is a whiny post about a <a href="https://federate.social/tags/petPeeve" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>petPeeve</span></a> <a href="https://federate.social/tags/firstWorldProblem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>firstWorldProblem</span></a>.<br>We like to read Carolyn Hax's live chats, but we don't like to give the Washington Post money, so we read the chats via archive.today.<br>Except archive.today only allows archives to be refreshed every 5–6 hours or something, and most weeks some a*hole with no patience tells it to archive the chat before it's finished, so often we can't read the whole thing until long after it's finished.<br>I told you it was whiny, you were warned.</p>

Eric G.<p>OK, <a href="https://beige.party/tags/PetPeeve" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PetPeeve</span></a> time: 'Ethnic Cleansing' is a horrififying euphemism that implies that genocide somehow makes things *cleaner*.
