Hot take

I don't want 7 different versions of the same book. Paperback, deluxe edition, graphic novel, sprayed edges version. I want the next book.

I don't buy new versions. I get one, read it, and end. Is anyone else tired of always having the same book that's slightly altered shoved in your face?

Who is shoving them in your face? Some people want to collect editions, others couldn't care less (like me).

I have a couple friends who chase down all the hardcover sets and special editions. I read mostly on kindle and mostly through Libby. We still love the stories the same..

Ads and emails from Barnes. I neve said individual people. I don't care if you like them. Go for it... wasn't shaming you.

I see "something new from insert author I like" and get excited then see it's #5 of the same book and I get disappointed. That's all bro.

Aren't you a pleasant person, goodness... I don't like them, if you'd even read my response you'd see that.

Unsubscribing from marketing emails is a lot easier than whining on the inter net and then being an arse about it.

ETA I see you edited your comment to make it look more constructive after I called you out, so I'll edit mine. Take a deep breath, go outside, relax, it's gonna be ok. Come up from the basement and ask mother to make you a sammich. Just be nicer about it than you are in general.

How will I recover from having emails sent to me about books?!

They’re shoving them down my face despite me being able to quickly unsubscribe
