Show notes: We love authors and we love books. We really do! But… sometimes authors do very strange things in their books that just grind our gears. Why do they do them? We have no idea, but we sure want to talk about it and share our bookish pet peeves with you. What do you think, do we raise valid points or are we just picky readers? Maybe don’t answer that.    Click here to join us on Patreon to get an exclusive bookish goodie every single Friday. With fun bonus episode series like: Books We Both Love, Monthly Overflow Books, Bookish Conundrums, and The New Books in Our Lives plus a private community for RTL Book Nerds only, you’re going to love being a part of our Patreon. Not only that, but you’re helping to support our show by saying I LOVE WHAT YOU DO.    Find the time stamped show notes below with links to all of the fun things we mentioned.   Bookish Goodies: [8:50]  The Orangutan Librarian (book blog) [9:55]  NEW RTL podcast merch (coffee mugs, phone cases, stickers, t-shirts, and more!)   [12:03] Bookish Pet Peeves: Sarah - This is the passage about the overly complicated language in a sex scene.
