Why I don't read but like to write

I've never liked books. Well most books. I always wanted to read a story that would enchant me, was fun and would bring me into it's world.
But I was a very fussy reader.
Most books bored me. I think in total I've only completed 20 books in 22 years of my life.
But the thing is, I don't mind reading... it's just that I don't like the way most authors write.
When I was 11 I started to write my own books just so I would have something I would like to read. I wrote for myself, told the stories how I wanted to and still do to this day.
Nearly all books fall under expectation.
The only book series I've ever finished was Twilight and even though people say those books were bad, they were the only ones that hooked me.

Little parts in movies that don't work or feel contrived.

I love these movies but there are particular little bits in them that bug me because they just ruin the flow of the film.

Frozen- The Evil Prince Reveal and Love is the answer.
The reason why the evil prince reveal was so bad is because when Hans came out as the villain it just felt so contrived to me. Not because it was bad but because his kind personality he had shown even before he knew Anna was a princess and the way he acted all up to that reveal completely counters the villainous side of him. I felt that they just went for this because they "needed" a villain no matter what. It just didn't fit with the plot and took an unnecessary mean turn from everything else that had happened up to that point and how he had acted before.

Love solves everything. That bit pissed me off as the ending. I can understand that being a good message but it just seemed like a quick fix solution to a really worrying problem. And all of a sudden Elsa has control of her powers just because she now knows love? Five minutes ago she had had no control and now they can all ice skate? I don't think so. The ending was not thought out at all and rushed. That ruined a perfectly good movie for me.

Mr Peabody and Sherman- Penny should be in Ancient Egypt.
There was a complete and obvious plot hole in this that bugs me every time I see it. When Sherman returned back to the same time as another him with Penny it caused the original Sherman not to go back in time to get Penny in the first place. That meant that Penny should have disappeared from the present. It just bugged that she was there when she should have had her timeline altered. That was just sloppy writing there, sloppy writing.

The Goofy Movie- I just wanted you to like me
This one always bugs me a whole lot when I see this movie because it's one of my favourite animated films. When Max was panicking that Roxanne would go with someone else to a party he lied to her and told her he was going to be on TV at the Powerline concert. He said this so she wouldn't go with anyone else, but he knew she liked her. However when he did get on TV and came back, he told her it was a lie and an accident and she asks why would he make up something like that. He says,
"I don't know... I just wanted you to like me."
ER GOOFBALL! She made it clear from the start that she liked you! And you knew she did, you just didn't want her to go with someone else. You didn't do that thing to seem cool, you did it so she wouldn't go with someone ELSE! So that was a big annoying thing that always bugs me at the end of the movie.
