Top Ten Words/Topics That Instantly Make Me Buy/Pick Up A Book (thanks to Karin at My Life In Books for this topic & graciously letting us use it)
This was really easy this week. All of these popped in my head instantly so it wasn't that hard to think of them.
Witches/Magical beings.
I love books with witches in it. I love to see how the interprets their own thing about witches.
Love stories
I am a sucker for love stories. And truth be told if I know book doesn't have a love story and any shape or form in it I will most likely not even read it.
Fairies.
I found my love in fairies through the Wondrous Strange series. I love all of the books with fairies in it. And like witches I love to see how the authors do their own thing with faires.
Robin Hood
I love the story of Robin Hood. I just love it!!
Reincarnation
This whole idea fasinates me and again I love to see how different authors put their own spin on it.
Soul mates
Again I love soul mates in books. Its the only reason I picked up the Significance series by Shelly Crane. And I am really glad I did, because its a amazing!!
Bad Boys
This is another thing I am a sucker for. However, if I know a book has a bad boy doesn't mean I instantly want to read it just because of that. It goes higher on my TBR list, but it doesn't guarantee I'm going to read it that instant.
Mythology.
I love mythology and am constantly looking for more books with it in it. So, if I see this in the summary I will pick up that book.
Re-tellings
I really like re-tellings of fairy tales. However, there are some, like Cinderella, that have been done so many times that like the bad boys will make it go up on my TBR list, but won't guarantee I'm going to read it soon.
Assassins
Last but not least assassins. *Sigh* Assassins books, some of the most butt-kicking books I have read. Whenever the summary says assassins I will read that book. Assassin books are guaranteed to have some butt-kicking main characters and some awesome fight scenes. I love em.
That's my list, what was yours?
Happy reading
Good list, I love witches, fairies and retellings as well.
ReplyDeleteI love myths, reinterpretations of old tales always get me.
ReplyDeleteMyths are awesome and I have an obsession with them. So, I love it when they're in books.
DeleteHmm reincarnation, that's a good one. I'm not sure I've read a book with this concept but I'd definitely give it a shot! I love assassin's, bad boys, retellings, magic...(like pretty much everything on this list). Great picks!
ReplyDeleteNicole @ The Quiet Concert
Thank you :D. They're are very few books that have reincarnation in them, but the ones I have read I really like.
DeleteI forgot about assassins! Grrrr!!! Love them!

YA Sisterhood
Assassins are just awesome.
DeleteSoul mates is a great one! I didn't even think of it, but I love those types of books. I'm also with you on mythology. Thanks for visiting my TTT.
ReplyDeleteLisaILJ @ I’ll Tumble for YA
Great list, love fairytale retelling and bad boys too!
ReplyDeleteThank you :D. and they're just great in books.
DeleteFairy tale re-tellings are definitely up there for me, too. And assassins are amazing. Great list!
ReplyDeleteHere's my TTT
I'm hitting myself on the head for not adding Robin Hood because that's kinda an obsession of mine. >_< but awesome list! =)
ReplyDelete~Stephanie @ Bookfever
He's an obsession of mine too.
DeleteThank you :D
Great list! :D
ReplyDeleteReincarnation is an interesting topic! I didn't think of that one. I'm not too big on soulmates, because it tends to be a bit insta-lovey. But if it's well done I think I would really enjoy it. I should try the Significance series, sometime. :)
The Significance series is amazing. Its a little of insta-love but the author does it great. You don't even feel like its insta-love.
Deleteoh, I like Witches, Robin Hood, and Assassins - great list :)
ReplyDeleteAssassins!! I can't believe I forgot that one on my list!!! And Robin Hood is EPIC!!! I love your picks!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my TTT
Faeries, witches, mythology, retellings, I agree :D!
ReplyDeleteMel@thedailyprophecy.
Robin Hood...I LOVE it! You have a great list! Almost all of these are great choices!

Retellings. I REALLY wish I'd remembered to put that on my list! And Robin Hood. One of my absolute favorite literary heroes. Have you watched BBC's Robin Hood? The first season is really good! (Not a huge fan of 2 and 3...)
ReplyDeleteKimberly @ The Bookish Thespian
OMG, there are so many good topics on your list that I didn't think of!
ReplyDeleteLove story, reincarnation, soul mates, and mythology. And seriously, Robin Hood! :D
Thanks for stopping by my TTT Kimberly! (:
Yay! I have the first Significance book on my Nook. I'm glad you liked it! I almost put retellings on my list, but then I had already hit 10, LOL. I'm with ya on mythology, assassins, and reincarnation! Great list Kimberly!
