Top Ten Tuesday (19)

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

  3. Hmm 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!

  9. Great list! :D
    Reincarnation 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. :)

    1. 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.

  13. 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...)
