I had fun writing this weeks TTT! There are definitely a few things that get my attention when I'm reading about new books to try, and these things are them! And while these things don't guarantee that I will read a book, they definitely get my attention and that means the book has a much higher chance of being read!
Here we go! :)
Top Ten Things That Will Make Me Instantly Want To Read A Book
Castles.
As soon as I hear a book takes place in a castle, I am instantly interested in it!
Princesses, Princes, Queens, and Kings.
This may relate back to the whole castle thing (And all the Disney movies I watch.), but a book featuring royalty in it definitely gets my attention!
Mermaids.
I love mermaid books! Always have.
Florida.
I'm from Florida, so I'm always interested in reading books set in my home state.
England, France, and Ireland.
These are three countries that I would love to visit one day, so anytime a book takes place in one of those places I want to read it!
Lupus.
I have Lupus, and anytime a book mentions it, it instantly makes me want to read it.
When I Learn a Book is Funny.
If someone tells me a book made them laugh, it usually gets added to the TBR list!
The Ocean.
If a book takes place on, in, or near the ocean, I am definitely interested in it!
Summer.
Summer is my favorite season, and when I hear a book takes place during it, it gets my attention!
Fairytale Retelling.
When I read that a book is a fairytale retelling, it makes me want to read it!
What makes you instantly want to read a book? :)
So many great things on this list! Yay for all of the fairy tale love - mermaids, castles and princesses/princes! All favorites of mine too. :)
ReplyDeleteI like funny books, too, but get irritated if they dissolve into slapstick humor. I'm from Washington State and I like reading books set here, so I understand your affinity to Florida fiction. My TTT
ReplyDeleteI agree with so many of your points! :-) It's nice to read a book set in your hometown.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read many fairy-tale retellings but I completely understand the attraction!
