Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish!
This week's theme is: Top Ten Words/Topics That Make Me Buy/Pick Up a Book
Jenn's List
Okay this was really hard for me since I pick my books from covers, authors I enjoy, and recommendations from friends. But I tried and this may possibly be the most random list ever.
2. Boys with accents
3. Travel to foreign places, ie: England, Paris
4. Royalty
5. Dystopian settings
6. Forbidden (I just love the word forbidden)
7. Greek/Roman mythology
8. Celebrity life (I'm a sucker for stories involving a celebrity)
9. Ghost stories/hauntings
10. Vampires (I love reading all the different ways people portray them)
Emily's List
This is a great theme, but I'm at a loss, so excuse me if my list is a bit... awkward.
1. Retellings (Of all kinds)
2. Controversial subjects
3. Friends to lovers
4. Foreign culture
5. Nerds
6. Zombies
7. Schmexy men (I love it)
8. Babies (I'm a sucker for them--seriously, just ask Jenn)
9. LGBT
10. Survival
What topics/words guarantee you'll pick up a book?
I keep seeing words/topics which I love too! I forgot about traveling! It's like being on a holiday without actually traveling :).

Yes to any kind of re-telling, traveling, nerds, celebrities, and books where friends become more. Love. Great lists!

LOL on boys with accents. That makes me laugh since it's so much harder for me to "hear" accents in a book than say, in a movie. I definitely get the appeal, though :)
ReplyDeleteI love a good retelling! I also love that you chose the word forbidden! I love that word when reading a synopsis.
