This week's question is: Define what characteristics your favorite books share. Do they all have a kickass heroine or is the hot love interest the Alpha Male?
MY ANSWER: OOh nice question! I think one of the most defining themes is the heroine! She's pretty much always a woman who does what's right, whether she wants to or not! She's strong, tough and has a bit of snark or attitude in her. Really the qualities are varying in degree, but you basically have a strong kickass heroine! And there's usually a sidekick or BFF that brings some humor along as well! Gotta love that!
TGIF is a weekly feature created and hosted by GReads! that re-caps the week’s posts and has different question each week.
This week's question is: Book Appeal: When you're browsing goodreads, the library, or another blogger's reviews, what grabs your attention to make you want to read it?
MY ANSWER: Well, if it's a book I've been thinking about I do look for reviews of it at other bloggers' blogs. My TBR pile has gotten a lot bigger because of that--as well as the closing sale of Borders which still saddens me! :(
But lately I've been reading a few reviews of Forbidden by Syrie and Ryan James and it's definitely piquing my interest! Going to try looking for it at the stores this weekend. I've liked the author's other book, Nocturne, so much that I am more than willing to try this one out!
And other times a book that's new to me might appeal me to read more about it based on its cover. I know they always told us in school not to judge a book by its cover, but ever since I've started blogging I've been totally wowed by covers! It has definitely led me to discover new reads! As you all know, my obsession with 13 to Life started when I saw the cover at RT 2010! And the series has totally blown me away and the covers are still awesome!
