This week's topic is: Things That Make Me Pick Up a Book
*in no particular order
10. DARK COLORS--since I'm a paranormal reader first, when I see a cover with dark colors it usually catches my attention and has me grabbing it to see what it's all about!
9. PARANORMAL--a cover that just screams Paranormal like 13 to Life has me grabbing the book faster than you can blink! Lol.
8. FANTASY--a gorgeous fantasy cover like the original Magic Study one catches my eye pretty quick too! Amazon initially recommended me this one..with no previous mentioning of Poison Study, so luckily I caught on pretty quick to that one!
7. SPRAYED PAGES--yeah, sprayed pages totally catches my eyes these days! Of course those are ones that are more specially ordered but it's still reminiscent of the gold lined pages some of my classics had in the beginning!
6. JENNIFER L. ARMENTROUT--if I see Jennifer's name on it, I'm usually grabbing it! Though I still steer clear of contemporaries as it's just a genre I can't get into.
5. STEPHANIE GARBER--it's safe to add Stephanie to the same list as Jennifer! I'll always pick up her books (in several different editions too!) if the genre's right!
4. COLORFUL COVERS--covers like A Thousand Pieces of You totally catch my eye with their gorgeousness! *I still need to finish this trilogy!!
3. KICKASS HEROINES--when the cover features a kickass powerful heroine it totally grabs my attention!
2. A RETELLING OF...--when the cover straight up tells you it's a fairy tale retelling, I pay attention! Lol. Though in recent years they don't really say it on the cover but you get the idea from the description!
1. WOODSY COVERS--similar to why I picked up 13 to Life, when a cover has a woodsy scene it grabs my eye! I don't know why woodsy scenes grab my attention since they don't always mean werewolves. But I guess there was always just something mysterious and eerie about the woods and I love when a story happens there!
