Hosted each week by The Broke and the Bookish, it's a meme for listing the top ten for everything bookish.
This is a difficult one for me to come up with...
It's usually the whole synopsis that makes me want to read a book, not certain words or topics.But there are a few...
1. ALIENS!!!!!
I have an OBSESSION with aliens!! But I am sad to say that there are just not enough alien books.
Some awesome alien books:
2. Time Travel
I also LOVE time travel! I'm a big Doctor Who fan and have dreams of inventing the time machine! So books about time travel? HECK YES!
Some awesome time travel books:
3. Pretty Covers
This is kind of self-explanatory. You see a book with a pretty cover, you wanna pick it up.
Some pretty covers: (I can go on and on and on with this one)
4. Blue Covers
I have an unusual attraction to blue covers. Maybe there's just a lot of blue covers, I don't know. But I seem to read A LOT of books with blue covers.
As proof of how many blue books I read, here are the blue books I read this month:
6. Dystopian Settings
Dystopian is my favorite genre, so if a synopsis mentions a dystopian world, I add it to my To-Read list.
Some awesome dystopian books: (I could honestly go on and on about dystopian books)
7. Post-Apocalyptic
Same thing as Dystopian books. If it mentions the Apocalypse, I want to read it.
(Favorites very similar to the dystopians, since Goodreads can't tell the difference between dystopians and apocalyptic books...)
8. Ghosts
I get scared easily, but for some odd reason, I love ghost stories.
Some awesome books with ghosties in it:
9. Zombies
I don't know why I like zombie books... maybe because they are usually apocalyptic?
Some awesome zombie books:
10. Superpowers
I haven't been a big fan of this lately. I have always wanted superpowers, which is why I used to like this topic, but now this is getting overplayed in books.
Some awesome books with superpowers in it:
Probably the only books series I've read that has non-paranormal related superpowers...
So, what makes you pick up a book?
Great list! I am SO with you on the alien one - love JLA's books! :D The superpowers topic is awesome too, but you're right, it's hard to find good books in that genre.
