Top Ten Tuesday #12
Top
Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.
Top Ten Words/Topics That Instantly Make Me Buy/Pick Up A Book
1. Dystopian. (I love dystopian novels, so I always check out books that describe it as such!)
2. Best Friends Falling in Love (I really like stories where best friends realize they have feelings for each other! I don't know why it's so sweet, but it is.)
3. Time Travel/ Parallel Universes (Yes please! I love reading about time travel done right.)
4. YA Historical Fantasy (More books like Rae Carson's Fire and Thorns series or R.L. LaFevers' His Fair Assassins series? YES PLEASE!)
5. Hot guys falling in love with the nerd girls (It's fun to watch that kind of romance bloom.)
6. Sci-Fi Fantasy/Dystopian (I love sci-fi, fantasy, and dystopian. Naturally, I'd like them together!)
7. 'Torn between.... '(Yes, I like a well-done love triangle.)
8. Fae/Fairies (I love reading about the Fae- especially the Seelie and Unseelie Courts. They completely fascinate me!)
9. God/Goddess/Mythology (I like contemporaries that mix in mythology- Percy Jackson, Goddess Test, etc. )
10. Dual POV's. (I love reading books told from multiple POV's. Especially when it's the love interest's!)

Everyone but me thought of love triangles I'm kicking myself! I agree with all of those especially #10. Dual POV's can be so fun to read if it's done right.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT :)
Exactly! Alot of these only work when they're done correctly. I'm really lucky to have read quite a few great Dual POV books lately though, so I forget about the bad ones!
DeleteWe have a lot that are the same! I absolutely LOVE dual POVs. Prefer them, actually.
ReplyDeleteCheck out my TTT!
I love them too! I love getting inside the guy's head especially.
DeleteFae FTW! I love books with faeries in them... I also like that you can enjoy a good love triangle. Great list!
ReplyDeleteTeresa @ Readers Live A Thousand Lives
I love fae books! Julie Kagawa really got me into them and I've been hooked ever since!
DeleteAwww books about best friends falling in love are some of the best. And I do also enjoy books about the hot guy going for the nerd girl. It gives me so much hope :) Great list :)
ReplyDeleteHere's my Top Ten!
Haha! Yes! It gives me hope too because I always say I'm a big nerd (and mighty proud of it!)
DeleteBest friends falling in love is one of my favorites! Love Greek mythology too! I like when books have multiple POV as well. I like getting to know the love interest better. Great list :)
ReplyDeleteJasmine
Me too Jasmine! I love hearing the others' thoughts and feelings! And Greek mythology is my favorite, though I've become a big fan of Egyptian lately too.
DeleteI love everything on your list but Dual POV. Most of the time it is done badly and drives me up a wall. There are a few exceptions like Across the Universe series. I just hate head hopping especially first person head hopping. UGH!
ReplyDeleteMelissa, I agree. I have read some pretty bad dual POV's but lately, I've been lucky enough to come across some good ones. I haven't read Across the Universe yet, but it's on my TBR!
DeleteYay! I put dual POV on my list, too! :)
ReplyDeleteKate @ Ex Libris
Dual POV's for the win! I really like them when they're done correctly.
DeleteGreat list!! I agree with everything you said.

Thanks Alice! I love time travel and parallel universes. I haven't read one of those in awhile!

:D Right?! I love best friends falling for each other and when the nerdy girl gets the hot guy. Those stories always make me squee. :)
DeleteI love best friends falling in love! My favorite example of that is Jay and Violet from The Body Finder series. <3 your list!
ReplyDeleteAnnie :)
Ah! I haven't read that series yet, but I've heard Jay and Violet are adorable. I plan to read it this summer. (Hopefully!) Thanks Annie!
DeleteThere should definitely be more best friends falling in love books. I can't get enough of those.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes to dual POV and hot guys falling love with nerd books! :D
