What Makes Me Want to Read?

This week’s topic is things that make me instantly want to read a book. I’m a visual person and the things listed below will prove that (see #1 & #2) HA!

1. Cover color

I like bright colors mostly, but I am definitely more drawn to yellow, pink, and teal/turquoise. So, if it is one of those colors, it will probably read it.

2. Cover artwork/picture

Even if it is a simple picture, and it looks appealing, I will want to read it.

3. The subject/genre

I tend to read more light and fun romances, whodunnits, books about running, cats, and travel, and more recently, historical fiction, so if it fits one of those categories, I will pick it up (or check it out).

4. Reviews

If I continually see good reviews on a book, even if it doesn’t fit these other “criteria” listed, I may still read it (or at least start it).

5. Recommendations by close friends and family members

I can usually trust my friends and family 🙂

6. Location

If it sounds like a fun location, is a place I want to visit, or somewhere I’ve been, count me in!

7. Travel

I like to travel (see #6).

8. By an author I already love

If an author has recently books that I already love, then their other books must be good too.

9. The title

If an author can capture my interest in just a few words, I’m certain to (probably) like the book.

10. Winter & Christmas

This goes without saying, I love Christmas and winter, so if a book has a winter setting, and storyline in winter and/or about Christmas, it will be read 🙂
