Top Ten is an original feature/weekly meme originally created by The Broke and the Bookish and is now hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl that features a great bookish top ten every week.
This weeks Top Ten Tuesday is things that make me pick up a book.
Ash-
1. Bright colors on the cover
2. Beautiful cover with a lot of flowers, trees, nature type things
3. Beautiful fantasy looking cover (Mermaids, unicorns, horses, such like that)
4. If the cover looks super creepy or If the cover has creepy letters
5. If it has a lovey dovey/cutesy cover
6. If the book has an interesting title (especially the long titles)
7. If it's an author I've read before, there's a few I always pick up their books when they come out with new ones. Some of my favorites are Laurie Faria Stolarz, April Henry, Dawn Kurtagich, Jay Asher.
8. If it has a pretty model on it (I love books that show characters on the covers)
9. If it's a new cover for a book I've read - Can't find any examples, but when they change covers I always want to pick up the new cover and check it out.
10. If it has a lot of blues/purples/pinks

I feel like we've talked about this a lot recently. All the reasons why a book catches our eye. But I will do it again, because I enjoy talking about covers. (Also had way too much fun with this one, whoops)

Okay so mine won't be as intense as Ash's but here is my top 10
1. If it's an author I have read before and loved then it's automatic for me. Sometimes I don't even read the synopsis.
2. A very different and interesting title. Strange titles always pull me in. Like this one:
3. Cute covers. I love adorable, cartoonish, vintage, retro, covers... like these...
4. Mental health issue books. I love these. Even though they are fictional, I feel I always come out knowing more than I did when I started.
5. A farytale retelling always grabs my attention. Most of the time just knowing its a retelling I will read the book.
6. When I see my blogger friends that have similiar taste rave about the book. I will read it.
7. Bold and Big lettering for the title. These always make me turn my head twice when I see them on the shelf.
8. Any book that has a creepy looking cover...
9. Any time a book likes like its a space opera or space adventure.
10. ZOMBIES....always good to read about zombies
AHHH, There's so many books to add to my TBR because they have pretty covers!! Why did you do this to me lol.
ReplyDeleteOOoh nice items!! Find myself agreeing with a lot of them and loving your examples too! Seeing some I read, some I need to read and screaming at the lack of time for them all! Lol!

I won't lie, all those bright colored covers together dazzled me. I can appreciate all different kinds of covers, but a well designed cover is kind of a must for me.
ReplyDeleteBright-colored covers really do stand out, and I like covers with trees or leaves or something nature-y on them, too.
