This week's theme for Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, is "Buzzwords or phrases that make me want to read or avoid a book." I thought I'd list them in one list because I couldn't think of ten each. So here they are, want to read and/or avoid! I know if I see this in the tagline I will either love it or lump it, lol.
Happy reading y'all!
1. Cozy- Read it for sure! I love anything listed as cozy, especially mysteries.
2. Pirates or the Caribbean- Read! Anything with these vibes or just the beach in general will get me every time.
3. Baking or cooking- Avoid....It isn't that I don't like recipes or baking or cooking per se but not in the book I'm reading. It just isn't how I want to spend my reading time.
4. Fantasy- Avoid....I do not like anything fantasy based including Harry Potter books. Even as a child, I preferred stories that really happened or could have.
5. Egypt or pyramids- definite read! I am such a sucker for this location that I have read some truly awful books because I was hoping for that Egyptian feel.
6. Mysteries, clues- read....you almost don't have to say anything else to get me to at least check out the book. I love all things mysteries.
7. Dogs- avoid...okay dog lovers don't kill me! I just am not a dog person so any story with this as the focus is not going to be on my list.
8. Cats- read....hence the reason I love any book with cats as the focus. I have three at home that I love dearly.
9. Enemies to lovers- avoid...I don't like romance books in general but this particular trope annoys me. I think because most of the time you see it coming a mile away.
10. Based on a true story- read...whether it's history or mystery based I love books that include characters who were real or could have been. I also love knowing the setting is realistic.
