Top Ten Things That Make Me Instantly Want to Read a Book!

1. Hate-to-Love Romance!  I'm a sucker for it.  My favorite contemporary novel last year, The Hating Game, is the perfect example of this! I love it so much.

2. Badass Female Characters!  Yes, give me all the strong ladies!  Even if they aren't "traditionally" strong, I feel like if they stick up for their beliefs, stay true to who they are, then they're badass.  But being able to kick butt helps, too.

3. Myths!  I love when novels include myths and legends and gods and goddesses.  I can't help but want to read anything that brings in these things.

4.  Road trips!  Especially when they lead to interesting and sometimes awkward situations between a couple I ship! 

5. Bad Boys!  Chances are if the blurb mentions a batboy, I'm 90% more likely to pick it up and read it.

6. Magic! Fantasy is my favorite genre.  Please, give me some made up worlds and epic powers.

7. Summery Feels!  If I am reading a contemporary, I want it to make me feel like it's summer! I love summertime mischief in books. 

8.  Faeries!  This kind of goes hand in hand with magic, but faeries are my favorite magical creatures.  I think they're so interesting and there's so many ways to right them.  

9. Sibling Relationships!  I love when there's a strong relationship between siblings in the books I read.  The book I just recently read that had the best sibling relationships is To All the Boys I've Loved Before. 

10. Gorgeous Covers!  I'll admit it, I totally buy books just because they'd look pretty on my bookshelf.  If it had a pretty cover AND sound amazing, it's a win-win!
