Things That Instantly Make Me Want to Read a Book

banner

Linking up with That Artsy Reader Girl.

So many reasons to pick up and read a book. And I miss out on some from  being human and not able to read all my eye beholds.
Yours Truly

A newly published book by a newly loved author, these days there are just about more than I can keep up with. And they keep growing, for example I think of Abby Jimenez, I totally loved The Happy Ever After Playlist so I want anything she has written.

And then of course all the old auto read authors I have on my list. Even if I might have been a bit disappointed in their last book I still want to read them.

If a book is set in Scotland I’ll certainly want to at least read it or take a really good look at it.

Or if it is set somewhere that appeals to me like Nantucket. Or any kind of beach sounding read.

Talking of settings I always fall for a book set in a bookshop or a library and will most likely want to/have to read it. Or its main character is a novelist.

If I read a blog review of a book and it has some elements I really like then I really want to read it now even though I have so many to read.

If I know it is a HEA or a HFN well that moves it up the list. I really need to read those kind of books that have hope and positivity in them. But it does have to have a bit of meat to it and really interesting characters.

The book is part of a great series and I just have to know what is happening next. As soon as it publishes I am there for it.

If its contemporary, about characters down in the rough, but ready to get up and fight there way back, then I am all for it.

A book that everyone is talking about, it might be a huge reader favourite and. even if it doesn’t sound like me I want to try it to see if it could be. And yes I haven’t read this one…. but I want to try it.

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? a place to meet up and share what you have been, and are about to be reading over the week. It’s a great post to organise yourself. It’s an opportunity to visit and comment and er… add to your groaning TBR pile! So welcome in everyone. This meme started on J Kaye’s blog and then was hosted by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn here at The Book Date.
Jen Vincent, Teach Mentor Texts, and Kellee of Unleashing Readers decided to give It’s Monday! a kidlit focus. If you read and review books in children’s literature – picture books, chapter books, middle grade novels, young adult novels or anything in those genres – join them.

I had a great week, the weather was mostly miserable but such is weather. I went to book club – on the wrong night so I had two nights going out, the second one being the correct night. Some of my sisters visited my niece to see her house and garden – 35 min travel, and we were there. She had oodles of bookcases!!

What I read last week:

The Happy Ever After Playlist was so good on audiobook, so I need to listen to more by this author. Fault Lines was my slow and steady read and gave a great picture of Tokyo and a family – particularly the wife. A Hard Day for a Hangover – so good, so sorry to see the trilogy come to an end. I hope Darynda Jones writes more contemporary novels.

What I am reading now:

My slow and steady book is…Take My Hand

Hope you all had a great week. My joy of the week was when my great niece ( Miss 7)  sent me a voice message to tell me she was so delighted with herself because she had just read her first book all by herself. She had enjoyed a big book of Billie B. Brown ( by an Australian author).  It was so good to hear the excitement in her voice. Makes me want to run out and buy her some more in the series!  I don’t remember being able to read the first book by myself, do you? I imagine though its like that first wobble off riding a two wheeler by yourself and I do remember that.

I had a good time in the city yesterday, met up with a friend and we went by bus around the harbour, had lunch by the beach and then came back across the harbour by ferry and then back by bus the last little bit. The weather was perfect and though Autumn is setting in there were lots of people out enjoying it all.

What I am reading now:

I borrowed this one from the library and as soon as I got it of course it had to go right up front on my reading.
