Top Ten Tuesday: Words/Topics that'll make me pick up/buy a book

hosted by: The Broke and the Bookish.

1. Thief/Convict: Anytime I know that a thief is involved in a story, I know I'm pretty much going to be hooked.

2. Witch/Wizard: If there's magic involved, I know I'll at least try it out.

3. Fairy tale re-tellings: I love a good fairy tale, in whatever incarnation it comes.

4. Boarding school: I've always wondered what it would be like to go to a boarding school, and since that is no longer an option for my life, I like to read about them and pretend.

5. Mystery/Thriller: I like to try and figure out what's going to happen in these kind of books before we are told, although more often than not, I'm wrong.

6. Music:  I love music, so anything that has to do with music intrigues me.  I went through a period of time in middle school where I'd only read books if there was music involved. so, yeah.

7. New York:  After living there for 6 months, I desperately want to go back.  Until then, these books are my friends.  Also, I love being able to say I've been to the places that are mentioned in the books.

8. Dystopia:  I'm not ashamed.  I love "alternate" futures where the government may or may not be corrupt.  I am fascinated by the creativity and the honesty that are poured into dystopian books.

9. Movie Adaptations: I'm one of those people that has to read the book first.  When I find out a movie is based on a book, it 1) makes me want to see the movie even more and 2) makes me want to read the book.

10. Classics: I love classics; probably because it makes me feel cultured when I read them, but also because the writing is so beautiful.
