Ten Things That Will Instantly Make Me Want To Read A Book

Ten Things That Will Instantly Make Me Want To Read A Book

April 18, 2017 Posted by angelreads Features, Top Ten Tuesday 13 Comments

Instantly

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they post a new Top Ten list that members at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. Everyone join as you please. This week’s topic is Top Ten Things That Will Instantly Make Me Want To Read A Book 

I normally pick up a book for a couple of reasons, but there are some things that will make me want to pick up a book instantly. And today that is what I am going to talk about. Like always these are in no particular order. 

Bad Boy: If a book has a bad boy there is a very high chance that I am going to pick it up. I don’t know what it is. I love that they can have this tough exterior, but on the inside, they are soft and just fall in love. I think my love for bad boys has to come from me reading lots of ‘bad boy’ stories on Wattpad. I can’t help it. 

Friends to Lovers: Again Wattpad has a lot of influence of my contemporary reads. And this trope just reels me right in. I love that a pair can already have this connection and then slowly things start to change and I love seeing them fall in love. 

Hate to Love: This is the opposite of the above, but it’s just as much fun. I love how a couple can hate each other so much. But underlining everything, they are like each other and can connect over things they didn’t think that they could. 

Magic: I didn’t hesitate to add this one to my list. I’ve always loved magic in any form and there is a very high chance that I will pick up a book instantly because it features magic. From witches to simply elemental powers, I love it all. 

Bad Ass Protagonist: If the female protagonists is up there fighting, I am so for it. I think that is why I love Vampire Academy so much.  I want more and more books like this. We need no men to fight for us! 

Sports: I don’t know if you guys know this but I love sports. Well, I like to watch sports. I can’t play all too well. If you follow me on twitter then you know AFL season is back and I so ready. So that is why if a book has some sort of sport attached it to, I will mostly likely want to instantly pick it up. 

Cassandra Clare: I don’t think I need to explain much here, if Cassandra Clare has written the book then I am going to read it, basically instantly. In saying that check out my Infernal Devices read-a-long that starts this month

Protagonist with a Disability…or close to the protagonist: At the start of the year I spoke about my struggle with Chronic Pain and because of that and other medical conditions I have, I love reading books with disabilities. If a book features a protagonist with a disability or someone from their family, I will want to instantly pick it up. 

Family Orientated: I am a very family orientated person. I am the oldest of 3 siblings, and the oldest of all my 1st cousins. I love caring for them. So when a book has a very close family, I will love it. You don’t see it much in YA and I really want more of it. I love more love with families, more caring. 

Best Friends Brother/Brothers Best Friend: Yes, this is on my list. Like, how could it not be here? It’s adorable and cute and just makes me squeal. I love the interaction, the outcomes, the reactions. It’s just a ride. 

And that is it for this week? What are some of the things that make you want to pick up a book instantly? Do we share any of the same things? Let’s Chat! 

I love talking so talk to me over on my twitter @angel_reads, Facebook, instagram, tumblr and Goodreads. You can also follow Angel Reads on Bloglovin and via email (in the sidebar)

    Yes, yes, YES to all of these! lol! Except for maybe the Cassandra Clare but that’s only because I’ve never read any of her books before, so it looks like I’m going to have to check them out. Great list!

    I love books about families, and you’re right, it’s not something you see a lot of in YA. Too often the parents are non-existent and the teenagers are just doing whatever they want.

April was a very good reading month for me, especi April was a very good reading month for me, especially after last month. I had some really fantastic reads in April. I did do a lot of re-reading this month but I had such blast. I re-read Caught Up and Play Along and the first 4 books in the Ironside Academy series. 📚

I read some books that I’ve been waiting for including the new book from Kels and Denise Stone, as well as the new Tessa Hale. ✨

Overall it was such a good month, lots of binge reading series and starting on some new authors. I’m so excited to see what May brings. 🖤

What was your favourite book that you read in April?

IT’S RACE WEEK! 🏎️ If you didn’t know al IT’S RACE WEEK! 🏎️

If you didn’t know already I love F1, have ever since I was younger and decided that this year it would be fun to combined my love for F1 and reading together. 📚

After a week off we are back at it. We are in Miami this week’s and things are only just heating up. This week I’m reading Falling Off the Cliff  Kanitha P.

…

Formula 1 legend in the making and rising star Thiago Valencia is chasing redemption as well as his second World Champion title. With a tarnished reputation and an undetermined future in F1 that hangs by a terribly loose thread, he can’t afford to lose his seat. Thiago is ready to do anything to redeem himself and erase his past mistakes. When a mysterious woman intrudes on his private party in Monte Carlo, he is certain the universe has brought his polar opposite into his life as salvation. He is sunshine, she is moonlight; he is a bright star and she is a moonbeam.

Destiny takes the wheel, steering Kamari into Thiago’s orbit, but her open disdain and closely guarded heart warn her to stay away. Enchanted by her charms, Thiago is intent on melting her freezing barriers and tearing down the walls shielding her heart.

When Kamari agrees to help him save his future by being his fake girlfriend, the unexpected happens, triggered by a game of lies, secrets and desire.

As they plunge towards the finish line, the race veers offtrack and neither of them are ready to fall off the cliff.
… 

How Race Week Reads Will Work 

On Monday of race week I’ll announce the book I’ll be reading for the week, then throughout the week I’ll be posting stories and my thoughts. And then on Sunday, race day my review and final thoughts will go up.

A little late but I am finally getting to share Ra A little late but I am finally getting to share Race 5’s Race Week Reads review. This week I read, Downforce (Pit Lane #1) by Hannah Lily.

🏎️ Review 🏎️

I had so much fun reading this book. I knew I was in for a ride as soon as I started Downforce. It was entertaining, fun, and I just had a good time reading it. And while it does explore some heavy topics, I don’t think it took away from the fun nature of the book.

Right from the start, we can see the tension between F1 Presenter, Olivia Fraser and F1 Driver, Jonah Scott. And while silly at times, it was fun seeing them interact together. Both really didn’t like each other. They both had said things about and to one another that sometimes it caused chaos. And I was here for it.

I did find that at times, just silly things happened. I am not a massive rom-com reader, and there was a lot of falling into one another, and arguments stemmed from nothing. This is honestly just because I don’t like these types of scenes, but it didn’t really make me dislike the book at all.

I loved the whole road trip aspect of the book, it’s different from other F1 books I’ve read so far this year and just made for some interesting banter and lust. I do wish that the road trip was a little longer than it was because I did feel like the romance moved pretty quickly here, but again, it didn’t really affect how much I was enjoying the book.

The romance was this combination of being slow burn and full of angst right at the start, to the road trip happening and then bam. But I loved it, though. The banter between Olivia and Jonah was fantastic. I loved seeing them grow not only with one another but with themselves as well.

Overall, I had a great time reading Downforce and will be continuing the series for sure when the other books come out. The romance was angsty and just felt right. The found family aspect really worked well here, and the F1 aspects were pretty okay. Not the best I’ve seen, but not the worst either. If you are looking for a fun read that has a great romance and a little rom-comy, then pick this one up.
I’ve already had a pretty amazing reading year. I’ve already had a pretty amazing reading year. There have been so many books that I have enjoyed but there are some that I have just loved. 🖤

I didn’t realise before I put this post together that all of these books are from authors I’ve read and loved before. There hasn’t been a Rebecca Yarros book that I haven’t rated under 4 Stars. Elsie Silver is just making me love everything that she writes. Wild and Wrangled may be my favourite in the series. 📖

Three rereads also made it to this list. Binding 13 still makes me gasp and smile all at the same time. And Caught Up and Play Along just hit every time. 📚

I’ve honestly had a great year so far and since making this post a few more books I’ve read I’ve ended up loving. It’s going to be hard to pick my favourites at the end of the year that is for sure. ✨

What books have you loved reading this year? Are any books that made my list on yours? Let me know!
