BOOKING THROUGH THURSDAY

Todays question is this:

“What words/phrases in a blurb make a book irresistible? What words/phrases will make you put the book back down immediately?”


What a great question!  Okay, my list of great words in the book blurb are:

• Historical
• triumph of the human spirit
• unrequited love
• the power of love
• family bonds or family relationships

The words or phrases that make me put the book down:

• "heaving bosom" type words (not that I don't like a good romp in the old historical hay but...)
• anything involving disturbing content like inappropriate family relationships (you know what I mean)
• murder of a child
• cop type books
• political thrillers
• horror

What are yours??
