What do you look for in a book?

Basically, im wondering what your ideal book would be? What do you look for? What would make it perfect?

For some odd reason i love sad books... like i have read the series of "A Child Called "It" and those were amazing... and "A Walk To Remember", "Notebook".... things like that...

Ew... not a big fan of reading

but if i must, love stories all the way.

something that gives me butterflies and makes me cry.

lol.... i'm such a girl

I change so much in my choice of books... when I was like 13-15 i lovedstories about adventures and magic like...Inkheart...Inkspell...etc...
Now i like comedy-romance novel.like "BET ME" that was an awesome book and I actually found it on a cruise in the library. it wasnt the librarie's and it made me actually enjoy the cruise. we were meant to be.
and the other one which was hillarious as ever "can you keep a secret?"
And young adult non fiction.
I also like manga too.

I LOVE TO READ!

when i was in high school i was really into Mary higgins Clark books. not so much anymore though.

I find myself reading books about romance, time travel love (Kiss of the Highlander is one of the best books ever writen if you ask me! ya'll should read it!)

For the most part, i like books that show strong women. all of Mary Higgins Clark's books are like that. Nora Roberts is amazing and i like Judy Blume's books (summer sisters is a good one)

A walk to remember was better to read than to watch. as well as the harry potter books! (i read a wide range of books!) The Carpenters Wife was a beautiful romance book based off of a made up little island.

need any good books to read, just ask me. heck, i'll even send em out to ya! reading is a passion for me :)

Jennifer: Who wrote the book. Kiss of the highlander?

Alex: What is your novel about?

I also love to read. Let me just say I am never Bored when I am alone.

I only try to read books that influence me in a good way.

books about someone going against the odds or a history book about prevailing characters of the past.
a book that will set my soul afire and contribute to my character and my greatness should i ever come close to being great

A Nice Cover...I always judge a book by it's cover first :D

Fiction
something dark
angst-filled
very little, to not too prevalent romance,
unless it's a tragic/ unrequited romance
"romantic", poetic, or some sort of interesting and unique language or style
not a lot/ no comedy, only if it derives from the plot and does not take away from the angst
science fiction, horror, action, political thriller, drama, historical, short stories, coming of age, and some fantasy

my perfect novel involves homosexuals in 1980s British punk culture

non-fiction
well-researched, multiple perspectives on a single issue, dialogues with a famous person, medical journals, psychology, journals, memoirs, historical accounts, WWII, the holocaust, religion, political papers

I'll have to check when i go home. i know her last name is Moning but i cant remember her first name. i read it in like... a day and a half (i work to much to get anymore time to read that the three hours a day!)

i definently recommend that book to absolutely anyone who wants to read an amazing book!

What do I look for in a book?

Pictures....

BlankIllusion: Do you really think you're my buddy...?

I don't think so...

We're not buddies...We're just "how do you say" strangers...And that is all...

Good Boy...

Lol...BlankIllusion..

That is a nice way to describe yourself, being over-weight that is, and at the same time being a loyal doggie...

Good Show...

When I need humor...I will read the DaVinci Code...But other than that...Thank you I will not need it.

Alex: Sounds pretty cool. I have I believe 2 fantasy's Im writting that are about unexisting lands, and creature's/ races that don't exist. It's quite fun writting topic's that allow your imagination too just run free:).
Pm.. And perhaps we can dicuss this further:)

And Jennifer, I do belive you are talking about Karen Marie Moning?
