Top Ten Tuesday: Descriptive Book Words That I Love


I love the top ten prompt this week! We are to list words or phrases (most likely found in a book description or blurb) that makes us want to buy a book, maybe even right that very moment. Here's a few I like:

 Top Ten Words/Phrases That Make Me Want to Buy a Book

 1. a haunting and chilling tale
2.  epic... anything
3. a soap opera-y saga
4. the curse of the forbidden love
5. full of quirky humor
6. a magnificant medieval adventure
7. saturated with court intrigue
8. there's a dark and mysterious stranger
9. a rockin and rollin music mash up
10. complicated by a many-layered plot

 I could go on....

 Can you imagine a book, one book, that would be described by all those words I've listed? Wow. 

 What words would be on your list? Write a post and link up over at The Broke and the Bookish!

    "Epic" will do it for me too - and it makes me reach for tea because I know I'll be settling in with the book for a while :-)

    Wow! You should be a blurb writer -- those are some very compelling words :) And I agree, epic and saga are two I cannot resist.

    Quirky, smart humor is the best. I hate slap stick, but if you give me an author's that equally humorous, intelligent, and quirky I'm sold.

    Epic will do it for me too. I love epic tales, even if they take a long time to get through. Heck, I guess that's why I love them! :) Great list!
