13 Things That Make Me Pick Up (And Buy) A Book In no particular order of importance here 1. The cover 2. The back cover blurb 3. An excerpt that intrigues me 4. A recommendation from someone whose reading tastes are similar to mine 5. A really clever advertising campaign (have seen a few in Romantic Times magazine that were just great) 6. Word of mouth 7. Big buzz…especially in blogland 8. My mood at the time. Sometimes I want funny, sometimes I want dark. Sometimes I want reallllllly romantic. 9. The author is an autobuy for me 10. If I’ve received an ARC from an author, I will buy their book. It’s only fair (hint hint…send me ARCs) 11. The book just released is part of a series I’m reading 12. The author is one of my friends. I always support my friends 13. It’s a nonrelated-to-romance topic I’m interested in. Right now I’m into Rachael Ray’s cookbooks in a big way. So what makes you pick up a book and buy it? |
