Question of the day: What are your Bookish Buzzwords? #QotD
As in, what words in a synopsis or description immediately make you interested in a book?
If it is queer, I probably want to read it. If it has a theatre setting, yup, I want it. Is it set in Edinburgh? That's my favourite city. Are they going on an adventure? I want to go along.
Be sure to tag me in an responses so I can see them!
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks This is the word that first came to mind, “unputdownable.” For the opposite reason though! I can‘t stand this word and I don‘t know why! Lol 😂 🤦🏼♀️🤷♀️ 3y
kathytrithardt @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks like an anti buzzword?! 🤣 3y
Tamra “Spare” 😊 3y
rwmg "For fans of" and "in the tradition of" are definitely my antibuzzwords. I read them as "trying to cash in on". Also, the more exclamation marks in the blurb (a particular sin of online blurbs) the less likely I am to read it 3y
