This week’s topic is Things That Make Me Instantly Want To Read A Book. I’m more of a planner than a mood reader so I’ll rarely just pick up a particular book on a whim. But there are some things that will make me instantly add a book to my wishlist:

1. The next book in a series I’ve enjoyed
2. A new book by a favourite author
3. The first book in a new series by a favourite author
4. An original sounding book in my favourite genre – historical fiction
5. A book on a literary prize longlist/shortlist such as the Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction
6. A book from a publisher (especially indy) whose previous books I’ve enjoyed
7. An enthusiastic review by a blogger who shares my reading tastes
8. A great blurb – concise, intriguing and doesn’t give away too much away
9. A book I’ve heard an author talk about at a literary festival
10. A book recommended by an author whose books I enjoy

What makes you instantly want to read a book – or add it to your wishlist?
