Top Ten Things On Our Reading Wishlist

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week's Top Ten list is "Top Ten Things On Our Reading Wishlist".

Duologies
NO MORE MIDDLE-BOOK-SYNDROME!

Historical Fiction

Imperial Russia
Victorian London
1920s New York
1950s New Orleans
Ancient Egypt
Old West

Dark Characters/Evil POVs/Dark Retellings

Book Playlists

Assassins/Spies/Confident Females

Agreeing with Nicole on #5. Spies!
Definitely love a good or funny spy story.

Alternating POVS

Absolutely love getting multiple point of views!

Scary books

Not so much horror exactly but I definitely could use more scary and eerie stories

Fairy tale re-tellings

Non-traditional narration?

What I mean is not just straight narration. I like it when the author mixes it up a bit. Like in Another Little Piece, there were poems throughout the story. In Attachments by Rainbow Rowell there are funny emails between characters. Fangirl has the tidbits of fanfiction. I really enjoy and do not encounter, the changes format/method of narration... hope that makes sense :)

I love a playlist in a book. I'm a massive music fan so I like to have it incorporated. Great list!

Agreed. So many trilogies should be duologies because the second books are just filler. And yes, assassins!

I love alternating POVs, so yes, more of those please. And I do enjoy books like Attachments (with the e-mails), etc. Meant To Be does that a bit with the texts. And The Sky is Everywhere has poetry in it.

Great lists!!

Non-traditional narration could definitely be cool. Like how death narrates The Book Thief...there definitely needs to be more stuff like that. And I love dark characters and creepy stories! Gimme some more of that, too!
