This week’s prompt is the opposite of last week’s but just as difficult. Maybe even harder. Plotlines I always want to read? Well, I do like novels about people who learn about themselves. Especially if they’re people who live alone and kind of like it that way and read a lot. I enjoy a plotline where these kinds of people – my people – find a few other people that maybe they can connect with, especially if they connect over books. Any book set in a bookstore with an introverted main character will attract my attention.
I also have certain subjects I’m interested in: Mental health, physical illness or disability, motherhood (in particular the challenges of it), race/racism, and travel. These are usually appealing topics for me, though not always.
That’s all I can think of for this one! What about you guys? What are some of your favourite plotlines or topics? What will always get your attention?
Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge is a blog hop hosted every Wednesday by Long and Short Reviews. The weekly prompts range widely, including both book-related and non-book-related topics. The idea is to get bloggers to interact, share a bit about their lives and connect with other bloggers. Click here for the list of upcoming topics, and visit here to join in the fun!
I really like murder mysteries…unfortunately, I don’t think that is probably a rational “plot” to love…someone usually dies…I just got to thinking how screwed up that is…
Hahahaha! Yes, I fully empathize with that sentiment! It’s odd, isn’t it, how much pleasure and entertainment we can get out of really bad things happening! Mostly I love the puzzle aspect of it. I’d be just as happy solving a different kind of mystery, I think, if it were well written!
It’s cool to see characters learn about themselves and grow for sure.
I agree. I always feel like reading is getting to know the characters, and like with people you know in real life, part of what makes it interesting is seeing how they change over time! It’s particularly interesting when the book skips through time, because then you can see how different decisions and views on the world work out for them!
