A word list is only second to a book list and if I could I’d have totally made a much, much longer one. But no bonuses because a ten is a ten and self-control is err, a good thing?
I’m an adventure-aholic and I cannot lie. Okay so I cannot for the life of me watch horror movies or have enough courage to go for a rollercoaster ride. Not yet anyway. But adventure for me is something I get an adrenaline rush from and I’d never say no to it if it stares at me in my face. So books with adventures in them? Yes, please.
Dangerous secrets undones you and there is nothing more saucy than secrets. Kind of reminds me of some historical era or some sci-fi awesomeness. Secrets are like essential in books anyway. Think The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer and Pushing the Limits.
Be it emotional or physical, survival books always teach you something. And the good thing is that it comes in the shapes of dystopia, sci-fi, contemporary, paranormal and fantasy. I mean all of Harry Potter was essentially about survival and look how popular it is!
When you’re on the run, there’s bound to be action and a lot of moments that are just breathtaking. You just never have to let go or you die. This fascinates me.
A lot of things can happen at parties and then there’s music in them. There’s just something so mystically attractive about hundreds of bodies moving to the beat of the music. Remember The DUFF? City of Bones? From What I Remember…? The list is endless.
Okay, I live for such books. Undeniable attraction is way better than boring companionship or that’s just how I like my books.
I don’t even need to read another word of the blurb if I come across this. Road trips are just so freakin’ awesome! Radio on, speakers blaring music, windows down and everything illuminated by the sun.
I’m a big fan of what if, I think of what ifs all day long and reading about characters going through what ifs is just great and so thought-provoking. Who said books are useless?
Remember crazy attraction? This is another variation which brings on crazy banter and there’s usually a bad boy involved. I find these books to be irresistible. Onyx? Perfect Chemistry? Classic.
Eiffel Tower is the best thing to ever happen and the ambience of Paris is just about perfect. The best romance happens there and in Amsterdam (The Fault In Our Stars, guys!).
What words are on you list? Leave a link!
I like books with adventure and survival as well! 🙂

Great list. Paris also gets to me, reason why I picked up Die for me in the first place.
Here is my TTT
ooh, these are good. i esp. like falling for the guy she thought she hated and What if? awesome. 🙂 ~daphne
heck yeah road trip!!! 🙂 that's always bound to be a good time. also… love that you put 'falling for the guy she thought she hated' — haha i am so with you on that one!
I love road trips and crazy attraction. Great list!
I do love a book with adventure, dangerous secrets, or a girl falling for a guy she thought she hated — so many things draw me in!
I love all of these things, ESPECIALLY what if's. ESPECIALLY. Sliding Door type stories are my favorite. I also really like books where a girl falls in love with a boy she thought she hated, but I find that it's hard to find a REALLY BELIEVABLE one. >.<
Okay, first off: love your title graphics for this post. Second, YES agree with your choices. I love the intensity of survival stories and being on the run. And those hate-becomes-love romantic relationships are always really fun, too. I need to read more books set in Paris.
Nice pick! On the run is a good choice, those books are packed with action, usually! 😀
Yes to Paris and love/hate! I love it when they think they hate each other too but it's really loove.
Road trip, yes! I really need to find more road trip books, love them1
I agree with pretty much everything, except the "Falling for the guy she thought she hated."I think if it's done well, the book is really entertaining. Otherwise, it's cliche. Really nice list though.
I really like your blog design 🙂
"Survival" and "On the run" definitely will capture my attention, too. I don't think I've read many good books that fall in those words (apart from THG and HP, of course), so I'm always looking to change that. Can't say I'd be excited about "girl falling for a guy she thought she hated," though! I've read too many books like that and they never seem to be that good, so… Either way, this was a great list. 🙂
I also agree with 'survival' and 'road trip.' I'm an addict to road trip literature, especially in YA. it's so fun and there's so many different possibilities. also, my heart belongs to Paris (even though i've never been there) so if it's in paris, chances are i'm going to grab for it!
