Even though an synopsis is a short over view of the book I expect it to take me into the storyline and make me imagine I'm right there in the book. I want a book that will take me away from my surroundings and make me feel apart of what is going on in the story. The cover is another item I check out. It has to grab me and make me want to check out what the book has in store.

I hate when I read a book and become connected to the characters, only to have a main character die at the end. I've read a few of those, and I felt cheated by the end. I do prefer that the books I read have a hint of fantasy to them as well, but I read a lot of different genres.<br /><br />Thank you so much for the post and giveaway!

I recently read a fantasy that had so many characters--new ones with bizarre names in late chapters, that I was crazy trying to keep everyone straight and in many cases, I wondered why the author even bothered to introduce the character.Scheherazadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08906467791904395295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576538055962817926.post-49436576212509358052013-07-30T15:10:22.531-04:002013-07-30T15:10:22.531-04:00I look for a book that has something unique, or ha...I look for a book that has something unique, or has something that speaks to me. A book that has me asking how did they manage that or how did they get there. I don't like books that have a lot of made up names that are impossible to pronounce. If I have to stumble over something every time it appears, then it interrupts the flow of the story and I get annoyed and put the book down. I like to disappear into the author's world and if the flow is interrupted every five seconds, it kind of hard to enjoy the adventure. Did I help at all? Thanks for sharing and for the giveaway.

Many of you stress the importance of well developed characters and feeling like you are in the story. I think that's essential for readers and writers. The one comment I get from many people who read DREAMING OF LAUGHING HAWK is that they wish it were also a movie because the characters, scenes, and story are easy for them to visualize.

I tend to prefer series just because the author can develop characters over many books and I already know them a bit.

I like to find myself doing the things that I read, as I read it. i.e. licking my lips, widening my eyes etc. When the book is finished, I want to feel a mixture of relief and sadness.

I don't mind a few errors here and there, but a lot of errors just takes away from the enjoyment. <br /><br />Criteria: If it's a series, whether each book is a stand alone or has a cliffhanger. If cliffhangers, then when the other books are coming out (or estimated time of year). If the author does not list this information anywhere and a reviewer says "I can't wait for the next book," I typically won't read the first book. <br /><br />lcminer at windstream dot netLeslie Minerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14427554176138598607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576538055962817926.post-40799535747610262552013-07-29T14:31:01.456-04:002013-07-29T14:31:01.456-04:00I want the story and characters to engage my atten...I want the story and characters to engage my attention, and expect a certain level of writing skill.
