Suggested by Jennysbooks:
Something I’ve been thinking about lately: “What words/phrases in a blurb make a book irresistible? What words/phrases will make you put the book back down immediately?”
Don’t forget to leave a link to your actual response (so people don’t have to go searching for it) in the comments—or if you prefer, leave your answers in the comments themselves!
Here is my link.
Happy Thursday everyone!!!

[…] so back to Booking Through Thursday I come. That’s because I have to weigh in on today’s question. […]
I haven’t been here in awhile. It’s almost a shame to return with a cranky post.

I came up with five books where the blurbs persuaded me. My answer is here.

Here’s mine. Short but sweet.

Short (and a little off-topic) answer because I don’t really read blurbs.
Here’s my first BTT response. Great question!

Nearly Friday, but I made it! 😉
It’s technically Friday in MY timezone, but the sun hasn’t come up yet, so fiscally, it’s still Thursday night.
My link? It’s here.
Hey this is my first BTT! Great question and MissMeliss – it’s Friday here as well! Huzzah for international time zones 😛

I just found your meme and I’m impressed so will be joining in Thursdays (or as soon as I can).
I’m getting bored by secret babies and the cowboy’s secret baby or the CEO’s secret baby or the :Prince’s Mistress + their secret baby. This leads me to believe I don’t want to see only captains of industry mentioned – CEO’s, Princes, Kings, Shieks – up against a woman with much less clout.
I do however take positive interest in “desperate” situations and people. (Think “Desperate Housewives”). I like things that depict action and adventure mixed with humor. A title I loved was “Phi Beta Bimbo” and I was intrigued and more than half sold before reading the blurb as it made me laugh. I also like smart sounding titles that have double innuendos or a play on words.
Next week I’ll post my answer actually on my blog. 🙂 I have this week’s posts already up and scheduled.
