Top Ten Things on my Reading WishList
1)
Authors not taking so long to publish their books.
I get
that writing a book takes time but I’ve been waiting for over a year for “City
of Heavenly Fire” and I lost track for how long I’ve waited for a new book by
George R. R. Martin.
2) Alternate History
I love
when someone takes a historical event and changes the outcome of history.
3) Better Second Books
I’m
sick of the second books in series being about the main character going on some
kind of journey; I hate it even more if the journey is used to introduce a love
triangle.
4) Original Authors
Many
times I’ve read a book that reminds me of another book a little too much, it’s
ok to be inspired by someone else’s work but it’s not ok to practically steal
the plot and change the names of the characters and a few plot details.
5) More fairytale retellings
These
are one of my favorite books and the world needs more of these.
6) Better LGBT Characters
I have
no problem with a character not being straight; my problem comes when the
character does nothing for the plot, they are normally there to be the quirky,
funny best friend when they can be so much more.
7) Better Relationship Building
No more
insta love, it’s not necessary to say I love you in the second week of the
relationship. Authors take your time!
8) Less Love Triangles
I think I like it better when there
are just two people in love, they can have ups and downs in their relationship
but it doesn’t always have to involve someone loving two people at the same
time
9) Time Travel
One of
my favorite plots; especially if the main character travels to the past.
10) More geographic diversity
I get
that most YA authors are American so their books are set in the US, but they
can also do some research and write a book taking place in another country

I so agree about the better lgbt characters! I wish they would become real people not just cardboard cut out stereotypes.
And time travel is a great idea! Like Doctor Who!
Our TTT
It would be interesting to read a time travel book where what the characters do in the past actually impacts the future! I feel like this is always hinted at, but it never actually happens. Nice list!
Check out my TTT list and please follow my blog, Book Savvy: http://booksavvyblog.blogspot.com/
Great list! Yes, a million times yes to there being no more instalove in books, I am really sick of that. And I think we would all love if authors could write books a lot quicker! I have no idea what it is with second books and kind of sucking all the time. Great picks!
My TTT :)
This is a great list! Fairytale Retellings and less I love you's in two weeks would be fantastic, I agree! :D
