Why I Love Wednesdays...Discussion Topics Needed...Help!



Why I Love Wednesdays is a weekly meme where I get to gush about my favorites within a given topic.  I mentioned previously that I was considering discontinuing the feature.  However, after much reflection, I realized that I just can't let it go.  I really love talking about the things that I love and sharing with everyone when I find new loves.

If this sounds like something you are interested in, please feel free to join in every Wednesday.  I usually post very early in the day and it includes a linky so that everyone can hop and see everyone's posts.  Feel free to tak e a look at some of my previous posts.  You can find them here.

But I need your help.  Please share with me some gush-worthy topics so that we can start fresh.  Just think of things you are loving right now and suggest a topic idea.  I would really really really appreciate it.  Hope to hear from you soon :)

Oh and don't forget I'm giving away Mockingjay because someone gave it to me.  You can click here to read about that and enter the giveaway.

Also, don't forget I'm answering questions as part of my Blogoversary reflections.  If you have any for me.  You can fill them out in the form here.

Remember...topic suggestions...much appreciated!

  5. Oooh sounds fun.

    I've submitted a help request from the guys at Disqus. If they can't fix it, I'll be returning to blogger comments. The prospect isn't so bad anymore because it is really easy to comment on blogger blogs on my iPad.

  20. I've been wanting to participate in your meme for the longest time, but my book blogging has been so sporadic lately that I felt I wouldn't give the feature enough attention. Now that my job is changing (I'm not going to have one for the time being...unless you could full-time writing lol) I have more time on my hands! I think Favorite Comfort Read or Guilty Pleasure Read are both good ideas! Fave food and location is interesting, too! Maybe Fave Side Character? Have you done that? Fave genre you've always wanted to read but haven't tried? I have to think of some more.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Oh I meant authors that tweet regularly and interesting. I'm sure there are a few but alas, I don't use twitter much anymore.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Oh and favorite comfort read or guilty pleasure read.

  25. Book jewelry is a fabulous idea! I am so glad for all the help.

  26. Oh love both of these and we haven't written about them. Ooh I can't wait!

  32. How about why I love (loathe) villains? Did you do that yet?

    ReplyDelete
  33. Oh I love Tanya’s ideas about bookish sites!
    Here is my list:
    Meet cute scenes (you know, when in books and movies the hero/heroine meet under crazy and unbelievable circumstances, like when the heroine runs over the hero’s dog).
    First kisses.
    Tearjerkers.
    Love stories.
    You could make one about food, like books with characters that are chefs or take place in restaurants.
    I hate cliffhangers and love triangles but those are good themes as well…

    Happy Blogoversary!!!

  34. *putting on thinking cap*

    Humour in books (well if you do;)
    happy endings
    Crazy worlds
