My Read-bait Words in the Synopsis or Reviews

Hello readers! I was looking for new discussion post ideas and came across a blog post on discussion Ideas @bookmarklit in which there was topic ‘Your read-bait words/premises’ and I immediately made list of My Read-bait Words in Synopsis or Reviews that makes me add the book to my TBR/wish list and i was surprised to see how big that list grew by the end.

Laren @bookmarklit has written a series of read-bait posts where she discusses the topic and gives book recommendations which is amazing idea that I might use for future posts but as of now I’m only going to list My Read-bait Words without book recommendations.
