But unfortunately there exists people in this community who are in it only for a while, only in this, thinking it's a trend, not feeling what we true Booknerds really go through )":
It isn't Top 5 Wednesday, but these are my top 5 books you can find on a "trend-reader" 's table. (Table because, they won't even have a bookcase or bookshelf.)
(if you are a true Booknerd but have these books anyway: as long as you have a decent bookcase and read a W I D E variety of other books, and not just for trend, then you know you're true)
1. Any book by a Youtuber.
*Omg Zoella's new book is so good, she's so pretty and so talented she can write too*
*I've been a huge fan of Connor Franta I'm so happy to get his book it's such an inspiration*
2. Any movie tie-in or books that have been turned into movies which are currently hot.
Most common is The Fault In Our Stars (very very very common); Paper Towns (very common); If I Stay (very common); City Of Bones; Fifty Shades Of Grey: usually being the movie cover with the movie actors on it. Usually something with cheesy romance or a hot dude.
3. Any book that is currently on 20% discount at Popular bookstores, usually on the front tables.
Sorry to say, I love my job, but most girls who "read" get their books from the most commonly found bookstore, Popular. They don't venture far, they don't pay attention much to Young Adults and only see through Fiction, or the discount books at the front tables.
4. John freaking Green.
*Officially a John Green fan*
*John Green's books always get me and are on point*
*doesn't realise that the personalities of his characters have the same template*
*sometimes* 5. Non-fiction books about the author's traumatic story
*Sub-titles like "The story of a girl who self-harmed"*
*I can relate to this book so much, it's making me cry*
*bonus* 6. These authors:
Jodi Picoult | Mitch Albom | Nicholas Sparks | Sarah Dessen (rarely) | Lang Leav
Not saying their books are bad, just what people who only read once in a blue moon would pick up.
This was part rant, part truth. Thank you for listening.
