Things I love in books

We all have preferencies when it comes to books. Someone love historical finction, other loves new adult. There are many topics that when I see mentioned in the synopsis, I know I have to read the books. So here are my five most favourite topics I would die for to read. 

1. ROYALS, PRINCESSES, KINGDOMS, KINGS...

This topic is my biggest weakness. I can see a glimpse of princess in synopsys and I know I need the book. Seriously, if you saw my TBR pile, then you would know most of the books there are exactly about kingdoms. I take it as a research for my own story, but also I just really love them. There is something fun about princess and picturing a handsome prince... may I just say that all the Disney movies just made me too demanding as far as men are concerned? I mean how can ordinary people go against princes in movies and books? Anyway, here are my favourite books in this category: 

2. WITCHES, MAGIC, SPELLS... 

Who doesn't like a good dose of magic? Magic is the ultimate power because you can do anything with it. Literally anything. There's nothing magic wouldn't be able to do and that's why it's so much fun! Also, I grew up watching the TV series Charmed and reading Harry Potter, that's why I love witches and magic so much. If I could be anything other than princess, I'd be definitely a witch. And a dark one I guess, because it's way more fun than doing good all the time. People would fear my power... anyway, these are my recommendations: 

3. SPIES, SECRET ORGANIZATIONS, MAFIA...

Do you know the show Totally Spies? No? Then go watch it! Those, who know what it's about, get why I like spies so much. Totally Spies were my childhood. My friends and I were pretending we're spies and were spying on our neighbours in our block of flats. Everytime someone shouted, we came up with a case about a murderer or a drug dealer and then we pretended like we have to save the world. It was a lot of fun! And we definitely had a big imagination. I like the topic of spies because it reminds me of my childhood and once again, I think I'd be amazing badass spy. That just reminds me how ordinary my life is. 

4. MENTAIL ILLNESSES... OR OTHER ILLNESSES

I know this topic can be a tricky one and it doesn't hav to suit everybody but I like reading about illnesses. I think it's important to talk about them, especially about the mental ones, because if we shut our eyes, it doesn't make them any less real. I think we should adress bulimia, anorexia or depression because they are more and more common in our society. I'm not saying that reading these kind of books is easy, but I always get something from them. Or I just cry a lot because I need to release all the emotions. 

5. RETELLINGS

I've heard opinions such as "originality is dead" and that "every story is just copying of what we've already read" and retellings may be considered as not original because we take a story that already exists and just change it a bit. Wrong! Retellings are just as original as any other story. Why should we discriminate them. I think it's really cool if someone can take an old story and give it a new coat and create a completely new one. The author can show you how he/she perceives the fairytale. I don't know, I fell in love with retellings because there are moment when I know what will happen but then again, I don't know what the author added. That's the good stuff. 

So, now it's your turn. What topics do you like in books? Have you watched Charmed or Totally Spies? And what do you think of retellings? Let me know in the comments below.
