Well, I've decided to try my hand at starting a meme. It's called Five² Friday & it's all about creating 5 lists of 5. I thought it might be fun to try because I have had such great feedback when I've done my past 5 lists of 5 posts. I'd love for you to participate with me! All you have to do is make a post on your blog (a link to this post isn't required but much appreciated!) where you write 5 lists of 5 items based on the topic set by me or suggested by other bloggers then add your link to the linky below!
This week's topic is: 5 lists of 5 on Book Worlds.
Which ones do you love? Which authors always build the best ones? What makes a good book world for you? Etc. Get creative & have fun!

5 Character Archetypes I Need To See In A Great Book World

- The Seemingly Unlikely But Maturing Leader
- The Devilishly Charming & Secretly Likable Villain
- The Hilarious (Sometimes Pop-Culture-Referencing) Side-Kick

5 Things That Cause Me to Dislike a Book World
- Not enough history as to why or how the world came to be the way it is.
- Unclear explanations for new or strange ideologies, people groups, etc.
- Flat background characters who should be adding local color.
- The existence of vampires (unless you're Rusty Fischer) & ESPECIALLY if they sparkle.
- Lack of enough description to pique my imagination into seeing the world.
Now it's time for you to get listing yourselves!
Oooh, I love "The Devilishly Charming & Secretly Likable Villain"!!! Warren from Shatter Me comes to mind; loooove him!
ReplyDeleteNot a fan of vampires? They're my favorite! My mom gets on my case about my vampire obsession. :P

I love these lists! I'm not sure I could do them as well as you though. I'll keep this meme in mind for next week. Maybe every other week I can make it work. What is the topic for next week?
