Things I Like in Books 11

NOTE: I am ridiculous and started a list called “Things I Like in Books.” These are drawings of the things on that list. Truly AWFUL drawings. I am now going to share them with you one at a time. Mostly on Saturdays. Okay, here we go.

I like it when books take place within 24 hours.

Examples: Fave example ever is, of course, Jennifer E. Smith’s The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight

I loved The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight – that book was amazing.

And yes, books with 24 hour timeframes are usually pretty darn awesome

I really enjoyed The Statistical Probability at Love at First sight. I don’t always love books that take place in 24 hours, but this one was so great!

Your drawings are adorable, btw! I love this feature you created.

I like books that take place over 24 hours although even better if it’s a thriller with a countdown to something bad happening at the end of the time. Pretty different from The Statistical Probability which is on my tbr-list.

I need more books that do this. I think I’ve only ever read this one. I love the Jack Bauer feeling of it, except it’s a book instead of a 24 episode series.
