I gave you my list 52 things that fascinate me on Sunday a week ago.

I linked to some of other bloggers’ rather fascinating lists just a couple of days ago, but since then more have joined the game. We’re making a list of the things that draw us into a a book or the subjects that make us want to read and study more or just the things that make us happy—in a book or in real life.

Brenda at Coffee, Tea, Books, and Me shares her list of things she loves, a Bliss List. She loves Celtic Women, and John Denver and teacups and reading on rainy days. So do I, although I like Celtic Thunder better.
Some others are calling their similar lists Book Hooks, a list of things, people, places, ideas that catch their interest and make them want to read more.
Word Lily likes books about spies and detectives, other cultures and languages, and convents/cloistered life, among other things.
Kim at Sophisticated Dorkiness likes reimagined fairy tales and multiple narrators.
Ms Bookish has 20 hooks that will make her pick up a book, including bookstores and “a Cinderella angle.”
Stella Matutina loves New Orleans and the French Revolution.
Melissa at Book Nut: A few things that fascinate me.
Carol’s fascination list at Magistramater includes clerical life, conversions, and names. Me, too.
Colleen at Chasing Ray who started this exercise in imagination for me enjoys saints and travelers and scrapbooks.
And author Kelly Link, from whom Colleen got the idea, has a good list, including zombies and the color green. (Zombies make me run away from a book, not toward, but each to his own.)

Do you have a list of fascinations, or book hooks, or a bliss list? Please share.
