  1. I am captivated by the characters most of the time.

  1. Leannessf said...:

    I usually love strong heroines, bad boys, and a great mystery or life-changing event!

    Thanks,
    Leanne

  1. Naga said...:

    Plot twists and very, VERY good written love triangles.

  1. pippirose said...:

    A good story line and believable characters.

  1. Unknown said...:

    It's got to have a mixture of good plot, decent characters, and also a decent setting. I'm picky. LOL

  1. Unknown said...:

    I love well developed characters, an unpredictable story and great world building if appropriate. Romance helps too!

  1. Mikki D said...:

    The characters are very important but i like to read about all the little details that could make the book that much more interesting.

  1. Rachel V said...:

    The writing is what makes it captivating for me. If the author can suck me in to a book even when it is a cliche plot or the same old vampires then you know its good.

  1. Initially, its a combination of the cover, the blurb and what others are saying about it.

    But then when I'm reading, its how well the author draws me into the world of the book. Characters run it a close second.

    Thanks for this giveaway opportunity.

  1. Unknown said...:

    Good world building always captivates me. Stories don't always have to be intense for me to enjoy them, but when they are, they are often the ones I don't want to put down.

  1. Daniela said...:

    I think the characters are very important to captivate the reader. Doesn't matter if the story line is UH-MAZING, if the characters aren't interesting enough, or strong enough, then I won't be able to stand them and I'll give up before I even start.

  1. Good characters, which feel real... good writing, being a good page-turner xD

  1. What captivates me is when writers capture real emotion and draw you into the characters' conflict.

  1. Denise D. said...:

    World building, something original. That's what captivates me the most, if the plot is cliched, I can't stand it.

  1. Steph said...:

    The writing has to draw me in. I need to be able to lose myself in the world inside the story and with the characters. Also, something that is original and/or unusual helps too. Thanks for the EPIC giveaway!!

  1. Unknown said...:

    Great characters are what pull me in! I love characters that are flawed and go through emotional journeys, which is something that also draws me to continue reading a story.

  1. Rose said...:

    Lovable and believable characters is what captivates me. I love bad boys too.

  1. Got have suspense and definitely a lovable bad boy

  1. Amber said...:

    Descriptions. Like a LOT of descriptions. And an interesting plotline~

  1. kathleen said...:

    No whiny heroines. They have to be strong and capable. Or at least developed.

  1. Randi M said...:

    Amazing worldbuilding that make me feel like I'm there; deep characters that make me feel like I know them. :)

  1. aLilLacey said...:

    The story is believable detailed and draws you in from the first page

  1. First of all, the cover. Then, the blurb. After start reading it, the characters and the situations, even if it's a paranormal, or fantasy book, they have to be "normal". Credible. Real. That's what I like. I want a book to be as original as possible. The plot doesn't have to remind me another book. And that can catch my attention so much, that hurts me to put it down, si I'll never do until I read it all! :)

  1. Unknown said...:

    for me a book is captivating when I can visualize the story as I read. The more descriptive the text and writing style the better visual picture you can get.

    Miranda

  1. erin said...:

    thanks for the awesome giveaway! I'd have to say I look for a story that I can lose myself in :)

  1. Parupoli said...:

    There's a wow factor in some books that make them beautiful and fascinating. Definitely a story that I can relate to. Books with depth. Thanks for the giveaway.

  1. Sam said...:

    When I'm reading a story the characters and the storyline itself are what draws me in and keeps me reading. Without strong characters I tend to drift away from the book and have trouble picking it back up and getting into it. Thanks for this amazing giveaway!

  1. Great characters make a book hands down. I'll read about a strongly written character doing just about anything.

  1. good story, beatiful cover and great characters :)

  1. Unknown said...:

    The characters! Always the characters. A good story helps too....

  1. miki said...:

    The characters, teh setting and a lot i can't guess after a few pages

  1. debbie said...:

    It is a mix of good character development and plot. Without alot of both, the book suffers and I am not drawn into it.

  1. Babel said...:

    I think it's a good combination of good story, gripping prose and a theme that appeals to the reader.
    Thanks for this awesome chance! :-)

  1. LorettaLynn said...:

    If a story is really good, that it makes you lost in another world. Great giveaway :) thank you

  1. I like the characters- if they are written well- I feel like I know them.
    Awesome contest- thank you for being so generous.

  1. Adventure. Fantasy. The first page. I'll often times pick a book to read based on how I feel about the first page. Get the ball rolling, and then fill in the blanks.

  1. Veronika said...:

    The plot, storyline and the characters.

  1. Unknown said...:

    Characters are compelling to me but usually what keeps me captivated is the storyline itself.

  1. The book captivates me through its lovely cover ( I admit, I sometimes judge a book by its cover), the synopsis, hot fictional boys (to-good-to-be-true-and-are-swoon-worthy boys) and heroines that can stand on their own. Thanks for the giveaway! Happy love month!

  1. Anonymous said...:

    In my opinion it's the characters. Some of them I like right away and that makes the reading process much better ^^

    @Tibiux

  1. Judy said...:

    Vivid characters & engaging dialogue. I can forgive a lot of sins if the dialogue is good.

  1. Holly said...:

    It's always the characters that draw me in first. But if a book doesn't draw me in from the very beginning, I won't finish it.

  1. Makaela said...:

    I become captivated most often by the author's writing style. It doesn't matter if I didn't find the story enjoyable, I would still read other books by the same person as long as I enjoyed their effort.

  1. The stories in books are so different from my life. I get to live through them and have thousands of different lives, some good, some bad. It's amazing :)

  1. Sarah.S said...:

    Engaging characters and a strong plot :)

  1. Chelsea B. said...:

    For me, it's characters. Plot, writing, scene setting; none of that matters unless you have well developed, engaging characters.

  1. oriana said...:

    the characters, first I read some reviews, and i like some books for their covers or authors!
    thanks!! great prizes!!

    Thanks for the chance ^^

  1. Unknown said...:

    I like books with small chapters. Makes me always want to read "just one more"...

  1. Unknown said...:

    The plot has to be intriguing and I must be able to get a sense of the storyline within the first few chapters. The book has to be well written and the characters have to be well developed and interesting.
    A completely captivating book would have all those elements.

  1. GW 65 said...:

    I am captivated by the suspense of the book.

  1. Unknown said...:

  1. Stephanie said...:

    Amazing characters, a beautiful story, and just the right amount of detail.

  1. A book captivates me when it has endearing characters, a great storyline, a bad guy you love to hate, a champion you cheer for and that the book itself is written so well that you almost cry when the book ends.

  1. Compelling story, strong characters and a wonderful writing

  1. Kaniesha said...:

    Believable, interesting characters with a solid, intriguing story. Magic is also a huge plus. Books need several things to be truly captivating.

  1. Mabel said...:

    A certain level of predictability. It's got to have a shocking twist to capture my attention. :)

  1. Veronica said...:

    For me it is all about the relationship of the main characters. That is what hooks me into a story every time

  1. İlkim said...:

    Strong heroines and a good thrilling fiction are my favorites.

  1. Anonymous said...:

  1. Ashfa said...:

    Unforgettable characters and an intriguing story.

  1. The characters and the interaction between them are the most important thing for me.

  1. Unknown said...:

    The characters have to be real to me. I want to know them and feel what they feel.

  1. Unknown said...:

    Great & sarcastic characters and well-written. A story that has me escaping from my reality. =)

  1. I am most captivated by books in which authors can make you feel a certain way. If a book can make me laugh out loud or cry, I think thats what grabs me.

  1. Diana said...:

    Thanks for this awesome giveaway! :)

  1. Unknown said...:

  1. Anonymous said...:

    The characters and plot
    marypopmom (at) yahoo (dot) com

  1. Lucinda said...:

    I think the author makes the book captivating because the author creates the story. The world in the book is also the author's world and if she/he is not captivated by it, how could anyone else be? The author is the reason the characters are so engaging and if the author doesn't feel like she is one with her characters, then they are, most likely, going to seem flat. That's my opinion anyway :).

  1. I think the book is the theme, because it clearly I have to draw attention to read it apart if I know the author already are more or less going to be written as

  1. If the book has a compelling storyline and just as compelling main characters! In my books, that's what makes a book so amazing!

    Thanks for the awesomesauce giveaway! :)

  1. Danielle said...:

    The storyline needs to be original and the characters can't be whiny or helpless.

  1. Denise Z said...:

    For me it is a book that has characters that I like and would want to know in the real world regardless of the fictional setting. I want to laugh and cry and feel that rush with the action. Thank you for sharing this awesome giveaway fun.

  1. Dani F. said...:

    I like strong character, with deep and soul. Also a good story, but even if it's a weak one good character make them better (but if the story is bad most of the times the character are too)

  1. Rosa C. said...:

    A good, strong protagonist and an unpredictable plot!

  1. andalene said...:

    the small details...the ones that make you feel like you're right there, like you would feel if you were that character.

    Well developed characters and an interesting plot are what makes a book captivating in my opinion

  1. Unknown said...:

    A good character and a well developed plot. :)

  1. The characters, the plot, and the setting, they all have to pull me into the book. I tend to devour books that captivate in one or two days :)

  1. Unknown said...:

    The character and a good plot is what captivates me.

  1. mk said...:

    What captivates me the most in a book are the characters and their personalities. I could have the plot and I could dislike the genre but if the characters are these snarky, funny people than I fall for them and nothing else matters.. Well, okay.. the plot matters a lot and the genre too but I fall for the characters and the world they live in. That's why I have a favorite age group I like to read in and a favorite type of characters. If that even makes sense..
    Anyway, thanks for the incredible giveaway and for making it international!

  1. Thank you for this amazing amazing giveaway.

    I think that well developed, interesting characters really help a book be captivating. I have found that even when there is a lull in the story line or even if it starts going off in a direction that I'm not liking, I'll still stick with the book if I love the main character. And those books that have a fantastic storylines, but where the characters are lacking, I have a harder time sticking through it.

  1. Kathy F said...:

    Good strong characters with an appealing storyline.
    Kathy Faberge

  1. Usually the plot and the emotional feelings the book contains (or not), how I relate to the book

  1. Plot and characters, with a few poetic little descriptions scattered here and there :)

  1. Nancy said...:

    Thank you tor the awesome giveaway......

  1. melissa said...:

    This giveaway is awesome, thank you!!!

    I love deeply developed characters and a richly detailed setting.

  1. Nicki said...:

    The interaction between the characters. I think that it has to start with a special interaction to captivate me

  1. Amazing characters and their interactions, awesome world-building, thick and juicy plots, mystery and suspense, creepiness, a little bit of romance..... There are so many things that need to be in a book to make it UNPUTDOWNABLE. The recipe for a great book is longer than any recipe for any food or dessert on the planet. A book can be good, but it takes something special to make it great.

  1. a combination of likable characters and an awesome storyline!

  1. The ability to take me to another place and time.

  1. Pamela Hargraves said...:

    Characters for me.

  1. Céline G. said...:

    A book is captivating when the universe is dragging you into the book... Thanks a lot for the giveaway!

  1. Unknown said...:

    I love books that takes me away from reality and let's me focus on something else for a while.

  1. Anonymous said...:

    For me book is captivating when it has at elast 50% of action or mystery inside.. I can't be captivated just by simply romance book >.<

  1. Rima said...:

    Interesting, well developed characters (esp. the narrator/protagonist) and an intriguing premise. :)

  1. I am captivated by the relationships, whether they be romantic or friendship. If they are well written, I will probably love the book. Going further, if the book spends a lot of time with the MC by his or her self, then I will probably not like the book.

  1. Kiery said...:

    Real relationships!!! REAL ways that people connect. No whiny poor me type, girls. No dark and mysterious boys.

  1. celina k said...:

    For me it comes down to how well written it is. How well the writer creates the world they are portraying, often even while asking the reader to suspend belief or reality. It has to draw me in to that world completely.

  1. You can never go wrong with a great plot combined with well written characters.

  1. The characters and the scenery the author paints on the reader's mind :D

  1. Unknown said...:

    What makes a book captivating?

    Well, a great plot, for one. Can't stand awful plots. However, I feel that a great author will sometimes tip the balance in favor of the book.

    Also, the characters. Cardboard characters are the most awfulest things in existence.

    ...Well, it all depends on the book. Every book is different with its appeal, and every book has different things that can hook onto the reader's heart.

  1. Kay said...:

    The adventure you get from a book is what makes it.

  1. catherine said...:

    I think love triangles(when done right) and enoyable loveable characters (:

  1. For me its the characters and plot. Its the story that grabs you and wont let you go :)

  1. Its originality.
    While the story fresher, more interesting is. The characters are the reason why you fall for a book.
    :)

  1. Unknown said...:

    A book that keeps me interested and invested in the character's struggle.

  1. A good plot, interesting character, and intriguing themes make a book captivating.

  1. The characters. If they don't feel alive, it's hard to stay attached.

    misusedinnocence@aol.com

  1. Anonymous said...:

    The characters, for sure.

  1. Unknown said...:

    The plot, the writing, and the characters. If any of these are weak, the whole book suffers.

  1. Unknown said...:

    For me, it's really important to have more than one element. Like, if a book was just pure romance, I wouldn't find it all that interesting. Not only that but the writing has to be well done. Nothing bothers me more than a poorly written story.

  1. THN said...:

    whitout proper characters the plot will never keep my interest, and if i wanted half-assed writing i'd read fanfiction instead.

  1. Unknown said...:

    Everything from the story to the characters to the setting :)

  1. The writing style. I've read a few books with great plots, but the writing and execution was so poor I couldn't enjoy the book.

  1. Unknown said...:

    It's uniqueness and new ideas. :) Thanks for the super awesome giveaway!

  1. A good plot with a unique storyline we have not read before, strong characters, and at least decent writing style, it should flow!

    Thanks!

    I LOVE a good story. Suspense is a plus and character definition is another must :)

  1. Unknown said...:

    A good plot with interesting characters, and for me it always needs to be moving forward. I can't stand to not see any progress, especially in series.

  1. Great story line that isn't predictable with interesting characters and preferably a little romance thrown in.

  1. Amie said...:

    A change to escape the reality/ the busy world

  1. First of all, please let me say THANK YOU for this UNBELIEVABLY AMAZING giveaway!!! I'm just stunned at your generosity, I truly am. As well as the generosity of all the authors participating in the OTHER giveaways... because 100 books just wasn't enough, was it?! :)

    Second, what makes a book captivating for me is world-building and characters with dimension and a true "voice" of their own. I mostly read sci-fi/fantasy and historical fiction, both of which really require excellent world-building and dynamic characters if they are going to work. That's why I never shy away from 400+ page books...often they're the best, because you truly get invested in the characters, the world, and the story!

    Thanks again, ladies!!

  1. Unknown said...:

    What makes a book captivating? Hmmm I'd have to say its the characters...if I don't find a character particularly interesting it's hard to continue reading even if the storyline seems good

  1. Say said...:

    I am captivated by the characters ALL of the time =)

  1. Missie1 said...:

    What makes a book captivating is a wonderful and believable Story line, That is well written with great lead characters.

  1. Jan Lee said...:

    The plot and the characters make a book captivating :)

  1. The characters for sure! If I don't relate to them then even if the book has the most interesting plot in the world I won't care. That isn't to say there doesn't need to be action as well, without action characters can never grow.

  1. Most of the time, the cover will grab me first. Then, of course, the characters! I love a strong female - that doesn't quite know all of her value, but learns along the way.

    Thanks for this fabulous giveaway!

  1. Unknown said...:

    the bad guy ... in some occasion or a good cute boy .... = romance

  1. Unknown said...:

    The cover and the blurb, especially if it has a myserious vibe to it. :)

  1. Thanks so much for this awesome opportunity!

  1. A book is definitely captivating with a good plot and characters that come to life.

  1. Unknown said...:

    The chance to escape into someone else's reality/happy ending always captivates me! :)

  1. Lili said...:

    Amazing world-building and characterization makes a book captivating!

  1. RIN said...:

  1. Good character to believe in, great world building and a twist for supense.

  1. Unknown said...:

    The ability to draw me into the story and keep me reading.

  1. For me, a well-written and believable character is fascinating!

  1. Anonymous said...:

    Hmmmmm...what makes a book captivating? Ithink for me it varies depending on my mood. Sometimes it's the believability of the characters, a good "who done it" plot, the conflict between the characters, or maybe it's a combination of all of those. I do have to say that the story has to open up early, define itself and not bog down or "waffle".

  1. the plot and the characters. :)

    What makes a book captivating to me is usually how the characters interact and develop. Characters are very important.

    I had to think about this for a moment. The most important thing for me is to engage with the characters. If they feel real to me and I feel as if I am in the story, then I usually can't put the book down. Of course, the plot needs to be good and well written also.

    What makes a book captivating is the story's ability to draw us, and put us into its world. It's so easy to get lost in a book, and it's very fun.
