Great idea for a giveaway! It's so hard to pinpoint what needs to be done to make a book well known ..a famous publisher maybe ..word of mouth (hype) ..which is how Colleen Hoover's books got popular.
Thanks for the giveaway!

I think the first thing a book need to deserve public attention is to be well written. It sounds obvious, but unfortunately it's not the rule.

It should be entertaining because that's what makes me keep reading it ;)

I think that a book deserve public attention when it has a new way to tell a good story to the reader, and it's well written.

The book needs a good plot and characters. a book that is well written and not rushed so it seems like someone threw something together just o get a book on the market and declare themselves an author.

oriana said...

The book needs a good plot, good character and a good cover, i do judge a book by its cover!
thanks!

To be honest, I don't like the word 'deserve', since it sounds like something more important than yourself has the right to say if you're good and useful enough or not. I get your point though, and I would say it's when a book keeps readers from putting it down :)

Any book that hooks you and pulls you in. It's different for many people. Some, it could be a plot that touches on a personal level or others some romantic read or nail biting story line. Books in general need more attention. I love that I got my husband reading again and even my sister and I loved seeing the few book commercials that have been on t.v.

Susan T. said...

Any book that you can't stop thinking about once you've finished!

A compelling character is important. Not a likable one so much, but and engaging one.

Preet said...

Characters you love and a great story, like No Reverse by Marion Croslydon!

I'd like more awareness to my country Indonesia. Despite being the largest archipelago nation and #4 most populated country; we are little known to the world (including our literature) ;p

Lynn K. said...

It's a tricky one, because not all books can appeal to all the readers. Everyone has their own preferences. Above all, the book must be enjoyable!

I think a book that needs more attention needs to have characters that explode off the page, and are so real!

Maria Malaveci said...

I think a book that needs more attention has to have characters with great chemistry, and a great story line.

First of all, I think it needs great cover. And of course, interesting storyline.

There are so many amazing books but they remain unknown because not many people talk about them. They need more reviews or spotlights, they need to be seen.

Steph said...

Originality is definitely needed to make a book stand out. Another thing is when a book can make me have a visceral reaction - like crying. That's when I know it's well written.

Unknown said...

There are so many different things that "decide" if a book deserve the public attention. First of all, it has to be well-written with an exiting plot. But in my opinion, the characters have to be intresting and true to themselves, too. If the readers get touched by the book, I think the book deserves the attention!

Isa said...

I think a book should have characters you can't help but root for and like, well written characters that can draw you into the story and keep you wanting more. Thank you for the giveaway. Enjoy your day. :)
