Top Ten Tuesday Perks of Being a Reader

This weeks theme is top ten books that I would read with my book club if I had a book club. Now, I've been in book clubs before and when I was younger it was fun and awesome. As a sophomore I tried to get back into it but I didn't a)know anyone b)they weren't too open to new people. So that didn't end well. Technically though, because a lot of my friends are book nerds and love YA fiction we all tend to read the same books and vent to each other so it's kind of like having a book club. So With my non-official book club i'de love to read...


  1. Harry Potter books by J.K Rowling.You can never ever fangirl enough over Harry Potter. These books are amazing and I'm sure anyone one would be down to read them again. 
  2. The Selection. I have a confession. I've never actually read these or pecked them up. I've heard people rave and recommend this book to me like crazy, yet I still haven't picked up the series. I definitely want to and I'm sure it would make me read them faster if I knew I had people I could talk to and vent to. 
  3. The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare. Because this series made me cry. Because these characters are some of my favorite. Because of all the damn feels I get from this book. Ted just about sums it up. I need to share this experience with people. I've done it once on my own, why not have people who understand my fangirl emotions? 
  4. Made You Up by Francesca Zappia. I don't think this has come out yet, but I feel like this book would be great for a book club. It's about schizophrenia and a girl who deals with it and continues to have a normal life. I feel like by sharing this book with other people and talking about it, you are also able to talk about mental health and the stigma around it. (Jacksgap made a video I really liked about this). This is an important issue to discuss and I think that this book will allow for people to gauge a whole new, and hopefully more accepting understanding of mental health. 
  5. The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin. Or more accurately the Trilogy.These books are so creepy, so good, so cute, so amazing that it warrants a lot of hypothesizing and fangirling. 
  6. Court of Thrones and Roses. This is by Sarah J. Mass. I read Throne of Glass with my last book club, it seems fair to read this one with it as well. I love Sarah J. Mass and I feel like this book wouldn't let us down.
  7. Cinder Series by Marissa Meyer. I've only read the first one. (review here) but I already know that i'm going to need people around me who will understand what I am going through and freak out with me. 
  8. Vanishing Girls Lauren Oliver. I think this would just be fun to read and see how other people react to it. 
  9. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowel. Seeing as my main reasoning for joining a book club now is mainly for fangirling and having people to fangirl with it only makes sense that we read Fangirl.
  10. City of Savages by Lee Kelly. Because this looks cool.
Me every time I read. 

Blogtober: TBR Friday

10 October 2014

I usually hate making TBR lists because I like reading what I want when I want to. But for some reason I made myself a list of things to read. I'm actually really excited about my TBR pile. Usually i'm not because it makes reading, something I love, feel more like homework. But I have a lot of awesome books waiting for me and I can't wait to read them!



1. Queen Of Someday by Sherry D Ficklin I'm actually reading this already and I'm so in love with it. I love the characters and the way the stories set up. And the Romance is on point!!

2.  The 100 by Kass Morgan. I have to say, I love the CW show. I didn't even know this book existed so I have the show to thank! I wasn't sure about reading this book because of the show, but I figured that if I love the show, i'd love the book even more!

3. Melt by Selene Castrovilla. I've been loving all the storybook retellings. What caught my eye with this one was the twist and eerie feel. I'm excited to see where this story goes and how it's executed

4. Suspicion by Alexandra Monir. It's described as "A contemporary DOWNTON ABBEY that has a dash of the supernatural, a hot and heavy romance and a deadly family mystery.". How can I not read this?! It's perfect for me! 


Well there's my TBR so far! It's pretty short. Short and sweet. Perfect for me. Enough of a list to give me some sense of organization but short enough that it doesn't feel like homework. So what are you guys planning on reading? What other books do you recommend for me? Have any TBR posts? link them in the comments.




DFTBA,

Top Ten Books I'm Not Sure I'll Read

12 August 2014

     So I have a couple books sitting on my book shelf, sitting on my TBR list yet I never read them. I know i'm not the only one who has this problem. Here I am looking at these poor unread books and books i really want to want to read. 

1. Maze Runner by  James Dashner. The movie is coming out and I know I need to read it but I can't bring myself to do it. 
2. Pretty Bad Things by C.J Skuse. I got this book as an ARC when I went to The Romantic Times Teen Day Book Festival. It's been sitting on my shelf ever since then. It might as well be brand new...
3. Saving The World by Julia Alvarez. My dad baught me this book because I LOVE Julia Alvarez!! Yet after reading In The Time Of Butterflies, which is around the time I got this book, I just didn't read it. And it looks sooo good and I want to read it but I keep getting distracted by other books :(
4. Bloodlines Series by Richelle Mead. A lot of people say this series is amazing but as much as i want to want to read it, I'm pretty positive I won't ever pick it up. 
5. Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt. I saw the movie. I LOVE the movie. I didn't even know there was a book until one fateful day on Goodreads. I added it to my TBR list, but every time I'm at Barnes and Noble or the Library I never look for it or bother asking for it. What do you guys think? Should I look for it next time i'm at the library?
6. The 100 by Kass Morgan. Speaking of books turned into movies, this one was turned into a T.V show. May I just say Bellamy Blake. *swoons* I know the show is different to the book, but I really don't want to end up not liking the show because it's not like the book.
7. Vampire Diaries by L.J Smith. Similarly I watch the show but i have't read the books. I hear they're good but I just don't think i'll ever read them.
8. Night World: Strange Fate by L.J Smith. This is more of a rant than an actual book I think i won't read. So I read all the Night World books when I was a 6th grader I believe.I'm going to be junior in High School. I DEVOURED them. I loved them so much. I liked how each "book" had different characters and different intertwining story lines. So I finish Night World Vol. 3 which contains three books in one. That's kinda how the sereies works. There are three volumes each with three "books". Then I Google when Strange Fate comes out. 2013. I was really sad that i had to wait. Then 2013 rolls around and I look it up again. 2015. Now i'm just angry. I just looked it up. There's no date now. I'm officially P.O'ed. I'm not sure if this will ever come out :( . I get it she was working through stuff and took a break from writing, and when she was waiting to have her books re-published into the versions I've read. But it's gotten way too ridiculous. And the thing is I know people have been waiting longer than I have.
9. Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi. I keep checking this out at the library and I keep starting it, but I've yet to finish it. I honestly have no excuse.
10. Fever by  Lauren DeStefano. I read the first book in this sereis, Wither. I didn't really like it. It felt insta- lovey and just no. I've heard good things about the second book but there's so much banter about whether it's good or not I don't think I'll read it.
