As usual, TTT is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week's theme is Top 10 Book that Will Make You Cry. Now if a book makes me cry, it's probably going to end up on my favorite's list, so this is what I came up with.

1. Harry Potter : The whole series. All of it. Now it's like tears of reminiscence, but holy god I was just talking about how I pretty much cried my way through the whole last book.

2. The Knife of Never Letting Go: Obviously, I read this fairly recently, but I was sobbing. Like my cat had to come investigate the noise.

3. The Fault in Our Stars: Yepppppppp.

4. The Book Thief : Ahhh my heart.

5. White Oleander : How do people survive this in real life?


6. Wuthering Heights : Oh unrequited romance!

7. Eleanor & Park : Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I love this book so mu-u-uch

8. The Golden Compass : The ending kiiiiiiiiillllllssssss me. It's part of why I despised the movie.

9.Thirteen Reason Why : Ouch. Rough topic.

10. Mockingjay : Ultimate Betrayal

What about you? What books make you cry??

Blarghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Hello lovelies. I'm feeling super overwhelmed by life since I'm doing Camp Nanowrimo and trying to move and find a place to live 2600 miles away. So that's my excuse for missing last week. But now you get two weeks in a row. So this week's theme (hosted as always by The Broke and the Bookish ) is... Top Ten Favorite Movies   (And I picked Scary Movies) I have a secret. Or I guess I had a secret. And that secret is that I love  scary movies. Like anything that plays on gross special effects or melting walls or sudden appearances--I'm totally down for it. (This has only back fired on me once--when I had a panic attack watching Saw 2--I don't wanna talk about it...) So in no particular order, movies that really impressed me with their scare factors: 1. Thir13een Ghosts -- there's this scene with a glass door that is ingrained in my brain.  2. Haunting in Conneticut -- aw man, this movie is sooo good. I actu

Why Should I Trust You?

Hello Lovelies!! It's my finals week, so I'm going to make this one quick.  This week's Top Ten Tuesday (by the Broke and the Bookish ) allows us to fill in the blank! So I will be bringing you... The Top Ten Books with Characters Who are Unreliable Narrators (AKA BIG OL' LIARS). I love unreliable narrators because you never know if they're actually being unreliable or not.

More Diversity in Your Book Diet

Hello Lovelies! As usual Top Ten Tuesday is brought to you by the lovely people over at The Broke and the Bookish . Today's topic is Top Ten Books for People Who Like X, and I'm going to go with... Top Ten Books for People Who Like Diversity Thanks to the efforts of groups like We Need Diverse Books, diversity is having a resurgence in young adult and children's books. For the last couple years, I have been trying to read more books with diverse characters or by diverse authors. (Diverse in this respect includes race, sexuality, gender, and disability). I haven't endeavored to challenge myself to only read a certain type of book i.e. only those by women of color or anything that isn't by a white heterosexual male, but I try to be extra aware of the characters and ask myself if they actually are white (sometimes the text doesn't say it, sometimes people just assume it!) and if being white is necessary for the character or not.  But here are my top t
