Hello Lovelies! As usual TTT is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish . This week's theme is books that'll make me swoon. AKA books that I'll be rereading this Friday when I'm at home alone :D


 My YA Picks:
13 Little Blue Envelopes by Maureen Johnson : A voyage abroad at 17 where she meets a cute guy and has a delightful time? Dream come true for me.
Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins : I've seen lots of Anna and the French Kiss on these lists, but why neglect Stephanie's equally delightful 2nd novel?? I CANNOT WAIT for Isla and the Happily Ever After
Okay, I know my picture is of That Summer, but I'm too lazy to change it to The Truth About Forever which is probably my favorite of Dessen's books, but they're all phenomenal. Just pick one--it'll be swoon-worthy.
My adult picks
The Darkest Pleasure by Gena Showalter : Okay, okay, it's the third book in the series. But this is by far my favorite so far (in terms of swooning, hoooooooo boy).
Daughter of the Blood by Anne Bishop : This was one of my first adult romance novels outside of the contemporary genre, and sweet baby Jesus it's delicious. This series, for real though. It's intense and the love just grips your heart.
Three Fates by Nora Roberts : I was on a super big NR kick for a few years and I've read most of her stuff (although her more recent books have been far less enjoyable and I gave up on her a little bit). This is by far my favorite. And it has one of my favorite couples of contemporary romance.
Naked in Death by J.D. Robb : Okay, technically another Nora Roberts book, but I feel like this series is substantially different than her contemporary romance novels. And the relationship in this series is delightful.
Wizard of the Grove by Tanya Huff : I also adore Tanya Huff's Keeper series, but this one has the most heart-wrenching love that just ughhhhhhhh. I don't want to spoil anything but dear god.
Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte : Like I could ever write a list of books about swooning without including my favorite book of all time. And while the romance in this book might not be great for real life, it's very very swoon-worthy.
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte : Such a great romance. Swooooooooon.

So what about you? What books make you swoon??

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...

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...

Happy New Year's Eve Lovelies!! I hope you are all out having a terrific night and that you won't see this until 2014 has officially rung in.  Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the wonderful people over at The Broke & the Bookish --check out their post or their list of other awesome blogs who have participated! 1. Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell: Once I put up my year in review survey, no one will be surprised by this, but this book is definitely my favorite of the year. It is the most amazing book I've read in a long while.  2. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell: Oh Fangirl, I just barely squeezed you in to 2013, but I managed it. Mostly because once I picked it up I didn't put it back down. I couldn't. It was sort of like reading a pseudo-AU of my life. 3. American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang: This was a wonderful book that showed the commonalities and differences of people of all ages across cultures. I loved it.  4. Hyperbole an...
