As always, TTT is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish: This week we're looking at Top Ten Bookish Bucket List.

So here we go:

1. Get a book published.


I believe in myself!!

2. Have a library.
Like an actual room to house my books. Cause like I physically have enough books for a library but I don't have the space for them :(

3. Read all the books I own!!

Don't I own like 300 books I've never read and don't I work at a bookstore where I buy like a handful of books a week?? YEP. BUT I WILL PREVAIL. (Or I'll get rid of them eventually, but like I hope to read them first.)

4. Read 100 books in a year.
Yes this is a goal for this year. But I'm never sure if I'm actually going to reach it or not, so it's a lifetime goal as well.

5. Visit the Moors in England.
Because Wuthering Heights.

6. Meet JK Rowling??
I'm not actually sure if this is a goal or not because while I would love to meet her and talk to her--I'm actually terrible at talking to people I admire. When I went to Vidcon, I couldn't even ask the youtuber I was most excited about seeing for a picture because I was just too nervous and in awe of her.

7. Go to BEA!
I love Conventions and this sounds amazing. I'm hoping I'll be able to do it next year if I end up in Boston (since it's much closer to BEA than MT).

8. Read Les Miserables.
I want to read a lot of classics, but this seems like the most dense in my head, but I'm sure it's going to be fantastic.

9. Share my love of reading with future generations.
I'm hoping to do this as a children's librarian, but if not that, then at least with my own kids or my friends.

10. Get a collectible book of something. 
Like I want a super neat first edition of something cool. It'd probably be a young adult or kids book. But there are some really cool one's out there and I'll know it when I see it.

So that's what I've got. What about you Lovelies? Do you have any of these on your bucket list?

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. Occasionally they tell the truth, but occasionally they lie. So here we go... 1. Nothing by Janne Teller 2. Liar by Justine Larbalestier 3. Fortunately, the Milk by Neil Gaiman 4. Finnikin of the Rock by Melina Marchetta 5. Don't Look Back by Jennifer L. Armentrout 6. Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein 7. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte 8. The Princess Bride by William Goldman 9. Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas 10. I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson Many of these books feature the unreliable characters as side characters and not main charac

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
