Hello Lovelies!! 

So this week is a fill-in-the-blank week and the topic is Top Ten Books if you liked X. 

I'm going to use a few of my favorite shows so this is a bit of a getting to know me week as well.

If you like...

Gossip Girl (as a TV show or a book) then try ... Pretty Little Liars! (Mystery and Girl World!)
Community then try... Hyperbole and a Half. (LAUGHS. Oh god, I got a side ache from laughing.)
Breaking Bad then try...The Knife of Never Letting Go (Now trust me on this. Who's a good guy? Who's a bad guy? Why are the good guys acting like bad guys?? It's all about the character development on this one.)
Buffy the Vampire Slayer then try... Vampire Academy. (Sassy girls and vampires. Sure in one the sassy girls are killing vampires and in the other they're protecting them, but over all it's quite similar.)
Warm Bodies (the movie) then try...Reboot (zombies maybe plus feelings!)
Pride & Prejudice (the movie or the book) then try...Wuthering Heights (just don't expect a happy ending on this one!)
Toy Story then try...The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane (toys with thoughts and feelings!)
Fanboys then try...Fangirl! (especially if you enjoy both Star Wars and Harry Potter).
Charlie Bartlett then try...Jellicoe Road (teens getting into trouble)
The Great Gatsby (the movie or the book) then try..Vixen (Roaring '20s!)

So this isn't the most visually appealing post, but what do you think of the content? Did I make you want to try a new book? Or maybe a new movie? Let me know in the comments!

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
