Hello Lovelies!! So I've literally been pondering this week's top ten for two weeks and I'm still just putting it all together now. So brought to you, as usual, by The Broke and the Bookish, this week's Top Ten is...

Top Ten Characters You'd Want on a Deserted Island

So I've put an absurd amount of thought into this one. So let me do a walk through.

Katniss Everdeen: The girl can shoot a bow and arrow and hunt animals, so if it's a human-deserted island that's still populated by animals, I'd want her there with me. We wouldn't starve. And if it was actually a faux island that was manipulated by a huge government, she'd get us out of there in a split second.

Iorek Byrnison: Why would I pick an armored bear? Because if this was an artic deserted island, he'd be able to protect me and keep me warm. And Iorek is like my favorite character from that whole series, let's be real.

Lihn Cinder: If there was anyone who could make something out of abandoned items on a deserted island, Cinder would be it. Plus she could swoon with me over Kai.

A : Who is the mysterious A (from Pretty Little Liars?) I have no idea. But whoever they are, they're conniving enough to help me get off an island. They've got to be mega resourceful.

Tinkerbell: Peter Pan might be a terrifying creature of the night who still has his baby teeth, but he also has Tinkerbell, and Tinkerbell can fly. Plus she's sassy as all get out.

Daenarys: As long as she brings her dragons. And doesn't let them eat me. And let's them fly us out of there.

Thomas: From the Maze Runner. If said deserted island was in fact a giant maze. (And if he was Dylan O'Brien -- as he is-- because damnnnnnnnnnnn that's my future husband.)

Percy Jackson: Because his dad's the god of the sea, and that's got to count for something, right?

Hermione Granger: Because she is the brightest witch of her age and could get us out of there in a split-second.

And if nothing else, Park Sheridan (from Eleanor & Park) because he could woo me with punk rock music.

So what about you lovelies? What characters would you want with you on an island?

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...

Give Me a Little Love

Hello Lovelies!! Today we're going to talk about love and romance in books This is going to be kind of tricky for me because while I love book romances (see what I did there?), I have a hard time articulating things I like and don't like about them. So I think I'm going to split this into two categories: likes and dislikes.  1. Love: Slow-builds. Give me all the scenes where they gently flirt, and smile at each other, and watch each other out of the corner of their eyes.  2. Hate: Moving too quickly. I understand there are only so many pages, and a lot of other things need to happen, but if they met yesterday and they're getting married or exchanging I love yous, it's moving too fast for me. Build in some time!! 3. Love: Meet-cutes! I know lots of people will be like, but how can you love both slow-builds and meet-cutes, and to them, I say, BECAUSE I CAN. But really, if you bump into each other while holding hot coffee, or hold the subway door o...

Oops I Didn't Catch Them All

Hello Lovelies! Another Top Ten Tuesday? On Tuesday? It's almost like it's Winter Break still or something.  This week's theme is... Top Ten 2014 Debuts I Missed Breakfast Served Anytime by Sarah Combs:  This novel about a young girl attending a gifted and talented camp seemed to drift under the radar, but I still want to read it.  Avalon by Mindee Arnett : A sci-fi novel that got a lot of press pre-release, but didn't make a big splash afterwards. I want to know if it's as Firefly-esque as the comparisons that were made. Even in Paradise by Chelsey Philpot: Jamie  really liked this one, and it sounds like a good read! Falling Into Place by Amy Zhang: Multiple perspectives and a heart-wrenching storyline--seems right up my alley. Let's Get Lost by Adi Alsaid: Most people I know who read this loved it. I just didn't get around to it. Far From You by Tess Sharpe: I saw this on a lot of GLBTQ positive posts, ...
