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

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
