Hello lovelies!! Top Ten Tuesday is always hosted by The Broke and the Bookish--and this week they're stumping me with a list of Top Ten Books I'm Not Sure I Want to Read.

So all of these books are from my Goodreads To-Read list, but I'm not actually 100% sure I want to read them. So let me know which are worth it!!


1. Gone by Michael Grant: It seems like it should be an exciting story, but I've heard mixed reviews.
2. The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith: I want to be psyched about this book, but I hated the Casual Vacancy. And I don't want to be disappointed again.
3. The Program by Suzanne Young: This seems like it could be obnoxiously falling into the YA dystopian category, or it could be beautiful and new. I'm nervous about it.
4. Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke: I started this ages ago, and I didn't particularly love it, but I didn't get very far. I'm nervous about it not picking up more though.
5. Beautiful Darkness by Garcia & Stohl: I enjoyed the first in the series, but I wasn't thrilled by it. So I'm nervous that the second one is going to drag.


6. Tiger's Curse by Colleen Houck: I think the summary sounds cool, but I've heard not great things.
7. Out of the Easy by Ruta Sepetys: I haven't heard much about this one which makes me nervous since Between Shades of Gray is so lauded.
8. New York by Edward Rutherford: I wanted this so badly one Christmas, and I've gotten like 50 pages in, but it's pretty slow going.
9. Les Miserables by Victor Hugo: I want to read this, but hooo boy that's a project.
10. The Last Little Blue Envelope by Maureen Johnson: I just loved 13 Little Blue Envelopes so much!! I'm worried the sequel will let me down.

So what do you think lovelies? Any of these I should drop like a hot potato? Let me know in the comments!

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...
