Why couldn't it be you?


Hello Lovelies! Another week, another Top Ten Tuesday, brought to you as always by The Broke and the Bookish

This week's topic is...

Top Ten Characters I Wish Had Their Own Book

  1. Miss Honey from Matilda. : Her story is really flushed out for the movie, but can you imagine a book about her trials growing up and then her becoming a teacher to help kids like her? So good.
  2. Wren from Fangirl : What's it like growing up knowing you're the second half of a name? And what about life made her desert the Simon Snow world? 
  3. Any of the ghosts from Liv, Forever: The snippets we got from them weren't enough. I want to know their whole story!!
  4. Alice from The Magicians.: This might have been much more interesting of a story for me if the protagonist was female. I couldn't stand Quentin. But maybe gender has nothing to do with it since even Martin Chatwin's story would have been a billion times more interesting to me.
  5. Marlee from The Selection : Marlee's story is about love and I love love stories. Show me the bravery of Marlee loving someone else during the competition with no interest in the Prince at all. 
  6. The Marauders from Harry Potter : Like this one seems to be pretty obvious, but I want to know more!! I just want to be able to read all about their adventures and friendship and love and ughhhhhhh. JUST GIVE ME MORE HARRY POTTER UNIVERSE!!!
  7. Stephen from the Shades of London series. : I want to know more about him. I do. I'm really hoping for more in the next book!
  8. Iorek Byrnison from The Golden Compass : Just an entire book about armored bears!!! Plus his back story is sooo interesting!!
  9. Farder Coram from The Golden Compass : This could be so cool!! Tell us his entire life story please.
  10. Prim from The Hunger Games : All of it from her view. ALL OF IT.

What do you think lovelies? Do you want to hear more about these characters too? Who would you choose? 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
