Hello Lovelies!! It's a holiday themed Top Ten Tuesday today (brought to you by The Broke and the Bookish as always). 

I've been awfully good, so Santa should consider setting these books under my Christmas tree.


1. Death, Dickinson and the Demented Life of Frenchie Garcia by Jenny Torres Sanchez: This has been on my to-reads for a very long time, and I desperately want a copy!

2. Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz: I've wanted to read this one for so long, and now I know so many people who've read it and say it's amazing. I want a copy!!

3. Avalon by Mindee Arnett: This one got mixed reviews, but it still sounds like a super good read to me!

4. The Impossible Knife of Memory by Laurie Halse Anderson: I could have gotten this book earlier this year, but I was moving and I had literally a ton of books (Which I still don't have at my new place, sigh), so I opted not to get it. But I do really want to read it.

5. Her Dark Curiosity by Megan Shephard: I have a copy of the first one (with all my books at my parent's house), so I'd really like to get the next in the series so when I finally get my books I can devour both of them. 


6. Watchmen by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons: This is a book I borrowed from someone else when I read it, and I've always wanted my own copy. But graphic novels are rather expensive, so I've never bought my own copy. 

7. I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson: I borrowed this book earlier this year from the library and it's my favorite read from this year. I need a copy!!

8. Hi, Koo by Jon J. Muth: I love Muth's works!! I've wanted this darling little picture book since it came out, and I still haven't gotten a copy.

9 . The Port Chicago 50 by Steve Sheinkin: I read this for one of my classes and it was so amazing. I need a copy for my own library.

10. The Winner's Curse by Marie Rutkoski: So good!! And I need a copy of the first one, so I can buy a copy of the second one when it comes out.

What's on your Christmas list, lovelies? Or other winter holidays? If you could be given a book from a mysterious bearded old man what would it be? Let me know in the comments!

    Great list. I love Laurie Halse Anderson as well. I hope you get your hand son all of these. I hope you get a ton of great books for Christmas. Here's my wishlist.

    I still have a $30 giveaway to Amazon going so maybe I can help you get some of these books.

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...
