Possible Book Club Picks


Hello lovelies! This week's top ten Tuesday is the Top Ten Books I'd Want My Book Club to Read.

I actually started my own book club a couple years ago, but it sort of dissolved, and then I moved. So now the only book club I'm in is the Forever Young Adult book club which I adore. The nationwide group means that the books for the book club are chosen out of any of our control. However, there are a few books which I think would make good choices (mostly because I want to read them, hahaha).


Station Eleven: I've heard such good things about this book! It's an adult book, so it'd definitely never be picked for the Forever Young Adult book club, but from what I've heard it sounds like an excellent book for a book club.


Let's Get Lost: I've heard mixed reviews of this one, which I think makes it good for a book club discussion. 


A Little Something Different: I've heard mixed reviews about this one, but two of my friends have loved it so far, and I know for a fact that at least one person in my book club would hate it, so it kind of makes me want us to read it.


Anatomy of a Misfit: I mean I've seen it compared to Heathers and Mean Girls, so it seems like a great one for a book club composed entirely of female readers in their mid-20s and up. 


Snow Like Ashes: I think this is going to be one of the next big YA series, so it seems obvious that a YA book club should read it. 


The Distance Between Lost and Found: This doesn't come out until next month, but it sounds like an excellent mystery. And my book club hasn't read many mystery novels yet, so I'd love for it to be on our list!


Playlist for the Dead: I mean, this sounds like a tough read but I think having a space to talk about these kinds of books is really important. So it'd be cool to read it in a book club.


Liar: I just read this one, and I found it so interesting! I think it would make an excellent book club read because there are a variety of ways to interpret it.


The Knife of Never Letting Go: I'm obsessed with this book. I've been trying to push it since I read it a year ago. And frankly, what better way to push a book than having an entire book club read it?


I'll Give You the Sun: This is another obsession of mine which I've been telling everyone to read. And I'm psyched because my book club actually is going to read this book! (In like August or September boooooo.). 

What about you lovelies? What books would you have read?

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
