10 Worlds I'd Never Want to Occupy or Characters I'd Never Want To Be

Hello Lovelies! As always TTT is hosted by The Broke and The Bookish. This week's topic is centered around universes and people we would NEVER want to be a part of.

1. The Maze Runner universe

You all know I thought those books were crap. And the universe would be horrible for me. First of all, I'm a lady so I'd probably die immediately from something stupid. Secondly, the first part of the universe is just a huge maze, and I would not want to run that maze, no thank you! Third, the universe is so badly built I'd probably find a plot hole and fall to my death.

 2. The Book Thief universe

Okay, yeah I get that this is actually our own universe just several decades ago, but I don't want to live then! Nazi Germany and losing like all the people you love to war, no thank you!


3. New World (from Chaos Walking)

Having to hear every dude's thoughts all the time--eck! That sounds terrible. Like I can imagine everything that they would say already (since that's about 90% of the media as it is)


4. Matched universe

To be fair, I only read the first book in this trilogy, but the idea that you have to listen to what a committee tells you on who you're supposed to love? Blech. The fun part about love is that you can love a lot of people in one life and you can meet people and love more than one person. Like ughhh. I'd rather lie down and not move again.


5. Uglies universe

I'm on book three of this quartet, and I find the whole universe pretty awful (haha punny). It's boring to have everyone be "perfect." But I will admit that it would be really fun to be able to change your appearance more or less at will (my preference would be the HP universe version--hell yeah metamorphmaguses, magi?).

6. I would never want to be Clay from Thirteen Reasons Why

It's bad enough when someone close to you kills themselves, but it's even worse when they then explain to you why from beyond the grave.


7. Divergent universe

For spoilerific reasons. But if you really want to know ask me and I'll tell you exactly why, ugh.


8. I would never want to be Lolita 

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW


9. Beautiful Creatures universe

Like I'm cool with lots of magic and stuff, but a birthday countdown ending on having to decide what you want to be for the very rest of your life? WHY CAN'T I BE BOTH??

10. I would never want to be Charlie from Perks of Being a Wallflower

Like he has a pretty shitty life. Poor kid.

What would be on your list??? Honestly, I saw a lot of Hunger Games, and like, maybe I'm crazy, but I would totally be down for that. I'm a big fan of revolutions though.

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...

Give Me a Little Love

Hello Lovelies!! Today we're going to talk about love and romance in books This is going to be kind of tricky for me because while I love book romances (see what I did there?), I have a hard time articulating things I like and don't like about them. So I think I'm going to split this into two categories: likes and dislikes.  1. Love: Slow-builds. Give me all the scenes where they gently flirt, and smile at each other, and watch each other out of the corner of their eyes.  2. Hate: Moving too quickly. I understand there are only so many pages, and a lot of other things need to happen, but if they met yesterday and they're getting married or exchanging I love yous, it's moving too fast for me. Build in some time!! 3. Love: Meet-cutes! I know lots of people will be like, but how can you love both slow-builds and meet-cutes, and to them, I say, BECAUSE I CAN. But really, if you bump into each other while holding hot coffee, or hold the subway door o...

Oops I Didn't Catch Them All

Hello Lovelies! Another Top Ten Tuesday? On Tuesday? It's almost like it's Winter Break still or something.  This week's theme is... Top Ten 2014 Debuts I Missed Breakfast Served Anytime by Sarah Combs:  This novel about a young girl attending a gifted and talented camp seemed to drift under the radar, but I still want to read it.  Avalon by Mindee Arnett : A sci-fi novel that got a lot of press pre-release, but didn't make a big splash afterwards. I want to know if it's as Firefly-esque as the comparisons that were made. Even in Paradise by Chelsey Philpot: Jamie  really liked this one, and it sounds like a good read! Falling Into Place by Amy Zhang: Multiple perspectives and a heart-wrenching storyline--seems right up my alley. Let's Get Lost by Adi Alsaid: Most people I know who read this loved it. I just didn't get around to it. Far From You by Tess Sharpe: I saw this on a lot of GLBTQ positive posts, ...
