Hello Lovelies!

Another TTT coming at you from the lovely ladies at The Broke and the Bookish. This week's topic is Popular Authors I Haven't (Yet!) Read!! Please try not to shame me too much.

Alyson Noel : She's written several series including The Immortals ( which has Blue Moon in it). I see people grab her books all the time, but I've never even picked one up.

Melissa de la Cruz : She's written the Blue Bloods series and has a new book Frozen which started a new series and came out a few months ago. To my complete shame I've had Blue Bloods since high school and haven't read it yet.

Kristin Cashore: I've heard so much about her, and I recently bought Graceling, but I haven't managed to read it yet.

Marissa Meyer: I've been told repeatedly to read this series, and I've owned Cinder since last summer, but I haven't read it yet.

Ally Carter: I've heard her books are pretty good, fun reads, but I've never managed to pick one up yet.


Deb Caletti: I've heard Honey Baby Sweetheart is the best, but I picked up The Nature of Jade. They all sound really good, I've just never read one before.

Melina Marchetta: I have Jellicoe Road, and my friend raves about all of her books, but I haven't read it yet.

P.C. Cast/Kristin Cast: People tell me how good these are all the time, but I'm not that interested.

Simone Elkeles: I've heard these are really good, but I've never picked one up. I'm pretty intrigued though, so I'll get my hands on one of them sooner or later.

Neal Schusterman: This series looks amazing, and I hear more and more about it constantly.

So which one do I need to get on right away?? What's your biggest shame for author missing??

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...

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, ...

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...
