Hello Lovelies!!

Yes, I recognize that it's no longer Tuesday, but I wanted to participate in this week's TTT because it's a pick your own, and I had already decided on my theme and then didn't get around to posting. So, here we are.

Top Ten Books I HAD to own, but still haven't read

1. The Casual Vacancy. I mean come on, I had to get this asap. But it's been sitting on my shelf for about a year and a half and I haven't read it. EEEEP. 

2.  The Brief Wonderous Life of Oscar Wao. I was so excited to see this at a yard sale that I picked it up immediately. But I haven't read it two years later.

3. A Discovery of Witches. This book sounded so good that I just had to get it! But I've had it for two years and still haven't read it.

4. A Visit from the Goon Squad. Another great find that's been sitting on my shelf for two years.

5. New York by Edward Rutherford was technically a gift, but I really wanted it. And I got it about six years ago and haven't read it yet. To be fair, I've started it I just haven't gotten very far.

6. Thunderstruck. After reading Devil in the White City, I desperately needed all Larson's books but I haven't read this one yet.

7. In the Garden of Beasts. Another Larson one which I got as a present, but haven't read yet, even though I would have bought it for myself if I hadn't been given it.

8. The 5th Wave. I got this as soon as it came into the store cause I really wanted to read it, but I've had it for a couple months now and haven't picked it up.

9.  Ready Player One. Another one I had to get right then, but haven't picked it up in the six months or so I've had it.

10. The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight. This looks sooo cute and I've heard such good things but I've had it for six months and haven't picked it up yet. 

So that's it lovelies! A peek at my book shelf and my procrastination skills. Which of these do you think I should pick up ASAP?? 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...

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, ...
