Hello lovelies!! Top Ten Tuesday is always hosted by The Broke and the Bookish--and this week they're stumping me with a list of Top Ten Books I'm Not Sure I Want to Read.

So all of these books are from my Goodreads To-Read list, but I'm not actually 100% sure I want to read them. So let me know which are worth it!!


1. Gone by Michael Grant: It seems like it should be an exciting story, but I've heard mixed reviews.
2. The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith: I want to be psyched about this book, but I hated the Casual Vacancy. And I don't want to be disappointed again.
3. The Program by Suzanne Young: This seems like it could be obnoxiously falling into the YA dystopian category, or it could be beautiful and new. I'm nervous about it.
4. Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke: I started this ages ago, and I didn't particularly love it, but I didn't get very far. I'm nervous about it not picking up more though.
5. Beautiful Darkness by Garcia & Stohl: I enjoyed the first in the series, but I wasn't thrilled by it. So I'm nervous that the second one is going to drag.


6. Tiger's Curse by Colleen Houck: I think the summary sounds cool, but I've heard not great things.
7. Out of the Easy by Ruta Sepetys: I haven't heard much about this one which makes me nervous since Between Shades of Gray is so lauded.
8. New York by Edward Rutherford: I wanted this so badly one Christmas, and I've gotten like 50 pages in, but it's pretty slow going.
9. Les Miserables by Victor Hugo: I want to read this, but hooo boy that's a project.
10. The Last Little Blue Envelope by Maureen Johnson: I just loved 13 Little Blue Envelopes so much!! I'm worried the sequel will let me down.

So what do you think lovelies? Any of these I should drop like a hot potato? 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, ...
