Why couldn't it be you?


Hello Lovelies! Another week, another Top Ten Tuesday, brought to you as always by The Broke and the Bookish. 

This week's topic is...

Top Ten Characters I Wish Had Their Own Book

  1. Miss Honey from Matilda. : Her story is really flushed out for the movie, but can you imagine a book about her trials growing up and then her becoming a teacher to help kids like her? So good.
  2. Wren from Fangirl : What's it like growing up knowing you're the second half of a name? And what about life made her desert the Simon Snow world? 
  3. Any of the ghosts from Liv, Forever: The snippets we got from them weren't enough. I want to know their whole story!!
  4. Alice from The Magicians.: This might have been much more interesting of a story for me if the protagonist was female. I couldn't stand Quentin. But maybe gender has nothing to do with it since even Martin Chatwin's story would have been a billion times more interesting to me.
  5. Marlee from The Selection : Marlee's story is about love and I love love stories. Show me the bravery of Marlee loving someone else during the competition with no interest in the Prince at all. 
  6. The Marauders from Harry Potter : Like this one seems to be pretty obvious, but I want to know more!! I just want to be able to read all about their adventures and friendship and love and ughhhhhhh. JUST GIVE ME MORE HARRY POTTER UNIVERSE!!!
  7. Stephen from the Shades of London series. : I want to know more about him. I do. I'm really hoping for more in the next book!
  8. Iorek Byrnison from The Golden Compass : Just an entire book about armored bears!!! Plus his back story is sooo interesting!!
  9. Farder Coram from The Golden Compass : This could be so cool!! Tell us his entire life story please.
  10. Prim from The Hunger Games : All of it from her view. ALL OF IT.

What do you think lovelies? Do you want to hear more about these characters too? Who would you choose? 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, ...
