Possible Book Club Picks


Hello lovelies! This week's top ten Tuesday is the Top Ten Books I'd Want My Book Club to Read.

I actually started my own book club a couple years ago, but it sort of dissolved, and then I moved. So now the only book club I'm in is the Forever Young Adult book club which I adore. The nationwide group means that the books for the book club are chosen out of any of our control. However, there are a few books which I think would make good choices (mostly because I want to read them, hahaha).


Station Eleven: I've heard such good things about this book! It's an adult book, so it'd definitely never be picked for the Forever Young Adult book club, but from what I've heard it sounds like an excellent book for a book club.


Let's Get Lost: I've heard mixed reviews of this one, which I think makes it good for a book club discussion. 


A Little Something Different: I've heard mixed reviews about this one, but two of my friends have loved it so far, and I know for a fact that at least one person in my book club would hate it, so it kind of makes me want us to read it.


Anatomy of a Misfit: I mean I've seen it compared to Heathers and Mean Girls, so it seems like a great one for a book club composed entirely of female readers in their mid-20s and up. 


Snow Like Ashes: I think this is going to be one of the next big YA series, so it seems obvious that a YA book club should read it. 


The Distance Between Lost and Found: This doesn't come out until next month, but it sounds like an excellent mystery. And my book club hasn't read many mystery novels yet, so I'd love for it to be on our list!


Playlist for the Dead: I mean, this sounds like a tough read but I think having a space to talk about these kinds of books is really important. So it'd be cool to read it in a book club.


Liar: I just read this one, and I found it so interesting! I think it would make an excellent book club read because there are a variety of ways to interpret it.


The Knife of Never Letting Go: I'm obsessed with this book. I've been trying to push it since I read it a year ago. And frankly, what better way to push a book than having an entire book club read it?


I'll Give You the Sun: This is another obsession of mine which I've been telling everyone to read. And I'm psyched because my book club actually is going to read this book! (In like August or September boooooo.). 

What about you lovelies? What books would you have read?

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, ...
