What Are You Up To?


Hello Lovelies!! Are you enjoying some discounted candy? I am!!

As usual Top Ten Tuesday is brought to you by The Broke and the Bookish, and this week's theme is Top Ten Characters I'd Like To Check In On.

So if I had to pick some book friends to check in on after the story has ended, see how life's going these are who I'd ring...

1. Harry Potter. I know Rowling gave us an epilogue, but it just didn't do it for me. I want more on both ends--how did the weddings? What was life like before they had kids? Did they ever panic that their life wasn't going to be normal? How is it raising kids? Do the kids bring as much trouble as they did?

2. Cathy from Wuthering Heights. Is she happy? Are they married? I want more!!

3. Peeta and Katniss from The Hunger Games: Why did they decide to have kids? Do they still have nightmares? What's the world like now? 

4. Celia and Marco from The Night Circus: How's life? Is everything good? 

5. Eleanor & Park : Are you happy?? Is life amazing?? I hope it is.

6. Todd from the Chaos Walking series: How is everything? What's the world like? Tell me everything!!

7. Hazel from The Fault in Our Stars: Did you make it? 

8. Death from The Book Thief: Has someone else caught your eye? 

9. Ella from Ella Enchanted: How's life? Tell me what other adventures you've found!

10. Karou from The Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy: How's the world? How's life? Tell me the news!!

There's others for sure, but these are the few that I want more of outside the series. I was tempted to put a few others whose series I haven't finished yet, but I figure I'll get more of them when I read the next book.

So there we are, 10 friends I want to check up on. What about you lovelies? Who do you want to check in on? Let me know in the comments!

    Death and Ella are both great choices! Ella has such a happily-ever-after ending, but I agree that she and Char must have gone on many more adventures!

More Diversity in Your Book Diet

Hello Lovelies! As usual Top Ten Tuesday is brought to you by the lovely people over at The Broke and the Bookish . Today's topic is Top Ten Books for People Who Like X, and I'm going to go with... Top Ten Books for People Who Like Diversity Thanks to the efforts of groups like We Need Diverse Books, diversity is having a resurgence in young adult and children's books. For the last couple years, I have been trying to read more books with diverse characters or by diverse authors. (Diverse in this respect includes race, sexuality, gender, and disability). I haven't endeavored to challenge myself to only read a certain type of book i.e. only those by women of color or anything that isn't by a white heterosexual male, but I try to be extra aware of the characters and ask myself if they actually are white (sometimes the text doesn't say it, sometimes people just assume it!) and if being white is necessary for the character or not.  But here are my top t...

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll  is a very entertaining classic. I think everyone knows the story of young Alice who follows a White Rabbit into the world of Wonderland where everything is just slightly (or significantly) strange. For some reason, every time I've picked up Alice's Adventures before, I've put it down without making it more than 10 pages or so. But this time, I managed to finish it. It's a quirky sort of book, but I enjoyed it. It did make me think of The Phantom Tollbooth (here's my review of that classic), but I preferred Carroll's novel to Juster's. There's some great play on words and delightful misunderstandings because of homophones and characters not paying attention to each other. I think this is a worthwhile classic, but I don't actually have that much to say about it. Middle Grade March Count: 5

TBT: The Witch of Blackbird Pond

In middle school, I was a member of this reading club where we had a set of books to read as a team, and then we did like little quizzes on them against other teams. (SUPER NERD!). And now, I'm not entirely certain, but I feel pretty sure that club was where I read this book for the first time. The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare is a Newbery award winning historical fiction novel. Orphan Kit Tyler has been moved from her home in the Caribbean to her puritan relative's home in Connecticut.  She feels like she has nothing in common with these relatives, but she does form an attachment with an old Quaker woman and a young sailor, Nat. Of course breaking out of the mold is not without its price, and Kit learns this for herself when she is accused of witchcraft. This is one of those books that I think about constantly. I haven't reread it in several years, but I always want to. I recommend it frequently to other. This is a book for readers...
