Today’s Top Ten Tuesday is: Top Ten Unusual Character Names From my Read list. Here they are, in no particular order: Katniss Everdeen – This name will probably be on everyone’s list, but it’s pretty unusual, so I had to use it anyway. Do I even need to say what book this is from? (Okay, it’s The Hunger Games). Cricket Bell – I didn’t love Lola and the Boy Next Door nearly as much as I loved Anna and the […]
Today’s Top Ten Tuesday is: Top Ten Books On My Fall 2013 TBR List I’ve got TONS of books on my TBR list and I’m not always so good at following a “schedule” – there are often books that I’m really looking forward to that I somehow don’t get to for quite a while. But there are some books that I’ve been meaning to read for a while that I NEED to read soon, so I’m putting […]
Today’s Top Ten Tuesday is: Top Ten Books That Should be Movies (or TV Shows) Unwind by Neal Shusterman – This book has an amazing premise and presents so many questions about the importance of life and freedom. It’s also very action-packed, so I think it would play well on the big screen. The Selection by Keira Cass – Considering how much people like shows like The Bachelor, this one should be a natural, right? Anna and the French Kiss by […]
Today’s Top Ten Tuesday is: Top Ten Books That Should be Required Reading I started out taking this list semi-seriously (semi is the key word here) and then moved on to just plain silly: You Are Mine by Janeal Falor – I just read this book (review is coming soon) and I think that students could actually get a lot out of reading it! It would teach about gender discrimination and xenophobia and would spark great discussions about how society’s norms […]
Today’s Top Ten Tuesday is: *Top Ten Tuesday* Top Ten Things That Make Your Life As A Book Blogger Easier Goodreads – Before I started blogging, I was writing reviews on Goodreads and it naturally led to blogging! I LOVE Goodreads and always check out prospective reads there before I go anywhere else. I especially love Goodreads Shelves – they make life so much easier! NetGalley – When I first started blogging, I assumed that I would need a […]
Today’s Top Ten Tuesday is: Top Ten Topics or Words That Make Me Not Want to Pick Up a Book I actually had a hard time coming up with this list because I’ve never really thought about it before. But there are definitely types of books that I lean toward and types of books that I avoid. So, in no particular order, here is a list of topics/words/genres that just don’t do it for me: Non-fiction – The […]
Today’s Top Ten Tuesday is the top ten books on my summer reading TBR list. Here goes! Long Overdue (Meaning, everyone else has already read these!) City of Bones – With the movie coming out soon, I really want to read this one. Cinder – I wasn’t sure if I was interested in this book or not at first. Cyborgs are not always my thing. But, it has gotten such rave reviews from so many people that I’ve […]
This is a freebie week at Top Ten Tuesday. Since I just started participating in Top Ten Tuesday, I thought I’d go back and look at past topics and choose one of those. This is the one that struck me – Top 10 books I read before I was a blogger. Since I haven’t been blogging for all that long, I thought this one would be easy! The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins – I […]
One of the blogs that I follow had a fun meme today that really caught my attention. It’s called Top Ten Tuesday and each week we list a new book-related top ten list. This week’s list is Top Ten Favorite Book Covers (of books that you’ve read). Okay, so we all know we’re not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but I totally do. I mean, I LOVE a gorgeous (or just really striking) book […]
