Top Ten 2014 Releases I Meant to Read But Didn’t Get To

Posted January 12, 2015 in Top Ten Tuesday, Weekly Features/Memes / 32 Comments

As usual, Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the fantastic blog The Broke and The Bookish. This week is all about looking back at the 2014 releases I meant to read, had every intention of reading, and in some cases even purchased, but just never found the time to pick up! 1) Blue Lily, Lily Blue by Maggie Stiefvater– I know, I know. There’s not much else to say aside from the fact that I did a Wolves of Mercy Falls Reread toward the end of the year which distracted me from The Raven Cycle. 2) Lailah by Nikki Kelly– […]

Top Ten Goals/Resolutions for 2015- Bookish, Blogging, and Otherwise!

Posted December 29, 2014 in Top Ten Tuesday, Weekly Features/Memes / 37 Comments

As usual, Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the fantastic blog The Broke and The Bookish. This last week of 2015 is all about reflecting, so below are some goals I’m hoping to implement in my reading and blogging life for 2015! 1) Read 70 books! This will be the highest reading challenge I’ve set for myself yet, but since I finished 67 this year (when my goal was 50) I’m confident I can do it! 2) Establish relationships with publishers. As this was my first year blogging, I was focused more on building my blog, integrating myself into the […]

Top Ten Books I Wouldn’t Mind Santa Bringing This Year

Posted December 22, 2014 in Top Ten Tuesday, Weekly Features/Memes / 32 Comments

Top Ten Tuesday is a fun weekly feature hosted by the fantastic blog The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s topic comes straight from my Christmas/birthday wish list, and for the most part is in no particular order. 1) Wicked– In this instance, Wicked IS the number one book on my wish list! JLA, paranormal happenings, and a New Orleans setting? Yes please! 2) These Broken Stars– Gorgeous cover that I must own for my shelves plus I hear this is a fantastic book that I’m really late to the party for! 3) Winterspell– I’ve heard mixed tings about this […]

Top Ten Books I’m Looking Forward To in 2015

Posted December 1, 2014 in Top Ten Tuesday, Weekly Features/Memes / 19 Comments

Top Ten Tuesday is a fun weekly feature hosted by the fantastic blog The Broke and the Bookish. For this week’s topic I decided to choose the top ten books I want to read in 2015 that will be released in 2015. Funnily enough, they’re all either fantasy, paranormal, or dystopian! Making this week’s post was really fun because the covers are gorgeous on so many of these and I’m looking forward to hopefully purchasing these all for my own bookshelves! (Looks like I’ll be hoping for a lot of giftcards this holiday season…). Titles are linked to their cooresponding […]

Top Ten Books On My Winter TBR

Posted November 25, 2014 in Top Ten Tuesday, Weekly Features/Memes / 25 Comments

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by the fantastic blog The Broke and the Bookish. This week a few of my books are spillover from my fall TBR that I didn’t get to, combined with my holiday-themed reads and some December/January releases. These are mostly books I hope to finish by the end of 2014/early 2015! 1-2) My True Love Gave to Me and Let It Snow Anthologies- I haven’t read any YA short stories so I’m really excited that I own both of these to get me into the holiday season! 3) Wicked by Jennifer L. Armentrout- […]

Top Ten Characters I Wish Had Their OWN Books

Posted November 10, 2014 in Top Ten Tuesday, Weekly Features/Memes / 31 Comments

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by the fantastic blog The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s topic is Top Ten Characters Who You Wish Had Their OWN Books! 1) Zuze from the Daughter of Smoke and Bone Trilogy– Zuze is so sassy and fantastic and is the human best friend who completely and totally embraces the magical world. I’d love to hear about her future with one foot in each world. 2) Teddy Lupin from Harry Potter– (Beware spoilers if you haven’t finished the series!)He’s basically like Harry 2.0, except his parents death aided in stopping Voldemort […]

Top Ten Books I Want to Reread

Posted November 3, 2014 in Top Ten Tuesday, Weekly Features/Memes / 40 Comments

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by the fantastic blog The Broke and the Bookish. I’m really excited about this week’s topic because I am a huge advocate of rereading. I think finding a book with a story that really resonates with you is one of the most rewarding things about reading, and good books are something that I wish to revisit over and over again, especially series that make me feel invested in the characters. Although the amount of rereading I do has lessened since starting my blog (mainly because I’m much better equipped to try out […]

Top Ten Characters I’d Want to Be (or Have Been) For Halloween

Posted October 27, 2014 in Top Ten Tuesday, Weekly Features/Memes / 32 Comments

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by the fantastic blog The Broke and the Bookish. There were a few options for this week’s topic, and I chose “Top Ten Characters I Would Want to Dress Up As for Halloween.” I decided this would be really fun (if not realistic, because my sewing skills are basically non-existent) and perhaps one day I’ll be able to replicate a few of these! Some of these ideas are taken from costumes I’ve created in the past as well. 1) Katniss from The Huger Games Trilogy- This is actually a costume that I’ve […]

Posted October 21, 2014 in Top Ten Tuesday, Weekly Features/Memes / 30 Comments

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by the fantastic blog The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s topic was “Top Ten New Series You Want to Start.” I’ve tried to keep most of the series I chose with publication dates of 2012 or sooner. All the books listed are the first in a series, and the title links go to the corresponding Goodreads pages! 1) Of Poseidon by Anna Banks– I need to see what all the hype is around the mermaid craze! 2) Wicked by Jennifer L Armentrout- I love JLA and can’t wait to read a […]
