Top Ten Best Bookish Memories

 
Top Ten Tuesdays is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

This week's top ten is...

Top Ten Best Bookish Memories (waiting in line for a new release, meeting an author, or some sort of great experience with a particular book that was unlike others)

1. Breaking Dawn release party at Borders. That was the first time I ever preordered and the only release party that I had been to. It was so fun to be around other fans and playing trivia games.

2. Preordering The Fault in Our Stars. I was so excited to get a signed copy because John Green is my favorite author.

3. I love the release of every new book in the Gone Series by Michael Grant. I feel like the fan base is small enough and excited enough that it's really personal.

4. Reading You Maybe and If We Kiss by Rachel Vail. They are what entered me into the YA world.

5. Reading the Pretty Little Liars Series since 7th grade with my best friend. Oh my goodness, those books were such a fantastic mystery and made great discussions!

Top Ten Settings I'd Like To See More Of

 
Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

This week's top ten is...

Top Ten Settings I'd Like To See More Of (Or At All).

1. In the past, like the 1800s. A guilty pleasure of mine is watching Little House on the Prairie and I love love love how people lived back then.

2. The future. I know this is becoming more and more common but I still can't get enough! It is so fun imagining how things will be.

3. The south. I'm not from the south, but it is really interesting to read about. I'm not a fan of stereotypes, but books like this always make me feel like it's summer and time for sweet tea.

4. The beginning of the school year. I don't see this too much and when I do, I like it. I like it even more if it is college!

5. The city! I'm not sure why, but just about every book that I read takes place in a small town or suburb. The city is fun and interesting and busy!

6. Space. I can count on one hand the books I read who take place in space. There is so much that can be said, so get on this writers!

7. College. As a college student, I'd really appreciate it. Believe me, even younger teenagers will enjoy it because they are thinking about what college will be like. Do it!

8. The Twilight Zone. Ehh? Ehhh?! How freaky would that be?

Top Ten Tuesdays is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

This week's top ten is...

Top Ten Books On My Summer TBR List

1. A Midsummer's Nightmare by Kody Keplinger. I'm already hearing good things about this book and I can't wait until next month when I plan to devour it!

2. Hollowland by Amanda Hocking. This book sounds so interesting and it was free, which is fantastic. I'm afraid that I'll forget about it and it'll fall to the wayside, so I really want to read it this summer before things get too busy.

3. Vertigo by Kristina Dunker. I plan to read this one in a week or so. It sounds so creepy and I love that kind of thing in the summer.

4. Insurgent by Veronica Roth. I want to read this book as soon as possible! But I'm trying to be smarter with my reading so I don't get behind on review books, so it'll have to wait until the end of summer.

5. The Calling by Kelley Armstrong. I love these books soooo much! As soon as I can I'm going to get right into this.

6. Misguided Angel by Melissa de la Cruz. I'm doing a good job getting caught up with this series and I hope to get a couple steps closer to the last book this summer.

7. Gone by Lisa McMann. It has taken me soooo long to finally finish this trilogy and I'm ready to do it!

8. Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead. I'm working hard to finish series that I've started, but I can't help but want to start this very much loved one as well.

9. Revived by Cat Patrick. I read Forgotten last summer, and I am excited to read this newest book buy Patrick this summer!

10. Fourth Comings by Megan McCafferty. I know I'm getting through these books slowly, but I like feeling as if I've grown up a little between each book.

4. The Book Muncher. This is another blog that I have been following for years. I love the reviews because they are so thorough!

Top Ten Tuesdays is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

This week's top ten is...

Top Ten Books Written In The Past 10 Years That I Hope People Are Still Reading In 30 Years. Once again I'm stopping at 5 because I'm horrible..

1.Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher. I think this book really teaches its readers a lesson about how all actions and words affect people.

2. Any Ellen Hopkins books. There are some tough issues being dealt with around the world, and her books give us a peak on how bad it is.

3. The Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling. These books are a journey and I really want my grandkids to go on that journey someday.

4. Any Sarah Dessen book. Girls all over the country can relate and find comfort in her characters. I hope the girls in the future can too.

5. Any book set in the future just so they can laugh at how wrong we got it.

Top Ten Tuesday: Sites I Read That Aren't About Books

 
Top Ten Tuesdays is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

This week's top ten is...

Top Ten Blogs/Sites You Read That AREN'T about Books. I could only think of 5 that I use frequently..

1. Tumbr. This site is a goldmine for procrastination. It's great, you can find a blog about one of your interests easily!.

2. Youtube. I know, I know. We all use youtube. But I advise you not to just look at movie trailers or cat videos. Subscribe to some funny people and it can really brighten up your day.

3. Unfriendable. This site is hilarious and it is great to just scroll though when you're having a dull time.

4. GetGlue. You can "check in" to shows and movies that you are watching and you earn stickers for being a fan. Once you earn so many they really send you them!

5. Imdb. I love to look ahead months at a time and see what movies are coming. It gets me pretty excited to see the trailers or read the interesting descriptions.
