This weeks Top Ten is:

BOOKS I THOUGHT I'D LIKE MORE/LESS THAN I DID
I decided to go with books that I thought I like less than I did!

 

1. Starcrossed - Josephine Angelini

I enjoyed this book way more than I thought I would! I don't really like all that Greek mythology, but I do know a lot of people who love it, so I decided to give another try at it in this book. I heard good reviews and it seemed like a book that I would enjoy so I picked it up anyways. I honestly couldn't stop reading it. I remember being up till 3 in the morning reading about Helen. Josephine Angelini has this unique way of writing that is very captivating. Such a great book and the sequel is great also but not as good as Starcrossed was!

 

2. Anna Dressed in Blood - Kendare Blake

Another books I liked way more than I expected too. For some reason, I just didn't pick this book or have any desire to read it. I don't know why, but one day I decided to read it anyways cause I found it on sale at a bookstore. I was so surprised by how much I enjoyed it! I tried reading it once before and couldn't get into it, but when I started it again for the second time I couldn't put it down. I must have been in some weird book funk the first time! Loved it!

 

3. If I Stay - Gayle Forman

This book just seemed so depressing and I didn't really want to read something like that cause at the time I read my share of Sarah Dessen books at that moment, but my friend wouldn't stop pestering me about so I picked it up. It was literally wonderful. Made me cry so much and I loved it. Also the sequel Where She Went is even better if you can believe it! I totally recommend them!

 

4. The Iron King - Julie Kagawa

When I first saw this on goodreads I avoided it. I read that it was about faeries and I wasn't interested. At that time, I had only read one other book about faeries and I didn't enjoy it so I had some weird prejudice thing against faerie books after that. Funny, right? :) Well anyways, I was bored one day and I found the first chapter available so I went ahead and read it. I loved it! So I picked up the book and devoured in one setting almost. I'm so glad I got my prejudice! :)

 

5. Lola and the Boy Next Door - Stephanie Perkins

After reading Anna and the French Kiss and being slightly disappointed cause my expectations where so high, I thought I wouldn't like this one much either. WRONG. I couldn't have been more wrong. This book was brilliant! SO GOOD. I loved it so much. I think it helped with having no expectations going into this. It was great. Yeah, I can't think of any words to describe how much I loved it.

 

6. Incarnate - Jodi Meadows

I knew that I probably would like this book, but I didn't think I would like it as much as I did. I never read a book quite like this one before. It has such an interesting concept and the main character is very wonderful to read from. I also just love Sam so much! I can't believe I haven't read the next book yet. I need to get on that.

 

7. Audrey, Wait! - Robin Benway

I was honestly surprised by how much I liked this. I heard really good reviews over it and thought that I would probably enjoy it, but I loved it! It was so funny and it one of my favorite contemporaries for sure. If you haven't read this yet, I highly recommend it. Audrey was so fun to read from and the story is just hilarious. If you are fans of Meg Cabot, then I recommend this for you!

 

8. Sweet Evil - Wendy Higgins

Oh my gosh, this book! One of those fangirling moments here! Sweet Peril is so close to coming out! I can't wait to read it! Anyways, Sweet Evil was just amazing. I liked it way more than I thought I would. I remember reading the first couple of chapters and thinking, "Wow. This is really good." I also stayed up all night reading. Let's not forget about Kaidan either ;)

 

9. I Know It's Over - C.K. Kelly Martin

I can understand if someone didn't like this novel, since it does have a touchy subject matter but I didn't think to like it as much as I did. The writing was done so well and the main character, Nick, was refreshing to read from. I like to read from a guys pov now and again and he was great to read from. C.K. Kelly Martin has a very interesting way of writing, it all flowly and smooth. I need to read another book by her.

 

10. Dairy Queen - Catherine Gilbert Murdock

This was such a fun read! I thought that I would probably just like, but I loved it! The writing was so real with the family dynamics and the relationship that D.J. had with Brian. This was also one of the very first contemporaries that I read and I'm so glad that it was this one. I need to read the rest of this series!

Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Wish I Could Read Again for the First Time

This weekly meme is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

 

This weeks Top Ten is:

This week is a freebie! So I decided to pick

BOOKS I WISH I COULD READ AGAIN FOR THE FIRST TIME

 

1. Divergent - Veronica Roth

I'm sure you all of heard of my love for Divergent over and over again but it's true. This book is just so good. I remember reading it for the first time and just wanting to go right back from the beginning and experience it all over again. I know a lot of people have problems that it doesn't have enough world building like we don't know why there are different factions and I think that is this point. We don't know because the characters don't know themselves. It is all suppose to be revealed in the third and final book and I can't wait!

 

2. Cracked Up to Be - Courtney Summers

It was a boring July night in 2009 when I picked up Cracked Up to Be and that's when I knew that this book had become one of my all-time favorites. That is when I first was getting into reading and I remember this book made me have all these different crazy emotions. I just want to go back and reread this book over and over again. I will read anything by Courtney Summers. She is a true genius. I still need to read her latest book, "This Is Not a Test." I also highly recommend her other book "Some Girls Are". You haven't read about mean girls until you have read that book.

 

3. The Scorpio Races - Maggie Stiefvater

I have always been obsessed with horses and then Maggie Steifvater, one of my favorite authors ever, writes a book about horses! I haven't read anything quite like this before. The relationship between Sean and Puck is just so good for eachother. Such good characters and development. That is the major part for me in a story, the plot could be great, but if the characters aren't any good then I'm not going to like the book. And Maggie Stiefvater sure knows how to write good characters.

 

4. Lola and the Boy Next Door - Stephanie Perkins

Don't hate me for saying this but I wasn't that big of a fan of Anna. I just had such high expectations for it to be the best book I ever read and it fell flat. So when I picked up Lola, I didn't have high expectations and it took me completely by surprise by how much I loved it! The love interest name is Cricket! That alone is not reason to love the book.

 

5. Before I Fall - Lauren Oliver

I have never had a book that made me think so much about stuff. I can't stress how amazing this book is. It's about this girl named Sam who is a mean girl and ends up living the last day of her life seven times. Each time she does stuff different and tries to figure out what is happening, but in the end she does get it right. It is such a meaningful story.

 

6. The Host - Stephenie Meyer

I am so excited for the movie that is coming out in March. The Host is such a good book and in my opinion better than Twilight (and I am big Twilight fan!). The first couple of chapters is really confusing and hard to understand. That's why a lot of people give up on it. If you could get to around page 75 then you should be able to get into it but a lot of people give up before then. I love this book! I just wish she write another book to this! There could be so many possibilities to were it could go!

 

7. The Fault in Our Stars - John Green

Everyone probably agrees with me on this. I didn't know this book would be this good. I am a fan of John Green but I read a few of his previous books and thought they were good but not what everyone cracked them up to be and then I finally jumped on the bandwagon when I read this book. This story is like pure poetry. How can someone not love Augustus Waters?! I just want to reread it again from the beginning and not know what is going to happen!

 

8. Bittersweet - Sarah Ockler

I fell in love with Twenty Boy Summer but Bittersweet blew me away! By far the best work done by Sarah Ockler! It is about ice skating, cupcakes, and boys on a hockey team! I don't usually love contemporary a lot but this book is just wonderful. Please go read this! I just wish I could read it again for the first time.

 

9. The Hunger Games Series - Suzanne Collins

This series is just crazy! I want to reread this series but it wouldn't be as good as the first time you read it. I remember reading the ending of Mockingjay and just crying my eyes out. I feel like that girl off of Mean Girls, "I just have a lot of feelings!"

 

10. Shiver Series - Maggie Stiefvater

A lot people hate on this series, but I love it so much. Linger would have to be my favorite in the series. I love Sam and Grace, but I truly think that it is Isabel and Cole that steal the show. I just ship them so hard in my little shipper heart. Lol.

Top Ten Tuesday: Favorite Kick-Ass Heroines (9)

This weekly meme is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

This weeks Top Ten is:

FAVORITE KICK-ASS HEROINES

 

1. Katniss Everdeen (The Hunger Games)

Yes, I am being totally cliche` with this and having Katniss as my first pick but I can't help it. I just love Katniss so much. She is so kick-ass and just awesome. If you haven't read the Hunger Games, you need to stop whatever you are doing and go read it right now. However, I am pretty sure that everyone has already read them by now. My favorite moment of her kick ass skills is in the last book towards the end with President Snow & Coin. That is probably my most favorite scene in the whole book series if I'm being honest.

 

2. Clary Fray (The Mortal Instruments)

I picked Clary for this because I just love the whole shadowhunter world and fits into it perfectly. If you haven't read the latest book in the series, City of Lost Souls, you really need to know. We finally get to see Clary stick up for herself and she fights and it is just awesome. I love the scenes when Jace and her would fight against the demons side by side. I can't help it, I get so fangirly over this series :)

 

3. Tris Prior (Divergent)

I just love these books so much. I cannot even explain how much I love these books. Divergent is around 500 pages or so and I read it all in one day. I just couldn't put it down. Tris is so much fun to read from. She is smart, tough, and awesome. She fights against the government and goes into battles. It is just so good!

 

4. Rose Hathaway (Vampire Academy)

Of course I was going to put Rose on here. She is a dhampir, which means that she is part vampire and part human. She is a body guard for her best friend Lissa who is a full vampire. Rose battles the strigoi in the whole series and even Dimitri! There is so much action in these books! I also got to give a shout out to Sydney in the Bloodlines series. I love how she is completely opposite of Rose but still manages to hold her own and be kick-ass at the same time.

 

5. Helen Hamilton (Starcrossed)

If anyone has read the latest book in the series, Dreamless, then you know exactly why I put Helen on this list. She had it so bad in the last book. She is one tough girl to be able to deal with what all she had to do. She descends to the underworld every night just to die down there and come back all exhausted, bloody, and dirty. She was also doing this all alone through the first half of the book. Not to mention she had some pretty mean stuff done to her in this book.

 

6. Meghan Chase (The Iron King)

I still have yet to read the last book in the series, so I am not completely sure how it ends yet. However, from the first three books that I have read Meghan has to be one of my favorite characters of all time. She is just so likable to read from plus she takes on the Iron King to find her brother. She sticks up for her family and won't let anything happen to them. I really like that about her.

 

7. June Iparis (Legend)

This is a futuristic world where June is in the military of a very controlling government. She can pretty much beat anyone or kill them if she wants too. There is another main character in the story Day and I loved him as well. My favorite line from the book is towards the end when June says that her and Day is the same person but just grew up in two different places.

 

8. Juliette Ferrars (Shatter Me)

I really need to read Destroy Me. I asked my parents for a Kindle Fire for Christmas, so I should be able to read it soon. I usually like to be the person who likes opposite of what everyone else does, so I really like Warner and Juliette a lot. I don't hate Adam or anything but I just like Warner so I can't wait to read Destroy Me. Juliette can kill people with her touch. I think that pretty much qualifies as being bad ass!

 

9. Echo Emerson (Pushing the Limits)

Since it seemed like all my picks have either been from a Dystopian or Fantasy world I decided to change it up and pick one from a contemporary novel. I recently read Pushing the Limits and I cannot say enough good things about it. It is definitely one of my favorite debuts of the year. Echo is so strong for everything she had to go through. She goes through times wonder if her brain is going to crack and she is going to go insane but she doesn't. I also loved reading about her and Noah's relationship.

 

10. Annah (The Dark and Hollow Places)

The Forest of Hands and Teeth have to be one of my all time favorite book series and Annah is my favorite character out of all three books. I feel like Annah had to go through so much. She has scars on the side of her face and she feels ugly because of it and the one boy she loves is in love with her sister. She struggles to stay strong but has the help of Catcher and they fight against the zombies to find a better place. It is such a good book series, please read it if you haven't yet.

Top Ten Tuesday: Series I Haven't Finished (8)

This weekly meme is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

This weeks Top Ten is:

SERIES I HAVEN'T FINISHED

1. The House of Night Series - P.C. & Kristin Cast
I use to love the House of Night series. I remember my friends and I reading these my sophomore year of high school. We hadn't just finished Breaking Dawn, you know from the Twilight Saga, and we found these at the bookstore and just loved them. I remember when I thought they started to go down hill. It was the third book Chosen. I still read them though. The last one I read the the seventh, Burned. I just haven't had time to read the other two that are out because there are books that I want to read more than those. Hopefully someday I will feel in the mood to read them.

 

2. The Iron Fey Series - Julie Kagawa

This has to be one of my all time favorite series. I loved all the books but still have yet to read the last one. I just don't want it too end! I keep putting it off. I do plan on reading it soon though so I can read the spin-off series about Ethan.

 

3. Morganville Vampire Series - Rachel Caine

There is just so many books in this series! I have only read the first four but feel like I will never finish this series. Do anyone know how many books that Rachel Caine plans to put out in this series. Don't get me wrong, I do like this series and think that they are good but I feel like there is too many. Especailly for them to start coming out in hardcover. I guess I will work slowly on this series for now.

 

4. Blue Bloods Series - Melissa De La Cruz

I started reading the Blue Bloods series about three years ago. I honestly don't remember the books that much. It seemed like there was a long release date from the fourth and the fifth book and I just never got around to picking it up. I did like the first four books in the series though I remember.  

 

5. Fallen Series - Kate Brian

I didn't like Fallen that much at all and people seem to write a lot of negative reviews about the upcoming books. I just feel like I wouldn't like them. I also don't remember what happened in Fallen that much regardless. Maybe when my TBR pile isn't so big I will try to work on this series again.

 

6. The Immortals Series - Alyson Noel

The last book that I read was Shadowland. I really wish that I could like this series. I do like it somewhat, but I don't know if I like it enough to continue. I just get so frustrated with ever event that happens to prevent them from being together. I probably will read the next book sometime though. I hate having a series left unfinished.

 

7. Percy Jackson - Rick Riordan

I hope that nobody hates me when I say this but I thought that the first Percy Jackson book was a little disappointing. I just had such high expectations and the book just fell short. I did like it, but just wasn't so great as I thought it was going to be. I will read the next books, just don't plan too anytime soon.

 

8. The Dark Divine - Bree Despain

I read the Dark Divine so long ago and loved and never got around to picking up the second. This has become a trend with me hasn't it? Lol. It has been so long that I would need to reread The Dark Divine before starting the next book and I just don't have time to do it. The guy who said the quote so many books, so little time really wasn't joking.

 

9. The Body Finder - Kimberley Derting

I really liked the Body Finder but I read Kimberley Derting's other book The Pledge and didn't like it at all. So now I am hesitant to pick up the next book. I hope that when I do pick it up that I will like it. I think that concept is really interesting and I do like mysteries. Have you guys read the second book? Did you like it?

 

10. Nightshade - Andrea Cremer
I am just so nervous to read Bloodrose! A lot of people loved it and a lot of people hated it. I don't want to hate it. I want to love it so much. I also don't want this fabulous series to end either. I do plan on reading it so I can read the prequel series Rift. Have you guys read Bloodrose? Do you think I should stop being a chicken and just read it? I think so too. Lol.

Top Ten Tuesday: Books On My Fall TBR List (7)

This weekly meme is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

This weeks Top Ten is:

BOOKS ON MY FALL TBR LIST

 

1. Reached (Matched, #3) - Ally Condie

I just cannot wait to read this! I love the Matched series so much. The way that Ally Condie writes is very beautiful and sort of like poetry. The characters are also great as well. I love Cassia and Ky and all the rest. I know that this series gets a lot of hate, but I really enjoy it. I think that if you hadn't read it yet, you should give it try. It is dystopian, but one of the best that I have read. The world building is very good.

 

2. Finale (Hush, Hush #4) - Becca Fitzpatrick

I am very excited for this! I love the Hush, Hush series so much. I just finished Silence back last spring and loved it way more than Crescendo. I can't believe this series is finally coming to an end. It seems it was forever ago when I read the first book Hush, Hush. Again,  this series does have some faults but I love it all the same. Beside the covers that this series has is just right down awesome.

 

3. Whispers at Moonrise (Born at Midnight, #4) - C.C. Hunter

This is such a light fun series. Each book is fast paced and full of crazy adventures. I am so happy that C.C. Hunter decided to add onto the series. I can't wait to find out what will happen to Kylie and her gang next. Taken By Dusk had so much action and questions answered that I can't wait too see what direction the series plans to take next. I also love her two best friends, who is a vampire and a witch. They funny bickering makes me laugh out loud everytime. Again, this series has awesome covers as well! Love them!

 

4. Cinder - Marissa Meyer

I have been procrastinating reading this and I don't really know why. I'm scared that I won't like it, because I really want to like it a lot. I also have to read this for sure because I have it down that I would for my debut author challenge. I really just need to sit down and read it. I know that I will love it. This was the same way with Divergent, and that has become one of my all time favorite books ever. I can be really weird sometimes when it comes to books I guess. Lol.

 

5. Born Wicked - Jessica Spotswood

This book is also on my debut author challenge list. I have been looking forward to reading this book for awhile and decided to do it around Halloween since it is about witches. If you haven't notice, Halloween is like my favorite holiday and my favorite time of year. There is just something about pumpkins and scarves and boots that I love so much. But yeah, so that is why I decided to read this one now!

 

6. The Raven Boys - Maggie Stiefvater

SO EXCITED! I love love love Maggie Stiefvater's books. There hasn't been one that I hadn't like. First it was the Wolves of Mercy Falls series. One of my favorite series ever. Then it was the Scorpio Races. Again so so good. I just know that I will love this one as well. She always makes the characters and the world so unique and really enjoyable to read about. I can't wait to see how this series will turn out.

 

7. Feedback (Variant, #2) - Robison Wells

I read Variant last fall and was surprised by how much I really liked it. It is actually more science fiction than dystopian which was unique to all the other books that are coming out now a days. Also the ending of Variant had the biggest cliff-hanger ever. I was totally shock. I didn't see half the plot twist coming in this book. I can't wait too see what will happen next!

 

8. Ghosts of Ashbury High - Jaclyn Moriarty

This book has been in my TBR list for almost a year. I am pretty much intimidated by the thickness of it. It is over 400 hundred pages. I also have been saving this for a Halloween read for some reason. I have a lot of great things about this book, not one bad word. So I am really looking forward to reading it.

 

9. Bittersweet - Sarah Ockler

The last book that I read by Sarah Ockler was Twenty Boy Summer. So it has been awhile, but I remember loving that book so much. I have had this on my TBR list for awhile and plan to read it this fall. I have also heard good things about this as well. I heard that it has cupcakes and ice skating. Sounds like my type of story!

 

10. Beautiful Disaster - Jamie McGuire

Yes, I do plan to read this. I bought it last month and have actually been looking forward to see what the hype is about. Since I told myself that I would never read 50 Shades of Grey, I thought that I could read this instead. So maybe it won't be that bad? Who knows. I probably will like it, knowing me. I do like the cover for this. I wonder what it has to do the story? Have any of you guys read it. Let me know what you thought of it!

Top Ten Tuesday: Favorite Books You've Read During The Lifespan Of Your Blog (7)

This weekly meme is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

 

This weeks Top Ten is:

FAVORITE BOOKS YOU'VE READ DURING THE LIFESPAN OF YOUR BLOG

 

I started my Blog in November 2011.

 

1. Divergent - Veronica Roth

I read this book in December 2011. I loved it so much. I was putting it off because I didn't think I would like it and I didn't want to be one of those crazy weird people who didn't like it. However, this is one of my all-time favorite books. I love Four and the dauntless so much.

 

2. Shatter Me - Tahereh Mafi

I read this book in January 2012. It was just right down kick ass awesome. The writing style that Tahereh Mafi uses is so unique and original. Juliette and Warner are like my crackship. I can't wait to read Destroy Me. Finally get some time in Warner's crazy brain.

 

3. The Fault in Our Stars - John Green

I read this book in March 2012. Do I really need to say anything? This book was just epic. I don't know of any other word to describe it. If you haven't read this book, like, seriously what are you doing with your life? This book made me laugh, cry, and think about life. I highly, highly recommend it. Even if you don't like John Green's other books, you will like this one. Trust me.

 

4. Legend - Marie Lu

I read this book in March 2012. Another awesome dystopian. Seeing a trend here? Yep, I love dystopia. I don't care what people say. Some say that are tired of it, but I happen to love it so much. Legend was just so good. I am dying waiting for the next book which doesn't come out till January 2013. Why so far away?!

 

5. The Scorpio Races - Maggie Stiefvater

I read this book in April 2012. I love Maggie's other series, The Wolves of Mercy Falls, so I knew for sure that I would love this book. The writing was so beautiful and it's about horses! I love horses, I was kinda obsessed as a kid. There are alternating chapters between Puck and Sean. Their whole relationship was beautiful as well. I recommend this book as well, however, it does take a few chapters to get into.

 

6. Lola and the Boy Next Door - Stephanie Perkins

I read this book in April 2012. I could just go on and on and on about how much I love this book. Lola and Cricket were just so amazing. One of my favorite contemporaries and I just stated earlier dystopian tends to be my favorite here lately, but this was such a good nice change. Lola has to be one of my all time favorite characters ever. She was just so crazy with all of her outfits. Such a good book.

 

7. The Golden Lily - Richelle Mead

I read this book in June 2012. I love Richelle Mead. I really do. First, it was her Vampire Academy series. Now it's her Bloodlines series. Oh gosh, what these books do to me. Sydney and Adrian, just oh  my gosh. I'm not even going to hide my fangirlness with them. I love these books and they just keep coming and being more awesome each time.

 

8. The Immortal Rlues - Julie Kagawa

I read this book in June 2012. I love Julie Kagawa's other series, The Iron Fey, so I wasn't sure how she would handle vampires but she did it perfectly. I can't explain in words my love for this book. It is like this dystopian about vampires. My two favorite things. Lol.

 

9. City of Lost Souls - Cassandra Clare

I read this book in May 2012. Oh my, do I love a good book by Cassandra Clare. While the Mortal Instruments is my favorite, the Infernal Devices is just a little bit below it. I loved all the different story lines that went on in this and also Clary going with Jace and Sebastian. Wasn't expecting what happened with Sebastian. We really got to see his character a lot more, and he is one creepy evil dark dude. I just can't wait for the next book, but I don't want it to come cause that means its the end of this book series.

 

 

10. Insurgent - Veronica Roth

I read this book in May 2012. Is this cheating since I posted Divergent too? Oh well, just can't get enough of this series. Tris and Four are one of the best couples that I have ever read about and the big secret at the end of this book was just so good. I am dying waiting for the next book. I wonder what it will be called. Hmm...

Top Ten Tuesday: Characters I’d Like To Switch Places With For 24 Hours (6)

This weekly meme is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

This weeks Top Ten is:

CHARACTERS I'D LIKE TO SWITCH PLACES WITH FOR 24 HOURS

1. Clary Fray (The Mortal Instruments Series)

The reason I picked Clary first might be pretty obvious. I just like to have a full on make out session with Jace. Yep. Not even going to lie about it. Admitting that you have a problem is the first step to recovery right? LOL. Besides, she is pretty BA and awesome. She also has red hair like me and has a pretty great friend Simon. I would love to be her for a day. (yay! for Lily Collins! I approve of this casting decision, just fyi!)

2. Tessa Gray (The Infernal Devices Series)

Yes, I picked Tessa too. *Sigh* I really do have a problem. Also I would want to be Tessa (besides the obvious reasons like Will/Jem) is because she is so smart and loves to read. I also would love to see Victorian London and try to figure out the mystery behind the Clockwork army. (if there ever is a movie Nina Dobrev needs to play her! Just omg. it would be sooo good!)

3. Sydney Sage (Bloodlines Series)

Sydney has to be one of my all time favorite female characters ever. I can relate more to her and I ever could to Rose from the Vampire Academy. I would also act totally different from how Sydney does so I would confuse everybody like Jill and Eddie. That would be fun. It would also be fun to flirt with Adrian! :D (I really don't know who would play Sydney if there ever would be a movie but I think the actress that plays Rebekah from Vampire Diaries would be a good pick!)

4. Lola Nolan (Lola and The Boy Next Door)

This has to be one of my favorite books that I have ever read and I usually don't like contemporary that well but this book just stole my heart. I would also just love to meet Cricket. He is so lovely. I would love to see all of her crazy costumes and pick one out myself. If you guys hadn't read this book yet, I highly suggest you do! (I typed this on google images, does anyone know who this actres is? It looks like a pretty good Lola. what do you guys think? Yay or Nay?)

5. June Iparis (Legend)

She is just so kick ass and brave. It would be awesome to just be her and use all of her fight skills and beat people up. I am so excited for the next book to see what will happen between her and Day. Also the author of this Marie Lu is so cool! I follow her twitter and love her updates! This is a great series! (I have no idea to pick an acterss for her. Does people have someone in mind who should play her in a movie or something? I like this drawing of her though!)

6. Kylie Galen (Shadow Falls Series)

I love these books so much! I am so happy that the author decided to continue the series and not stop at just three books. If you have read these books, you know how funny and awesome they are. Kylie has such a great sense of humor and has two best friends that are both a vampire and witch. Plus she has a hot half-fae and werewolf pack leader fighting over her. I would also love to see Shadow Falls, which a camp for teens that are supernatural. It would just be so cool! (I couldn't really think of anyone to play Kylie either. So I thought maybe Alison off of PLL would be pretty good. She fits the physical discription plus she can act really well. What do you guys think?

7. Tris Prior (Divergent Series)

Yes, I picked Tris from Divergent. I would not want to live in this society at all, but I would like to live in Tris' body for a day. She is just so bad and DIVERGENT! She also has a hot boyfriend so that helps.I would like to see Chicago divided up into the five factions and see how different society is. (i just want taissa farmiga to play tris so much! I think she would do a very good job and I loved her in American Horror Story as Violet, but I know there a few that don't like her for the pick. Who do you like for Tris?)

8.  Hermione Granger (Harry Potter Series)

Why would I not want to be Hermione and see freaking Hogwarts for a day? But that would just make me depressed though when I would have to leave, but whatever, it would be worth it. Also to have Harry and Ron as your best friends, uh, yes please! (Also isn't this picture of Emma Watson so adorable! I found out and just had to use this one for my post! I love it!)

9. Puck Connolly (The Scorpio Races)
The Scorpio Races was probably one of my favorite reads this year. There was just something about this world that is so captivating. It is a beautiful coming of age story and it's about horses! Horses! There really needs to be more books about them. Plus Puck is so tough and brave. I don't know if I would had the guts do half of what she did. (I honestly have no idea to pick for Puck, but I stumble across somebody saying that they think Molly Quinn would be a good pick so I decided to go along with that, but I really have no idea.)

10. Bella Swan (Twilight Saga)

Yeah, I know I picked Bella. But I don't really care the books are still good and I really do like them. I mostly picked Bella because I would just love to see the Cullens in person and also Edward and Jacob. (maybe something a little bit random but what is going on with Kristen cheating on Rob, oMfG! LOL.)

This weekly meme is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

This weeks Top Ten is:

BOOKS ON MY SUMMER TBR LIST

1. The Golden Lily - Richelle Mead

I am currently reading this right now and oh my gosh it is so good! I love Richelle Mead's writing and characters! This series is just so awesome. I really want to finish this before my summer English class that starts. I also met Richelle Mead last week, if you missed my post about the event you can see it here.

 

2. Stunning (PLL, #11) - Sara Shepard

What can I say? Pretty Little Liars is my guilty pleasure. I have this on hold at the library and is impatiently waiting for it. I have read that Stunning talks about Emily's big secret! I can't wait to read it! I am also a big fan of the TV Show and I love to the read the books while the TV Show is one even though they are completely opposite of each other. I hope I get this one soon!

 

3. Hide and Seek (TLG, #4) - Sara Shepard

Again another guilty pleasure! Sara Shepard's books are just so darn addicting! I tend to like this series better than PLL. This is the fourth book in that series and it comes out at the end of July. I also love the covers of this series! If you haven't checked out the Lying Game series yet, I recommend them!

 

4. The Book Thief - Markus Zusak

Some people say that this is all time favorite book ever and I just want to read this so bad. I have read the first couple pages already and love it! I want to see what all the buzz is around this book!

5. The Perks of Being a Wallflower - Stephen Chbosky

I saw the trailer for this a couple weeks ago and just have to read this before the movie! It has Emma Watson, Logan Lerman, and Nina Dobrev in it! Some of my favorite celebrities! I have also heard a lot of great things about this book! It sounds like it is really deep and will be memorable! :)

 

6. Between the Lines - Jodi Picoult & Samantha van Leer

I am a big fan of Jodi Picoult's books. The Tenth Circle, Nineteen Minutes, and Harvesting the Heart is some of my favorites! I am curious too see how she will pull off writing a young adult novel. She is also writing this with her daughter! The story sounds so interesting and I love the cover!

7. Beautiful Chaos - Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl

I have been putting this book off because it is so huge! But I want to read this summer before the fourth and final book comes out in the series in the fall. The Beautiful Creature's movie is also coming out in February 2013. So I thought that finishing up the series will get my excited for the movie!

 

8. The Maze Runner - James Dashner

Everybody has read this book and it has been recommended to me so many times! I bought this a couple months ago and just haven't gotten around to reading it yet but I will soon. I know that I will probably love it just like everybody else!

 

 

9. The Percy Jackson Series - Rick Riordan

I have read the first book in the series, but haven't read the last four and I really want too because I want to read his Heroes of Olympus series! I plan on buying these over the next couple weeks so I can get started on them before the summer is over and can start the Heroes of Olympus series in the fall!

 

 

 

10. Harry Potter Series - J.K. Rowling

I am participating in the 2012 Harry Potter Reading Challenge. I have read all the books in this series but the last two books and that is just so dumb of me not to finish the last two books. I think the reason why I have been putting it off is because I know that once I finish the last book; Harry Potter will really be over for me :(
