Top Ten Tuesday-It is a meme created by aime at The Broke and the Bookish where you create a list of your top ten favorite of any given category. This week we are listing what books would you take if you were on a deserted island. P.S. I'm sorry for missing last weeks Top Ten Tuesday! I was uber busy and I didn't have time! I shall do better...I promise!
1.Daughter of Smoke and Bone (Daughter of Smoke and Bone, #1)
2.The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer (Mara Dyer, #1)

This list isn't in any particular order. All of these books I love dearly and would of course sacrifice some..."cough, cough"...more important things like food and water when I'm on a deserted island.
SO, everyone who sees this and leaves a comment below gets....an imaginary cookie! The cookie is also better for you since...you know, it isn't REAL, so you are not consuming sugar and butter and other bad stuff in a cookie ;D

Top Ten Tuesday: Favorite Kick-ass Heroines

Top Ten Tuesday-It is a meme created by aime at The Broke and the Bookish where you create a list of your top ten favorite of any given category. This week we are listing who is our top ten kick-ass heroines! I'm excited to do this, 'cause, well I have alot of great heroines to list!

1.When I first hear the words "kick-ass heroines", I immediately think of Katsa in Graceling. She was definitely a kick-ass type of person. She could kill people with her bare hands! I just loved her as a character maybe even adored her just for her Grace( extreme skill). She was hard to get used but, once you did there is no going back.

2.Eona or rather known as "Eon" in the first book was just another great and very determined fighter. I loved her from the beginning. I haven't got one thing to complain about her. She is crippled( in the first book), but that doesn't slow her down one bit. She just tries harder. I think that all her hard work, though, paid off in the end.

3.Princess Malva in Princetta was a bit annoying at first, but she was also very determined. She's not afraid to get her hands dirty, even if she is a princess. I don't remember this book all to well, except the ending, which was one of the worst endings the worst ending ever. Seriously, the book would have been ten times better, if not for the ending. Now, I'm geting off topic here, so back to her character. I really did enjoy her, but she did get annoying at times. Overall, she was quite enjoyable.

4.Karou in The Daughter of Smoke and Bone. I shouldn't even have to say anything. If you haven't read this book, then you haven't lived. If you haven't catched on, I LOVED her character so, SO much! Ugh! I can't even explain!

5.Juliette in Shatter Me. Mainly, I just thought her superpowers were wicked! I didn't find her character that special really, but I must say I loved her powers. Who wouldn't? Even if you couldn't touch anyone without killing them...

6.Kylie in the Shadow Falls series is another character that has superpowers. Or not quite superpowers but these mysterious "skills" I should call it. So far( or at least until book 3) there has only been hints at what she might be, but so far no reliable evidence has proved what she is. I just loved her character from the very beginning! I just could kind of relate to her even though I don't have superpowers of my own!

7.Rose in Vampire Academy was kick-ass for SURE!

Hmm...I'm out of options again! I was hoping I could make it up to ten this time! Anyways, questions, comments, concerns? Links are accepted also!

Top Ten Tuesday: Books to get you into the Halloween Spirit!

Top Ten Tuesday-It is a meme created by aime at The Broke and the Bookish where you create a list of your top ten favorite of any given category. This week we are doing books that will get you into the Halloween spirit! In other words, we are doing spook-tastic books!

1.This book, honestly, ALWAYS pops into my head first, when thinking about Halloween! It was a nice, creepy book. Trust me, it is probably one of the scariest books I have read. It is called...Anna Dressed In Blood(See! Even the name sounds scary!). The cover is JUST gorgeous also!
Anna Dressed in Blood (Anna, #1)
2.The second book I think of is quite the opposite of the the above book. It is about zombies instead of ghosts! Quite a change of topic. Anyways, this book was just another scary book to read, espicially around Halloween! It is called Dearly, Departed. Zombie books are quite interesting also. At least for me, though I have heard people complain how they dislike zombie books because they are stupid and all, but really people it IS called fiction! I also have a disease called covermance for this book!
Dearly, Departed (Gone With the Respiration, #1)
3.Another AMAZING scary book is Masque of the Red Death. It had everything: great plot, perfect pacing, swoonworthy romance, and everything you can think of( at least that are kinda related to the plot).
Masque of the Red Death (Masque of the Red Death, #1)
4.Umm...well the funny thing is, I haven't FINISHED this book yet. Please, do not start yelling at me and throwing objects at my imaginary head! But, it was GREAT, at least the parts that I have read. I plan on reading it soon once...I finish all the books I have started lately, due to the fact that there has been TEN BILLION RELEASES THIS MONTH THAT I HAVE BEEN DYING TO READ THIS WHOLE ENTIRE YEAR! Wow, that felt good to type! Here is the display of the cover. I never felt any covermance for this book really, but it isn't ugly or anything...just kinda boring in my opinion. Not to be mean. I'm sure there are a TON of people who feel covermance towards this book!
Something Strange and Deadly (Something Strange and Deadly, #1)
5.This book is a newly released book that I haven't had the chance to buy yet but, hopefully, I will save up some money to do that soon! It certainly sounds spook-tastic from the description. I will give you a preview of the description:
Velveteen Monroe is dead. At 16, she was kidnapped and murdered by a madman named Bonesaw. But that’s not the problem.
Even the first paragraph of the description has drawn you in! If it hasn't...WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOUR HEAD? Just joking, please do not take offense!( I'm getting nervous about my sick humor! People might start taking it the wrong way!)
.Velveteen (Velveteen, #1)
6.This is ANOTHER zombie book that I have yet to devour, but will soon enough! Covermance for sure on this one! I love the design of it!
Alice in Zombieland (White Rabbit Chronicles, #1)
7.This book, yet again, is a new release that is on my MUST-READ-NOW-LIST! I've heard some mixed reviews, but I'm still going to give it a shot because I think it still sounds amazing, even if some people hated/disliked. I mean, doesn't everyone hate at least one book that everyone else loves? It could be the opposite. I could love this book and everyone else hates it? Hopefully!
Ten
8.This book I actually JUST found! But it sounded perfect for Halloween! I think it may be for middle grade-ish, but still, come on people, who really cares about what age group it is in? Even if...my blog MAY be called All About YA Novels!
The Cavendish Home For Boys and Girls

I honestly can't think of any other scary books. At least at the moment. I'm actually pretty proud of myself for finding THIS many scary books considering that I don't read very many!
SO, chat it up with me or leave me a link! Anything, really...I don't mind random comments( as long as it isn't TOO rude!)

Top Ten Tuesday: Rewind

Top Ten Tuesday-It is a meme created by aime at The Broke and the Bookish where you create a list of your top ten favorite of any given category. And this week we are supposed to do a past topic that you may want to do again or missed out on, but since this is only my second week of doing this meme I'm only going to choose a random one. This week I will randomly do: Top Ten Books On Your Fall TBR List. I'm doing this one since, well since I have literally a TON of fall TBR books that I can't wait to read!
1.Black City (Black City, #1)
I've been dying to read this book for so long! The description is brilliant and the cover is gorgeous, who wouldn't want to read it? But, anyways I cannot wait until it releases!
2.Gravity (The Taking, #1)
Another must read on my shelf, since it sounds great and..."gasp"...when I saw the cover I fell in love! Aliens included with this package....definite, definite must read!
3.Crewel (Crewel World, #1)
This book just sounded so original and flawless from the description. It just appealed to me and I also cannot wait to read it!
4.Time Between Us
This book is actually a step-out-of-the-box for me since I surpisely never read time-travel books. The only one's I've read was Ruby Red and a few others. But, this captured my attention right away and I'm excited to finally devour it!
5.The Diviners (The Diviners, #1)
Historical fiction? Yes please!
6.Venom (Secrets of the Eternal Rose, #1)
I actually just recently stumbled upon this book and I thought it sounded just well...amazing! Anyway I'm highly anticipating this one until the release date and then I will devour it in my free time!
7.Velveteen (Velveteen, #1)
I have no idea what to say except that I love the idea that she is going to haunt her killer( I actually cannot believe I typed that...it just sounds so wrong).
8.Silver (Bandia, #1)
OMG! Just look at the cover...just take a moment to breathe into the beauty of it. Yes, I sound very creepy right now, but didn't you already know that? Anyway, back to the book, I loved the description of the book and I was instantly intrigued by it and I ALSO loved the cover!( If you didn't already notice.)
9.Valkyrie Rising
This just sounded so fascinating so I couldn't resist putting it on the list...it was calling me :D
10.This is my last and final book that I HAVE BEEN DYING TO READ FOR ALMOST A YEAR! I just absolutely fell in love with the first book and I was so happy when I found out there was a sequel to it! Here it is:

Days of Blood and Starlight (Daughter of Smoke and Bone, #2)

OMG! OMG! Just look at the cover..."fangirling and squealing continues"....Need I say more why I'm highly anticipating it?

Top Ten Tuesday: Favorite "Older" Books


"Top Ten Tuesday" is a meme created by Jaime at The Broke and the Bookish that features our top ten list of books in any given category
This is my first meme ever! I'm excited 'cause I've always wanted to participate in one of these things. 
My top Favorite older books would be:
  


1.Unbecoming of Mara Dyer-This book was just SO good. I loved the plot, the characters, and the ending. For me, it was just a perfect book.
2.Daughter of Smoke and Bone-I loved this book! I thought she did a WAY different idea with angels than any other angel books I have read. If you have not read this, then you need to NOW!
3. Firelight-I just found the idea of this novel so interesting. I have actually not read very many books with humans that can transfrom into dragons. SO, I thought it was very original and just a good fantasy read.
4.Blood Red Road-This was a very descriptive, complex read. And that is the reason why I loved it so much( but I also loved Jack's humor).
5.Ella Enchanted-This is actually a very old fav. book of mine. If I would have started reading this novel this year, I would have not liked it very much, due to the fact of the simpleness of the novel( I now am more drawn to long, complex reads). But, the reason why I love it is because it made me the avid reader I am today. But, if you enjoy fairy-tale-like novels, this is the one for you.
6.Delirium-I kinda am obsessed with dystopian books and this book was beyond what I could hope in one. I just loved the plot, characters, and the idea of the book!( I cried also)
And there you have it! I loved all six of these books and they will always have a place in my heart.
