Top Ten Books I'd Want On A Deserted Island

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly

This weeks topic is the top ten books you'd want

to have if you were stranded on a deserted island.

Since this is all just a thought, I hope you don't

mind if I put some series on my list and we can

all just pretend that I have a huge binder full

of all the books in that series :)

I'd have to bring the Harry Potter series because I'm only on book #4 and I'd love to finish the series and I think I could read it over and over again... Especially the first book.

I picked A Game of Thrones Series because they are HUGE books and I'm sure it would make it pretty fun and easy to pass all that time.

How could I ever live without my Walking Dead? I won't be able to get the new issues, being stuck on said island and such, but I re-read the hell out of the old ones.

I'm not quite sure why I picked this book, I suppose because it interested me a whole lot. 

I could never live without Pidge and Travis! They were so perfect!

Think of a Number was a really really good suspense/murder mystery. The characters personalities were very deep and so real, and the suspense part was amazing. Hands down, the best suspense ever!

When I read Thirteen Reasons Why, I couldn't read it fast enough. But being on this island I could take it slow and just devour the hell out of this book for eternity.

My Favorite 'World Building' Authors

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly

 meme held over at The Broke and the Bookish. 

This weeks topic is your top ten favorite authors

in a specific genre. For Example: Dystopian, 

Contemporary, Sci-Fi...

I chose dystopian, but not just dystopian, because some of my authors aren't classified as such. My selections are authors that are amazing at world building. Describing how that world works and having it flow in my head like a movie. Or when it's still our world, but society is so much different, everything is ran completely different than now. 

My choices:

Veronica Roth

Ahhh, Veronica Roth, the wonderful author of Divergent. I loved Divergent from the first few pages, I knew I was going to fall in love with it. And I did. The world that they live in is crazy, and although we don't know exactly what's going on, we will soon. Can't wait for the third and final book. 

Cat Patrick

Cat Patrick... If you haven't read Forgotten or Revived, you need to. That's need to be on your 'right after I finish this' list! She is amazing at this kinda stuff. Both are set in the present, but when you get sucked into the stories and see how differently their own personal world is... It's amazing.

Tahereh Mafi

I started reading Shatter Me and was instantly drawn in and not even really knowing why. I had heard her name thrown around, but didn't know what all the fuss was about until I actually started reading her book. It's amazing so far, it had to go back to the library, so unfortunately I didn't get to finish it yet. But I'm on the waiting list for it :)

Beth Revis

Have you read Across the Universe? If not, you should! The world Beth Revis built on Godspeed was amazing, all the futuristic-ness was wonderful! I still haven't made it around to A Million Suns, but I will. Hopefully just in time for Shades of Earth. 

Richelle Mead

I just recently read Vampire Academy and though Richelle Mead did a fabulous job. The names were a little weird, but that's all part of the world building. I loved learning about all the different Royals and levels of vampires. Definitely a really great author. Hopefully soon I'll get around to the second book. 

Suzanne Collins

Although I didn't really care for The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins is a great author. All the characters in the different districts and their different social statuses really is very creative. I will eventually finish the series, I'm just not in a rush to do so. 

Kat Zhang

Many of you may not have ever heard of Kat Zhang, but her debut novel What's Left of Me just recently came out. And I read it as fast as I could get my hands on it. The synopsis was so weird and original and extremely unique... for me. I've never heard of anything else like that. A must read!

J.K. Rowling

She wrote the wonderful, wizarding world of Harry Potter... Need I say more?!

Well, those are my picks. I only had 8. I know I didn't exactly follow the guidelines, because I didn't pick an actual genre, but they are my favorite to read in terms of world/society building.

Have you read any of these authors?

Top Ten Books That Should Be Movies

This weeks Top Ten Tuesday topic is a rewind!

You can pick any past topic that you might have

missed or one that you just  want to do again!

I picked the top ten books you think should be made into movies. This was the topic on April 12, 2011. My blog wasn't created or even thought of back then. And this is a fun subject for me. I'm always thinking if I would want it to be made into a movie or not. I think that one question is what really makes up my final decision if I should put it on my favorites list or not. And I'm obviously talking about a world where the movie would be made my way and be exactly like the book and feel just like how it played out in my head while reading it. 

**Clicking on cover will direct to Goodreads**

I haven't finished Shatter Me and What's Left of Me yet, but I'm pretty far in and I know I'm going to love the ending, and hopefully the full series for both. Looking for Alaska wasn't that great to me, but I think it would actually be a pretty good movie. All the rest I just really loved and most are on my favorites list! :)

Now I'm going to insert a few that I would want to become movies and they actually are becoming movies. I can't wait for these!

Top Ten Series I Haven't Finished

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly

 meme held over at The Broke and the Bookish. 

This weeks topic is the top ten series you haven't

finished for one reason or another. 

I just started Vampire Academy, I'm not really into it yet. It seems good, so I'm hoping all the things I've heard about it will be true. And Across The Universe was great, I somehow just never got around to reading A Million Suns, and Shades of Earth will be released soon. So I really need to get on it!

I started the Harry Potter series last December I believe, and I'm currently on the fourth. I still like it, I think I just needed a break, but I never started reading them again. And The Hunger Games, I didn't like it as much as I thought I would. Especially with all the hype, I didn't think it was amazing, but I still want to finish the series.

Think of a Number was amazing! It was the perfect murder/mystery thriller. I couldn't read the pages fast enough, and then I just never got around to the second one. Uglies is one I haven't even started yet, but I have 3 of the books, so all I have to do is finally pick it up. One day...

The Maze Runner was another fabulous book, but again, I just never picked up the second one. I really need too, but I heard some things about the series going downhill after the first. So maybe that's what's holding me back. City of Bones is another that I've heard wonderful things about, but just haven't got it yet. I will soon though.

I loved Crank and Glass, but never got around to reading Fallout, and I kinda forgot what happened, so I plan on going back and reading the series from start to finish. Number is yet another that I think will be very interesting, but just haven't gotten around to starting it just yet. It's on my "up next" list though. 

Then for some fun, I wanted to include a few manga/comic/graphic novel series I'd like to get started and/or finish!

Both Locke & Key and Scott Pilgrim vs The World I haven't started yet, but really need too. Locke & Key was recommended to me as something to read after I finished The Walking Dead graphic novels, which sadly has happened, so I plan on starting that very soon. And Scott Pilgrim, after watching the movie, which was awesome, I really wanted to read the books. 

Emma is one that I don't really know much about, I saw it in a YouTube video and looked it up on Goodreads. It looks interesting, so we'll see how that goes, if I ever get there. Death Note has been amazing so far, I'm on volume 5 and I'm still really liking it.
