Today, The Broke and The Bookish gave us the choice to pick whichever Top Ten Tuesday we wanted so I picked Top Ten Books I Want To Reread:

1. Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead

VA is one of my favorite books and series. And I am actually rereading it at the moment. 

2. Heist Society by Ally Carter

I absolutely loved all of the characters and I want to revisit them. Like old friends. 

3. I’d Tell You I Love You But I’d Have To Kill You by Ally Carter

The last book of the series is coming out soon. I want to re-read them all so I’m up to speed. And I LOVE spies.

4. Getting Over Garrett Delaney by Abby McDonald

I’m a little heart broken so… I wan to read this to make me feel better.

5. Bittersweet by Sarah Ockler

There is just something about this story that I just loved. And it has cupcakes. Yup. I know, CUPCAKES.

6. Divergent by Veronica Roth

This book was phenomenal and I want to fall in love with four all over again.

7. Ana and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins

This story is so cute. I just absolutely loved it.

8. Love Story by Jennifer Echols

There are no words for my love for this book. I always want to re read it. 

9. Two-Way Street by Lauren Barnholdt

I read this book back in 2009 and I absolutely loved it. I want to re read it to see how much I would love it now.

10. Girl Overboard by Justina Chen

I remember I loved this book in 2008. I want to feel the happy feeling it gave me when I read it then.

What are some of the books you want to re-read?

Top Ten Words/Topics That Instantly Make Me Buy/Pick Up A Book

Veronica Porras (TTB)

toptentuesday-1Today’s Top Ten Tuesday is about…impulse buys and I guess it was time the world knew what made me say, “Take my money!” (Oh Tumblr Memes…). Thank you The Broke and The Bookish for creating such fun meme’s, even if it does mean that the world will find out about my bad impulsive buying habits.

This week I will not be doing Top Ten but Top Five instead. (I’m currently writing two big term papers. That is my excuse.)

TOP FIVE TOPICS THAT INSTANTLY MAKE ME BUY/PICK UP A BOOK

1. Spies

I’ve secretly wanted to be a spy all my life but I lack the skills and um physical fitness needed for that type of job.

2. Thief/Con Artist

I love a good con. This explains my continuing support of the Heist Society Series by Ally Carter and the USA Network TV show, White Collar.

3. Boarding School

I’ve always lived at home and when it was time to go to college, I picked a university that was an hour and a half away from home. I guess I’ve always wanted to move thousands of miles away and see how that is. The only way I can experience that is through books.

4. Setting: Europe

I think Ana and the French Kiss and 13 Little Blue Envelopes. I love those two books. Now I want to go to Europe.

5. Dystopian (Ex: Divergent, The Hunger Games, or The Selection)

I get these moments when all I want to read is dystopian books. I’ve been a fan of dystopian books since I was in middle school. My favorite dystopian novel then was “The Bar Code Tattoo”. I kind of want to re-read now since it has been almost a decade since I last read it.

 

What are some topics that dissolve your strong will and make you resort to impulsive buying? Come on now… We all have at least one. 😉

Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten Books I Thought I’d Like MORE Than I Did

Veronica Porras (TTB)

toptentuesday-1Hello Everybody! It seems I have become a consistent Top Ten Tuesday meme person and I like it. I hope I can keep this up all the way until the end of the semester. Thank you The Broke and The Bookish for this tuesday meme. This Tuesday the topic is Top Ten Books I Thought I’d Like MORE/LESS Than I Did. 

I have picked the “I Thought I’d Like More Than I did” version. This Top Ten Tuesday is going to be easy for me.

1. Delirium (#1 in the Delirium Trilogy) by Lauren Oliver

I know that most people LOVE this book but I can’t seem to love it or even like it. I am about eighty percent done with the book and I have put it aside for now. The sad part is that I bought the whole trilogy before even reading the first book and now I’m stuck with it. I do have something positive to say about it though. I liked the first half of the book. I did. It’s the second half that I’m having a problem with.

2. He’s So Not Worth It (He So/She So #2) by Kiera Scott

I read the first book in the He’s So/She’s So series and it was alright. I got the second book in the series and I started reading it and I hated it. I really thought I was going to like the rest of the series since I liked the first one but it just took a turn into Crazy-Ville which I did not want to go through myself. So I stopped reading the series. Oops.

3. The Coincidence of Callie and Kayden by Jessica Sorensen

This book was horrendous. I had just gotten my nook and I had a Barnes & Nobles gift card that had some money left so I decided to buy this book because it was only a dollar. Not bad right? Wrong. I want my dollar back. I think even I could have written something better. I know that makes me sound very judgmental but dear gosh was that bad writing. I felt like I was reading a bad written fan fiction.

4. Juliet Immortal by Stacey Jay

I had such high hopes for this book. Rome and Juliet reinvented? Yes! I was so pumped when I got this book until it all fell apart. I barely had any motivation to finish the book and truthfully, I skimmed the last 40 pages or so. I was so disappointed with this book.

5. If We Kiss by Rachel Vail

I saw the second book of the If We Kiss series at Barnes and Nobles and it seemed promising so I  bought the first book on my nook. This book was also a disaster. It was boring and the plot sucked. I can’t even think of some bad adjectives to describe that book. I felt like my IQ fell as I read that book. It was only two dollars in the nook store. Maybe that should have been a sign.

6. Etiquette for the End of the World by Jeanne Martinet

I requested the ARC for this book and in the end, I regretted it. The plot was promising and it had potential but it was poorly executed.

7. We’ll Always Have Summer (Summer #3) by Jenny Han

This is the last book in the Summer Series. The first two books in the series were great. Awesome even. I absolutely loved them! This series was starting to become one of my favorite contemporary young adult series and then the last book took a turn for the worst and it lost me. I was so mad and disappointed that I didn’t even finish it. I skipped to the end to at least have some closure.

8. When It Happens by Susane Colasanti

Someone suggested Susane Colasanti books to me because I love Sarah Dessen. Bad Rec. The story was mediocre and it left me feeling unamused. 

9. The Sky is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson

I was in the mood for some deep emotional YA book and I saw this on a Barnes and Nobles display and bought it. I only ended up reading half of it. I was disappointed. 

10. Linger (The Wolves of Mercy Falls #2) by Maggie Stiefvater

Shiver, the first book in The Wolves of Mercy Fall, was a great book. I loved it. This book, I hated it. I am not the only one with this opinion. I might read Forever the third and last book in the trilogy but this book ruined it for me. 

So, that’s all for this Top Ten Tuesday.

I want to know what you guys are thinking! What book did you believe would be great but ended up disappointing you?

Top Ten Characters I Would Crush On If I Were Also A Fictional Character

Veronica Porras (TTB)

toptentuesday-1

My first Tuesday meme! Hooray! The wonders spring break does to my blog.

This week I am participating in The Broke and The Bookish’s Top Ten Tuesday meme. This weeks Top Ten is: Top Ten Characters I Would Crush On If I Were Also A Fictional Character!

Ow! This is going to be hard because I’m going to have to admit this not just to myself but to the rest of the world as well but nonetheless, here I go.

1. Adrian Ivashkov (VA and BL Series)

Yes, I admit it. He is one bad boy I would totally have a crush on if I were a fictional character. Even though I shipped Dimitri and Rose in VA I still felt bad for Adrian. The Bloodlines series gave me a new perspective on Adrian that made me fall in love with him like Sydney did.

2. W.W. Hale the Fifth (Heist Society Series)

I’m a Hale girl all the way. My question is, how can you not be a Hale girl? Go and read the Heist Society series if you don’t know what I’m talking about. Who doesn’t want a nice, rich, good looking guy?

3. Zach Goode (Gallagher Girls Series)

Even though I’m a Hale girl, I still like Zach. Who doesn’t like a little mystery in a guy right? Especially if he is a spy. 🙂

4. Four/Tobias (Divergent Trilogy)

Come on now ladies, do I really have to go into detail as to why I would have a crush on Four if I were in the Divergent World? Four sacrificed himself for Tris and stayed Dauntless just for her. That deserves some credit don’t you think?

5. Étienne St. Clair (Anna and the French Kiss)

St. Clair. Even though he has some baggage I would still fall for him just like Anna did and well the other girl that fell for him in the story as well. What’s her name? I can’t remember but my point is I wouldn’t be the only fictional character falling for him.

6. Eddie Castile (VA & BL)

Surprised to see this right? Eddie is faithful, protective, kind, chivalrous, and has a playful side. Need I say more? I am very glad we got to see more of him in the Bloodlines Series as he was a back-burner character in the Vampire Academy Series.

7. Josh (Getting Over Garrett Delaney)

I really don’t want to reveal much about Josh so I suggest you go read the book and figure it out yourself. In my honest opinion, Getting Over Garrett Delaney is a YA contemporary book everyone should read.

8. Jacob (Bunheads)

Ah. Jacob. A musician that helps you forget about your problems and tries to understand you even though he has no idea what the heck you’re going through. I always like a man that can be sympathetic. Who doesn’t?

9. Cricket (Lola and the Boy Next Door)

Ladies. Do I have to explain myself again? Cricket is adorable, kind, and he will just about do almost everything for Lola. The only bad thing was when he left without saying goodbye, but after we figure out why we can forgive him. I want my own Cricket. I just love nerdy boys.

10. Dimitri Belikov (VA)

I was debating whether to add him to my list or not. The first time I read VA I completely fell for Dimitri and when I read it again I was more attracted to Adrian. The thing is though, I think if I was in the VA world, I would still crush on him and I would most likely get over the age difference. He’s in his late twenties… I’m in my early twenties. It’s all good. 🙂 And I would totally love to date a man who is up to challenging me. 😉

So, those are my Top Ten Characters I would crush on if I was a fictional character. But who are we kidding, we already have a crush on them anyways!

Please leave a comment and tell me what characters you would crush on if you were a fictional character. I really want to know what you guys are thinking.

Happy Reading!
