Top Ten Books I've Recently Added To My TBR

It's been a while since I did a Top Ten Tuesday buuuut I'm back! At least, for this Tuesday. :))  The Prom Goer's Interstellar Excursion  by Chris McCoy This sounds pretty ridiculous which is probably why I put it in my TBRs. I know. My reasons are so profound. Passenger by Alexandra Bracken This is a beautiful (unique) cover and I'm all for books about time-travel. Roommate Wanted by Nina Perez First of all, in my opinion, the most interesting stories are about ordinary people who would've never noticed each other accept that somehow they now exist in each other's lives aka live in the same house. Second of all... Yeah. I only had the one point. Never Always Sometimes by Adi Alsaid I like lists. I like not being cliche. A story about trashing lists and being cliche? Hmm, interesting. In all seriousness though, I've heard great things and I've been wanting to read it f...

Top Ten Covers I'd Frame as Pieces of Art

The time has come for the fantastic weekly meme Top Ten Tuesday aka TTT over at The Broke and the Bookish . When I saw the topic for this week's TTT, I was so excited! But then depression set in because how. How was I supposed to choose ten (only ten) covers? Well, I did it. Finally.

I'm pretty sure it's digitally created (LOVE) and the dress is amazing and the lace on her arms...ugh, I need it please. Also, if you look closely there are gears in the background-- everything a steampunk cover should be. Shatter Me, Unravel Me, and Ignite Me by Tahereh Mafi            There is no way this list would be complete with these gorgeous covers. And, yes, I'm counting all three as one. By the way, did you notice that in Shatter Me the eye is crying really hard, in Unravel Me there's only a lone teardrop...

Top Ten Popular Authors I've Never Read

I'm actually a little embarrassed by some of these...because, well, pretty much everybody else has read them. I hate you guys. I am so jealous. Seriously. Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted  by The Broke and the Bookish . Basically, lists. I love lists. They put up the Top Tens for several weeks in advance, and they're all book related! 1. J. K. Rowling Yes, I am aware that I'm a failure. Apparently, the Harry Potter books are amazing and I do want to read them. I just haven't gotten around to it.   2. Stephenie Meyer , author of the Twilight series and The Host . I really want to read The Host because I watched the movie and it was awesome. But , I'm a little wary of the Twilight series because of the HUGE amount of negative opinions on it. I plan on trying it out anyways though.           3. John Green *sobs* I'm sorry (My sins are unpardonable). I really want to read The Fault in Our Stars beca...
