Top 5 Wednesday: Best Suggested Books You Loved

Top 5 Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Lainy from gingereadslainy (youtuber). Every week a topic is given and you have to name your top five of it. These aren't in any order so let's get started...

5: The Maze Runner by James Dashner

One of my friends suggested this book to me and I really thought that I would hate it as I am more interested in books with female protagonists but I loved this book a lot. 

4: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

A lot of my friends recommended this book to me about four/five years ago. I said that I would hate it and my parents didn't approve so I didn't pick it up until a couple years later and I ended up really enjoying it. 

3: The Selection by Kiera Cass

My sister (@sprinklesandseams.blogspot.com ) actually recommended this book to me and it is one of my favorite series and books. 

2: Splintered by A.G. Howard

This book was recommended to me last year by one of my friends (Claire). She really liked the first book and told me to read it and I ended up enjoying it a lot and picked up the others even though she didn't like them. 

1: Cinder by Marissa Meyer 

This was recommended to me by one of my friends and I am so glad she told me to read this as it is one of my favorite series of all time! 

These are also books that I highly recommend so go check them out if you ever need something to read and haven't read these. Oh and go check out Cath from https://trustinthewords.wordpress.com as she did a post as well.

I will see you all soon for a couple TV episode reviews, a haul and a book review! 

Keep on Reading! 

Waiting on Wednesday #5

Waiting on Wednesday is a meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that everyone’s excited about.

The last thing sixteen-year-old Jamie Watson–writer and great-great-grandson of the John Watson–wants is a rugby scholarship to Sherringford, a Connecticut prep school just an hour away from his estranged father. But that’s not the only complication: Sherringford is also home to Charlotte Holmes, the famous detective’s enigmatic, fiercely independent great-great-granddaughter, who’s inherited not just his genius but also his vices, volatile temperament, and expertly hidden vulnerability. Charlotte has been the object of his fascination for as long as he can remember–but from the moment they meet, there’s a tense energy between them, and they seem more destined to be rivals than anything else.

Then a Sherringford student dies under suspicious circumstances ripped straight from the most terrifying of the Holmes stories, and Jamie and Charlotte become the prime suspects. Convinced they’re being framed, they must race against the police to conduct their own investigation. As danger mounts, it becomes clear that nowhere is safe and the only people they can trust are each other.

Equal parts tender, thrilling, and hilarious, A Study in Charlotte is the first in a trilogy brimming with wit and edge-of-the-seat suspense.

A Study in Charlotte by Brittaney Cavallaro releases on March 1, 2016 from Katherine Tegan Books

I am obsessed with the TV show Sherlock and I am so down for this story based on the famous detective. AHHH! I can't wait! :) 

What are you waiting on this Wednesday?

Top Ten Tuesday

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

This week is all about music & books. We previously did books we’d give theme songs to so feel free to do that! Or 10 songs I wish that were books (check out my love songs I wish were books for an example of what I mean).

For my blogpost I did Ten Songs that I wish were books. These are in no particular order so enjoy this blogpost. 

Glowing in the Dark: The Girl and the Dreamcatcher

I am obsessed with this song as it just has a kind of paranormal feeling to the music video. I would love to see a story about a girl who's boyfriend recently died and he returns and has to deal with that. {Am actually planning on writing this so copyrighted}

Need You Right Now: Bethany Mota and Mike Tompkins

This video especially gives me the feelings of a dystopian type story and I would love to see it. 

"Snow White": Christina Grimmie

This seems like a story with a girl who is maybe unhappy with her life and wants someone to rescue her but I'd like for the girl to be a little stronger than in this song. 

Castle: Halsey

This song gives me the feelings of a dystopian/rebellion/fantasy story and I would love it. 

Ghost Waltz: Sonya Belousova 

I would love to see a story about a ghost who takes a girl to 

Let's Do It Again: Franchesca Maia 

This could be a story about a girl who had a 'fling' with someone but she falls for him and wants him back and it could be their story. 

Mad Hatter: Melanie Martinez

This could totally be a modern Alice in Wonderland retelling and I would love to read it. 

Human: Christina Perri

This should definintly be a two perspective story from a human and an android. It should be dystopian with struggles, action and romance and I would love to read it.

Shatter Me: Lindsey Stirling ft. Lzzy Hale

This would be a steampunk/futuristic story and it would be a great book to read. 

Roundtable Rival: Lindsey Stirling

This would be a Western, Steampunk story with three strong heroines out to catch the villains. 

Top Ten Book Friendships!

For this blogpost, I have decided to do my Top Ten Book Friendships. These are as of February 15, 2016 so I may do another one of these in a couple of months.

Go grab your favorite snack and a cup of tea and settle in for this blogpost. These are also in no particular order.

Number One: Thomas and Newt from The Maze Runner Series by James Dashner.

These two are such good friends in the first and second book, despite Thomas working for WICKED in his past. I love these two as friends and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Number Two: Hermione, Ron and Harry from Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling.

This is the Golden Trio ladies and gentleman. They are the perfect group of friends, willing to stick by each other until the end. They never give up and endure everything.

Number Three: Iko and Cinder from The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer.

I have supported this friendship since day one and I will keep on doing that until the very end. Iko is an android but with such a huge personality and feelings that at times you question it. They are always there for each other.

Number Four: Percy, Annabeth and Grover from The Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan.

These three are the original trio from Rick Riordan’s books and I love them so much. The three of them went on many quests with each other and each one was willing to sacrifice something for another.

Number Five: Eilonwy and Taran from The Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander

Yes, I know that these two are a couple but they didn’t start out that way and I love them as friends. Their hilarious banter kept me going at the slow parts in the books.

Number Six: Scarlet and Winter from The Lunar Chronicles Series by Marissa Meyer

These two did not start out as friends. Scarlet was kept captive by Winter and Scarlet did not like her at all even though Winter was protecting her from Levana but eventually they became friends and their friendship is perfect.

Number Seven: Cinder and Thorne from The Lunar Chronicles Series by Marissa Meyer.

These two have the most hilarious banter. They were both in prison and basically escaped together. I will forever love their friendship.

[This is such a struggle. I can't find a picture for these two]

Number Eight: Marlee and America from The Selection series by Kiera Cass

Marlee didn’t want to be queen and neither did America. Marlee has always supported America’s choices and I think they will forever be friends.

Number Nine: Dex and Sophie from Keeper of the Lost Cities by Shannon Messenger.

These two are the perfect best friends and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Number Ten: Sam and Frodo from The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolken

They are one of the best friendships and Sam’s line to Frodo is one of the best.

“I can’t carry it for you, but I can carry you.”

That line literally makes me want to cry.

Teen Wolf Season 4x9 Review/Thoughts

Teen Wolf Season 4x9 Review/Thoughts

Teen Wolf is one of my favorite TV shows and I have decided to do episode reviews as I am almost up to date.

This will have so many spoilers. Just a warning!

Season Four is awesome but not my favorite season.  We have gotten a new ‘main’ character and new villains.

REVIEW/THOUGHTS

In the episode before it left off with Lydia finding out that her grandmother was responsible for the code. And this raised a ton of questions.

In this episode:

Parrish gets burned alive by his fellow police officer. Unfortunately for the police officer, Parrish survives.

I am seriously so confused as to what he is at this point. Like is he a phoenix? Is that an actual supernatural creature?

Also Meredith Walker comes back and that’s when you know she’s going to be involved in this entire freaking mess.

Kira was MIA for this episode which made me a little bit sad as I really like her.

But we did get a lot of drama. For instance Lydia and Stiles spent time together and then went to ask for files at Eichen House.

Scott, Malia and Liam were at the bonfire at school. And Malia and Liam thought that it was a good idea to attempt to get drunk even though as we found out in season one, they can’t get drunk.  Of course some creepy people were running the party and the music basically made them all loose it and then get almost killed.

Enter Derek Hale who saves them from being almost killed.

Meanwhile, Lydia and Stiles get knocked out (Thanks Jeff Davis for not giving these two special powers) and then they almost get killed by Brunski.

Yeah, I always knew he had problems but I didn’t know that they were this bad. Maybe instead of working at Eichen, he should be entered there as a patient.

And then that cliffhanger tho….

Who ever thought that Meredith Walker would be the Benefactor. Like what is up with that?

Basically the writers:

And Meredith happened to help them. Like she helped them find the second cipher key. I’m starting to think that other people were in on all this.

*Cough* *Cough* Peter Hale *Cough* *Cough*

This is me at the end of this episode:

Anyways… I shall see you soon for another blogpost!

Music Monday #5

I got this idea from the blog Trust in the Words. 

Let's Do It Again by Franchesca Maia

I found this song a couple of days ago and am already in love with it. I love the words and the beat and ugh she's so pretty. Listen to this song!

Happy reading everybody! <3

Musing Monday February 15, 2016!

Musing Mondays is a weekly meme hosted by A Daily Rhythm, that asks you to answer one of the following questions and one special question, which changes every week.

The Questions:

• I’m currently reading…
• Up next I think I’ll read…
• I bought the following book(s) in the past week…
• I’m super excited to tell you about (book/author/bookish-news)…
• I’m really upset by (book/author/bookish-news)…
• I can’t wait to get a copy of…
• I wish I could read ___, but…
• I blogged about ____ this past week…

THIS WEEK’S RANDOM QUESTION: Do you read more than one book at once? Why, or why not?

I bought the following books in the past week...

I just bought Thief of Lies by Brenda Drake and Glass Sword by Victoria Aveyard. I can't wait to dive into these books. 

For this week's random question: Yes, I do read more than one book at once. This is because sometimes I get tired of a book and set it down and pick up another, or I just want to read different books. 

That's all for this week's Musing Monday!
