This week’s topic is: Top Ten Books Dealing With Tough Subjects
1. Living Dead Girl by Elizabeth Scott
I read this book when I first go into issues books and I was blown away. It’s appalling, but an incredible book. I highly recommend it if you like issues books.
Crank is just amazing. I never get tired of saying that.
3. Ballads of Suburbia by Stephanie Kuehnert
This book addresses all the gritty things that come with being a teenager. I think I could read it over and over again.
I was really unsure about this one. I seem to shy away from books about cutting, but I ended up loving it so much.
5. Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver
This book is heartbreaking but in the best way possible.
6. The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
A cancer book. An amazing cancer book.
This book is about suicide and it’s a gorgeous story. If the trailer alone doesn’t break your heart a little there’s something wrong with you.
8. Such a Pretty Girl by Laura Weiss
Such a horrible and messed up situation, this book brings out so many emotions in the reader. This is another one I highly recommend.
9. Hate List by Jennifer Brown
This one is about a school shooting and it’s incredible.
10.Forbidden by Tabitha Suzuma
Oh, this book is not for everyone, but if you really like reading outside your comfort zone and challenging yourself, read it. It’s extraordinary.

1. Dairy Queen by Catherine Gilbert Murdock
I really, really can’t recommend this series enough! I <3 them so much.
2. Jessica Darling series by Megan McCafferty
These books are so much fun. They’re especially fun for all of us 90′s kids since they take place in the 90′s and early 2000′s.
3. Past Perfect by Leila Sales
Have you read the summary for this book? It doesn’t get any more fun than that!
4. Ten Things We Did by Sarah Mlynowski
This book is so much fun, but it has a great message as well.
5. 13 Little Blue Envelopes by Maureen Johnson
Backpacking through Europe? YES!
6. Paranormalcy by Kiersten White
It’s not often that you come across a really fun paranormal read. This one is hilarious and flat out fun.
This might be one you wouldn’t expect, but it’s such a fun and entertaining time travel read.
8. Heist Society by Ally Carter
These books are the definition of fun. Read them if you haven’t!
9. Audrey, Wait! by Robin Benway
I read this book entirely in one sitting. It’s impossible to put down.
10. Bittersweet by Sarah Ockler
Cupcakes, hockey boys, and Ockler’s wit? Yes, please!

This week’s topic is: Top Ten Topics That Instantly Make Me Buy/Pick Up A Book
I’m not sure what it is but I always have a lot of interest in LGBT books. This interest lead me to some books that I absolutely love like The Miseducation of Cameron Post,
I always want to read books where there’s some kind of unique magic involved like Shadow and Bone, The Girl of Fire and Thorns etc.
There’s a book that comes out next year called The Truth About Alice Franklin and when it was announced in PW it was compared to FNL. Um, YES! I need more FNL-like books in my life. Another good one is In Honor with the Riggins like love interest. Yum…
Witches are the only species that will make me pick up a paranormal book quickly these days. Born Wicked is a good example of that paying off.
If the blurb says swoon-worthy or if a trusty blogger friend uses that phrase I must read it!
Another phrase that will guarantee I read a book. Especially from my favorite bloggers!
I looove books with great atmosphere and that words makes me add a book to my TBR so fast. A perfect example: Masque of the Red Death. I would never had read that book otherwise.
I can’t help it! I like sad books!
I’m a 90′s kid so I always want to read books set back then. Supergirl Mixtapes and Jessica Darling are some really good ones.
Who doesn’t love road trip books!?

This week’s topic is: Top Ten Books I Thought I’d Like MORE/LESS Than I Did
1. Going Vintage by Lindsey Leavitt
I wanted to OMGLOVE this book so much, but it just didn’t happen. I really liked it, but I just knew I’d love everything about it. I was wrong.
2. My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick
This book just spoke to me. The cover is gorgeous, the summary sounded like my favorite kind of contemp, but it just didn’t do it for me.
3. Kiss Crush Collide by Christina Meredith
What got me with this book was that it was compared to Perfect Chemistry in an early blurb. It was like PC at all.
4. Naomi & Eli’s No Kiss List by David Levithan and Rachel Cohn
This one kinds of pains me to admit because David is one of my all time favorite authors, but I just couldn’t get into this one.
5. Second Chance Summer by Morgan Matson
It’s not that this one was bad, I just think after Amy & Roger my expectations were way too high.
I’m not a huge sci-fi fan, but I decided to give this one a chance after it showed up on my doorstep. I’m so happy I did!
I went into this one expecting to not like it. It didn’t sound like my kind of book at all. They ended up being favorites!
8. Confessions of an Angry Girl by Louise Rozett
Confessions was so much fun! I really don’t think it got enough love.
9. Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers
I don’t do historical but I do love me some fantasy, so I gave it a chance. It ended up on my favorites list.
10. Mostly Good Girls by Leila Sales
I have soooo much love for this book, but I hadn’t heard that much about it going in. I was so surprised by how much I loved it.

This week’s topic is: Top Ten Favorite Books I Read Before I Was A Blogger
1. Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
Yep, LOOOOOOVED it. Got me back into reading so I regret nothing. Honestly, I think I’d still looooove it if I reread it today.
A lot of these book were from my desperate search on BAM for something anything to read and love after I read Twilight. I’m not sure what made me pick up Prep, but I really loved it. I realize today that I probably really loved it because it reads like a YA.
3. Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson
I picked this book out of the Scholastic catalog in 6th grade (I think). It was one of the better decisions I’ve ever made. I devoured it and then reread it once a month for at least a year. It was kind of a life changing book for me.
We read this as a class in 8th grade and I was so blown away by it.
5. The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton
I never liked reading until The Outsiders was put into my hands. I owe this book so much.
6. The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova
Another postTwilightgivemeallthebooks read. It was quite the slog at first, but so worth it.
7. Speak Softly, She Can Hear by Pam Lewis
I found this book wondering BAM and I loved it. It has some bad reviews but I was utterly riveted by it.
8. Anita Blake Vampire Hunter by Laurel K. Hamilton
Oh Anita, how I loved you. A couple of these books were in my middle school library (O.o) That’s how I discovered and OMGLOOOOOVED them. If only they would have stayed that good.
9. The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen
Post Twilight search again. I found this on a contemporary YA endcap and then proceeded to read ever Sarah Dessen book out at the time. I never loved any of them as much as this one though.
10. Pet Sematary by Stephen King
Goodness, I loved this book so, so much. I went through a huge SK phase in my early teens. This one was definitely my favorite.

This week’s topic is: Top Ten Characters I Would Crush On If I Were Also A Fictional Character
1. Cricket Bell from Lola and the Boy Next Door
Oh Cricket, sigh. I just love him in all his boy next door nerdiness.
2. Jamie Fraser from Outlander
I think Jamie is probably the most swoonworthy fictional character I’ve ever read. If I walked through those standing stones and found him…I’d never go back.
3. Noah Shaw from The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer
Just add me to that list of girls that lust after him…I don’t think I’d want to get on Mara’s bad side though.
4. Peeta Mellark from The Hunger Games
Peeta is just the ultimate nice guy. I like nice guys!
5. Edward Cullen from Twilight
I can’t help it! If I ever ended up in Forks I would like the broody vampire too!
6. Cabel Strumheller from Wake
Cabel is one of those bad boys with an amazing heart. I could fall for that.
7. Ron Weasley from the Harry Potter series
Ron! How could anyone not crush on Ron. I adore him.
8. W.W. Hale the Fifth from Heist Society
Hale is super yummy. I want become an international thief with him.
9. Adam Wilde from If I Stay
Really, what’s not to swoon over. He’s in a band! And he’s angsty! And so in love with Mia.
10. Kaleb Ballard from Timepiece
If you’ve met Kaleb I’m sure you’re crushing over him too!
