Books I Don't Rant About Enough || Top Ten Tuesday
hello! i'm linking up with the broke and the bookish to do top ten tuesday, which is a weekly meme all about books. today's prompt is ten books i really love but feel like i haven't talked about enough/in a while.
enjoy! :)
-The 5th Wave
i refuse to go see the movie adaptation of this because i've a.) heard it sucks and b.) tHIS BOOK IS ONE OF MY TOP FAVORITES AND I DON'T WANT TO SEE IT BUTCHERED ON SCREEN.
Cassie's snark gives me life, and though Evan is admittedly creepy as hell (it's part of his charm), i adore the crap out of him. I adore every character in the series, to be fair, and it causes me great pain to have to sit and read the torture that yancey puts them through. but i love the book nonetheless, and i think everybody should at least attempt to read it. there's so many deep underlying things and themes in it that i love, and i think it's so worth a try. i can't shriek about it enough.
-Entwined
because honestly this book is my everything. there's ballgowns + dancing + sisterly love + potato throwing + fiesty girls + magic. not to mention that it's a 12 dancing princesses retelling and it's just so splendid. i don't understand why more people haven't read this???
(not to mention that heather dixon is a dear and i adore her and she's pretty much my fave author in the world. SHE DOES CARTOONS AND BLOGS AND DISNEY ANIMATION LIKE)
{because badlands is basically the throne of glass soundtrack}
{and i'll forever find some way to shove a vinyl picture into 95% of my posts}
-Queen of Shadows (or the Throne of Glass series)
i'm in the minority of bloggers when i say that i loved this book, and heir of fire as well. so many people said that they hated how celeana had changed/how "rude" she was but i somehow found all of her actions either justifiable or not as extreme as others were talking about. (maybe i read a different book??? idek.) that and i loved manon (my smol fierce child) + anything to do with the ironteeth witches
i was always doomed to disagree with others from the start, though, with my intense dislike of chaol kale.**
but yES. THIS BOOK. I LOVE IT AND I'M SO EXCITED FOR EMPIRE OF STORMS.
**why do people like him?! why?! i don't get it.
-Inkheart
my childhood can pretty much be summed up by this book. it's the only book i think i've ever fully reread, and my copy of it is extremely well-loved. i don't talk about it a lot, because it's so special to me, and it'd likely just end with me gaping and flailing my arms. there aren't words to really do it justice.
-The Lux Series
i'm a sucker for romance, sassy characters, paranormal/fantasy elements, and humor. the lux series has all of that, and it is perfection. i literally can't get enough of these books, and katy + daemon give me life. ❤︎❤︎❤︎
(also the covers are sparkly??? and b/c i'm five i wave them around constantly in the sun to watch them sparkle)
Others Include:
to all the boys i've loved before// shiver// the queen's choice//
aLL THE MARA DYER// the book thief// sinner// i'll give you the sun//

What are some of your favorite books? What's your favorite book cover/cover style? And most importantly-- do you think sparkly book covers should be a widespread thing?
(the answer to that is yes. jk)
i hope you all have a lovely morning/day/evening/night. don't forget to smile, because you're lovely. ^-^
stay street, stay alive. |-/
and because it is ye fateful day...
a thank you to the men of my chemical romance, for all that they did. <3
{i'm off to go cry now}
EXCUSE ME BUT OMG YOUR PICTURES ARE BEAUTIFUL. And also your waaaaall that is covered with photos...omgggg. #goals Ahem. So now that I've screeched over that, hehe, this was a really fun post! I have to admit I'm like entirely opposite in all your opinions of Throne of Glass, but hehe, I shall shush now. And omg I want to see The 5th Wave movie quite badly. AND I need to read the rest of the series. :O And I want to read the Lux books and Entwined and basically...everything. I need to work on this. XD
ReplyDeleteI also highly think there should be more sparkly books in the world. Honestly, why aren't there?? Why is the world failing us like this???
Thanks for stopping by @ Paper Fury!
AHHH THAT MEANS SO MUCH COMING FROM YOU. I ASPIRE TO TAKE PICS AS GOOD AS YOU ONE DAY.
Deletethank yoouuuuu. it took forever to do, and it's still got a little left undone but i'll finish it one day. xD
thank you!!
there really should be more sparkly books. surely there's got to be something we can do to make them a widespread thing. the world. needs. sparkly. books.

INKHEART. INKHEART YESSSSSSS. I love that book so much haha lol.
ReplyDeleteYes, sparkly book covers should happen more often. (Although I'm basically a tomboy/ music lady, I'm a bit of the sparkles type of girl WHOOPS.) xD
it's so good. <3
Deleteah, glad you agree!! and haha, i get it. i'm the same way. but you can't go wrong with sparkly book covers, no matter who you are. ;)

AH I LOVE TOP TEN TUESDAYS. They're so fun :D
ReplyDeleteINKHEART MY SOUL. My favorite one was Inkdeath though. AND THE COVERS ARE DIVINE. Am I the only one who had a (not-so) small crush on Dustfinger?
THOSE LUX COVERS LOOK MAGICAL OMG.
Ellie | On the Other Side of Reality
SAME SAME SAME. they are! ^-^
DeleteTHE COVERS ARE SERIOUSLY GORGEOUS. dustfinger, oml. tbh he was probably one of my first massive fictional character crushes. <3
THEY ARE AND THE BOOKS THEMSELVES ARE GREAT TOO.
