Top Ten Tuesday (#5) - Top Ten Books You Wish Were Thought In School

Top Ten Tuesday is Hosted @ The Broke and The Bookish

This Week's Topic:
"Top Ten Books You Wish Were Thought In School"

1.) Divergent by Veronica Roth - It honestly feels like this book is a classic! There is so much to learn from Divergent like bravery, courage, etc teachers should be teaching these types of books. Plus, it has a kick butt heroine and tons of action with romance. Love Divergent!

2.) Everyday by David Levithan (or any of his other books) - David Levithan is a true to honest author. He nails every contemporary perfectly, and Everyday is an example of one. If this was thought at school, people would value life so much more.

3.) The Fault In Our Stars by John Green - *Mind goes crazy* John Green is such a brilliant author for writing this book, it's wickedly smart and engrossing. If my English teacher gave me a John Green book, I'm a happy camper!\

4.) Speechless by Hannah Harrington - I think Speechless will hit home to everyone no matter what. It's about a girl using gossip to spread a juicy rumor about a series topic and vows to take an oath of silence. It was poignant and real. 

5.) Grave Mercy by Robin La Fevers - If I was handed Grave Mercy to read for history, I was be mind blown. The book was amazing and so in depth, I really would like to see a more in depth history of the era the novel takes place in! :D

6.) This Is Not A Test (or any of Courtney's books) by Courtney Summers - I love Courtney Summers, and This Is Not A Test is why. I love the emotionality and realism in her writing and in the story, it's a real eye opener! P.S Dying to read her new book!

7.) Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi - *Dances* *Cries* Dances again* If I were to read Shatter Me at school, it would be amazing! I think there a lot of things you can learn from a book if it was thought at school. Plus, there would be some Team Warner and Team Adam hype!!

8.) 13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher - 13 Reasons Why is such a must have on this list. It was one of the most ground breaking books I read a while back, and I still love it a lot. It's talks about suicide  which is a series topic for teen, and I think it would really give students something to think even after. 

9.) Rival by Sara Bennett Wealer - I really loved Rival and it's one of my favs of all time. Rival is of course about rivalry between two girls and I can see it being something relatable to teens in school who could read it. 

10.) Any Classics - All the classics are a great book to teach at school, after all they are the classics and we still read them today. Why not throw it in? :)

Now..What's On Your Top 10?

Top 10 Books When You Need Something Light and Fun:

The Hex Hall Series by Rachel Hawkins

I love love these books and Rachel so much! Sophie is such a fun character and she has spunk and wit that makes you laugh! There's enjoy fun and suspense for a light read :)

Rival by Sara Bennett Wealer

This book is so amazing! The rivalry and competition between two girls in this book was off the charts! I LOVED this! Pick it up if you're a fan of rivalry and music.

The Fine Art of Truth or Dare by Melissa Jensen

The first time I picked this one up, I feel completely in love with it! It has tender characters, an ease, and is just a fun book to pick up!

Pretty Crooked by Elisa Ludwig

Where do I start with this one?! I loved Pretty Crooked! It was a mix of modern day Robin Hood that was actually done well in my opinion! I so can't wait to pick up the next one soon...if I have time..which I hope :)

Bloodlines by Richelle Mead

There is no wrong picking  a vampire book for this right? Well if there isn't, Bloodlines is a great light and fun read! Sydney Sage, the main character is so fun and hilarious, it's such a treat picking this book up!

Belles by Jen Calonita

Belles is one of those reads those reads you devour in a sitting, which I completely did! The writing was fast paced and I love the characters including the plot line.

The Selection by Kiera Cass

The Selection by Kiera Cass was those types of books that has such an awesomsauce cover that makes you pick it up the second your eyes are dead set on it. Pick this one up, no need to say anything more!

The Name of This Book Is Secret by Pseudonymous Bosch

Even though this is not a YA title, I love this series so much! It's witty, exciting, and such a classic I always read the whole series every year. 

The Look by Sophia Bennett

One of my recent reads a while back, The Look was a one seat devourer! Everything about it was perfect and I so can't wait to see what Sophia Bennett has in store in the future :D

Anything by Sara Dessen :)

Now..what's YOUR Top Ten Tuesday? :)

Top Ten Tuesday (#3): Beach Reads!

Top Ten Tuesday Is Hosted @ The Brooke And The Bookish!

Today's Theme is: Beach Reads which I super excited to share since its summer is here! Hope you get inspired by my great Beach Reads you could pick up! :D

Top 9 Beach Reads I'd Recommend (In no specific order)

The Selection by Kiera Cass

The book was flat out funny at times, heart breaking, and fluffy! I would so re-read The Selection again since it was a quick and great read!

Anna and The French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins

I have yet to read Stephanie's books! *walks away* I know, I know you saying why the heck are you recommending it then? Well with all the hype on about it being the Perfect Beach Read I had to recomend it! It looks so cute!

The Fine Art of Truth or Dare by Melissa Jensen

I completely liked The Fine Art of Truth or Dare a lot! It was funny, sweet, and full of laughs! It's the perfect read to kick start your summer :)

Rival by Sarah Benneth Wealer

I loved this book so much! It was one of my top reads last year after picking it up at the library randomly. I loved the characters, the rivalry, and everything! I can tear through this book really quick! It's about a girl and another girl who used to be best friends till the popular one back stabbed her in front of everyone, the rivalry sparks and you'll be blown away!

Bloodlines by Richelle Mead

I love this book and Richelle Mead! Sydney Sage is an alchemist, a group of humans who dabble in human and vampire affairs to keep the gap of their existence safe. Sydney protects Jill, sister of Lissa(remember her? From VA?) posing as humans in a boarding school, action, love, intrigue, and laughs make it a great paranormal read!

Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher

13 Reason Why by Jay Asher was one of the most poignent and heart-wrenching book I ever read. Hannah Baker, a girl whom everyone thinks is normal is wrong. She commited suicude and she leaves tapes for each person who was a reason why she wanted to end her life. I loved the whole idea and Clay and Hannah's POV were perfect, no doubt. :)

Amy and Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson

A road trip book is ideal for that beachy, summery read you need. And for Amy and Roger's Epic Detour it was perfect. I DNF the book, only stopping at page 40 but still the story, mood, characters where so real and I need to read this! :D

Reunited by Hilary Weisman Graham

Reunited is that type of book you just want to read and be absorbed by the story. And Reunited is a road trip book just like above. It's about 3 girls ex-besties whom are all reunited for one road trip that brings them closer to each other with just 3 tickets. I'm really looking forward to reading it!

Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins

Ooh Rachel! You are a amazing writer I feel in love with last summer when I picked up Hex Hall. Sophie Mercer and amateur witch is sent to Hex Hall a school that trains her kind to harness her powers. But a threat turns to shape Sophie's future and her kind. It's super witty, snazzy, and funny! You'll laugh no matter what, guarantee! :)

Divergent by Veronica Roth

Divergent was a thrill to read! It's amazing and awesome all at the same time and since it was similar to The Hunger Games, which kick start my summer I had to put Divergent here! No doubt it was my fave of 2011 and it will blow you away! Read it and find out for yourself if you haven't! Which you probably have....0.0

That's my Top Ten Tuesday, What's Your Top Ten Tuesday?

The Top Ten Heroines I loved in the YA Fiction Gerne

  <- Sophie Mercer from Hex Hall by Rachael Hawkins.

1.) I absolutely LOVED Hex Hall and Sophie Mercer!! She was funny, sarcastic at times, relatable, and such a perfect strong,witty, kick-butt heroine!! :) Please read Hex Hall if you haven't because Sophie and the book won't definelty disappoint you!!! =)

 

2.) Katniss from The Hunger Games by Suzzane Collins  ->

Who could not have Katniss in a YA Reader's List of Top Heroines??? She a strong, smart, quick-on-her-feet person, and is one of the most powerful and strongest Heroines I discovered when I started reading YA Fiction!! Everything about her~an archer, she's living in a horrible society, and two boys falling for her, Katniss delivered it all and definelty read the Hunger Games!!

 <- 3.) Schulyer Van Alen from Blue Bloods
I aboslutly love Schulyer Van Alen! She's just awesome and a character deserving to be on my list! She's the type to be in the backround and over-shadowed by Mimi Force but she comes out strong and kick-butt, in the next books following Blue Bloods!

4.) Tris from Divergent by Veronica Roth ->

Tris was my newest heronine I loved, after reading Divergent by Veronica Roth. She's quick-on-her-feet, really thinks about the choices she makes, and a strong..strong heroine! Absolutlely great!! :)

                                                                                                  

<-  5.) Tally from Uglies by Scott Westerfield

The goody Tally really connectted with me! She just wants to be with her bestfriend, Peris but he turned into a pretty and Tally is next in a few months, then she mets Shay causes Tally's goody attitude to disappear and change into a rebellious,knowing,strong, loving character most people love reading Scott's Book!
