Top Ten Tuesday # 27 (Classics I Wanna Read)

Since last week I didn’t do a TTT, today instead of sticking to 10 books I’m going to tell you about some classics I want to read (without sticking to 10)… there are some I will get to for sure since they will most likely be required reading for my different Uni courses but others, I’m just curious about. I will try to keep this short and simple…

Top Ten Tuesday # 26 (Books I Will Probably Never Read)

TOP TEN TUESDAY   is a weekly book meme hosted by   The Broke and The Bookish . I find the topic a bit harsh because, you know… never say never. It’s true there are millions of books out there that I’ll never read. A lifetime is not enough sometimes. I was gonna upload this straightaway after coming home from my doctor’s appointment but I decided to do a bit of a disclaimer. I’ve been reading tweets about how hateful this week TTT posts are turning out to be. First of all, we need to take into account the reasons why a certain person decides to not read a book. However, we also need to take into account that others can be hurt by our opinions. So, before getting down to business I wanna apologize if you like any of the books I’m gonna talk about. Neither the book nor the author will be bashed. My two main reasons to build up this list are: one, I didn’t like the first book in the series so I won’t be continuing it or two, I lost interest in it.

Top Ten Tuesday # 25 (Books which Feature Characters with Great Families)

TOP TEN TUESDAY   is a weekly book meme hosted by   The Broke and The Bookish . I had quite a few problems coming up with a topic for today’s TTT. My mind went blank and I could not think of a thing. And, being completely honest, I even thought about not doing a post today but I wanted to upload something so here we are. I don’t even have 10 picks. This is embarrassing….

Top Ten Tuesday # 24 (Favourite Authors)

TOP TEN TUESDAY   is a weekly book meme hosted by   The Broke and The Bookish . Today’s topic is a bit complicated for me; it’s sometimes easy to list your favourite books but not your authors. Or, at least, I find it hard sometimes. Most people consider an author their favourite when they’re read and loved all of his/her work. But I don’t follow that rule exactly. Let’s just say I read a book by a certain author and I love it… the most likely scenario is that that author would become a favourite which means I would try and track down his/her entire bibliography and read it. My list today features a few authors that follow that explanation: I’ve only read one of their books but it was enough to know I will follow their work. I hope this makes some sense. Without further ado…

Top Ten Tuesday # 23 (Characters I'd Love to Check in with)

TOP TEN TUESDAY   is a weekly book meme hosted by   The Broke and The Bookish . Have you ever finished a book and then wonder what would have been of those characters you either loved or hated after the novel ended? I do. Constantly. I love to day-dream about how the lives of those characters went afterwards. The possibilities are endless and so this week I’m gonna tell you my top 10 characters I would love to check in with.

Top Ten Tuesday # 22 (Books from my Childhood that I Want to Revisit)

TOP TEN TUESDAY   is a weekly book meme hosted by   The Broke and The Bookish . I know this is supposed to be a Top Ten Tuesday but I only have 7 books to talk about today. All of them are books I read during my childhood and some would say my early teen years (11-12) that I would love to re-read again for whatever reasons.

Top Ten Tuesday # 21 (My Spring TBR)

TOP TEN TUESDAY   is a weekly book meme hosted by   The Broke and The Bookish . Picking my top ten books on my spring TBR pile has proved to be a hard task. I wanna read ALL the books; if only time-turners were a thing. Where is McGonagall when needed? Anyways, Spring is my most hated season. People will find this outrageous but I suffer from hay fever and Spring can be a pain in the ass – I’m looking at you pollen, flowers and whatnot.

Top Ten Tuesday # 19 (My Favourite Books)

TOP TEN TUESDAY   is a weekly book meme hosted by   The Broke and The Bookish . This week on Top Ten Tuesday we can write about whatever topic we feel like to. It’s a freebie. YAY! Actually, not so yay since I practically fried my brain trying to think of a topic. After much consideration, I went for listing a few of my favourite books and why. If you’ve been following me for awhile, this list is probably not going to be a surprise because you’ll probably guess some of them. I talk about these books all the time, for a reason though: I FREAKING LOVE THEM!

Top Ten Tuesday # 18 (Top Ten 2014 Releases I Meant To Read But Didn't Get To)

TOP TEN TUESDAY   is a weekly book meme hosted by   The Broke and The Bookish . This week is all about those books that were published this past 2014 that I wanted to read but unfortunately I didn't get to. I'm just gonna basically list the books and that's it because the only reason why I didn't get to read them was lack of time, as always. Before getting into the nitty-gritty I wanna tell you first that for the rest of the month I won't be as active here as past weeks and when I mean active I mean visiting other people's blogs and commenting on their posts. In two weeks time I'll have my exams and I'm starting to feel a bit panicky because there is not enough time. Seriously. I'm gonna have a heart attack. I have all my TTT posts pre-written until February 10th so you can bet I'm stressed. I never pre-write anything! That said, I'll try to visit as many posts as I can when I have some spare time. So, bear with me please!  That sa...

Top Ten Tuesday # 17 (Most Anticipated Debut Novels for 2015)

TOP TEN TUESDAY   is a weekly book meme hosted by   The Broke and The Bookish . Although I wanted to make this a Top Ten Tuesday, a Top Five would have to do. Why? Well, when I was browsing Goodreads to come up with debut adult novels I couldn’t find a single list. or maybe I’m stupid and didn’t find one, which is another possible scenario LOL

Top Ten Tuesday # 16 (Top Ten Books I Read in 2014)

TOP TEN TUESDAY   is a weekly book meme hosted by   The Broke and The Bookish . I wasn’t initially gonna participate in this week’s TTT because there is still two weeks of December to go and maybe you can read a favourite in those two weeks but since I’m on a Reading slump (you can read all about it here) I thought why not doing the post anyways and here I am. Here are my top ten favourite books of 2014! One of them is missing from the picture though because I read it as an e-book and even though there are 10 books in the picture two of them are joined together. I’ll explain all in good time, don’t worry.

Top Ten Tuesday # 15 (Top Ten New-To-Me Authors I Read In 2014)

TOP TEN TUESDAY   is a weekly book meme hosted by   The Broke and The Bookish . This week I have to tell you all about my top ten new-to-me authors I read in 2014. Most of these authors have been writing for quite a while but I didn't know about them until now and I have to thank both the Book Blogging community and BookTube.

Top Ten Tuesday # 14 (Top Ten Books I'm Looking Forward To In 2015)

TOP TEN TUESDAY   is a weekly book meme hosted by   The Broke and The Bookish . This week is all about those books we are dying to get our hands on in 2015. There are so many books I wanted to feature but, only 10 could make it. Here is my list!

Top Ten Tuesday # 13 (Top Ten Books On My Winter TBR)

TOP TEN TUESDAY   is a weekly book meme hosted by   The Broke and The Bookish . Okay, so the topic for this week has been a difficult one for me mainly because I had a hard time choosing only 10 books. I assume we are talking here the entire Winter time (from Dec 21st to March 20th, right?) and so I hope I would read more than 10 books but you never know because January is my exam month and reading will not be a priority, more like a reward. So, intead of just making a list I decided to insert a picture of the books ^^

Top Ten Tuesday # 12 (Top Ten Sequels I Can't Wait To Get)

TOP TEN TUESDAY   is a weekly book meme hosted by   The Broke and The Bookish . This week is all about those sequels we can't wait the get (but I'm positive you knew that already with the title, duh? LOL). Anyways, today's post is gonna be short and not very much explanatory about why I chose these ten mainly because I'm doing this in a rush but for a few I will fangirl all over. I wasn't planning on doing TTT this week because Uni is getting quite extreme but then again, this is the only post I do no matter what so yeah, here it is!

Top Ten Tuesday # 11 (Ten Characters I Wish Would Get Their Own Book)

TOP TEN TUESDAY   is a weekly book meme hosted by   The Broke and The Bookish . How many times do we read books and find the side characters more endearing than the protagonists? I do, quite a few times. I don't know why but sometimes they are awesome and you just wish there could be more pages dedicated to them. I tend to daydream about their history before what happened in the books and about their fates later on. And I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who does this, right? RIGHT? You should know by now that I’m weird #SorryNotSorry So this week’s topic is all about those side characters you wish would get their own book. While making this list I had a few problems because saying the initial list was long will be quite the understatement. But, I managed to reduce it to ten! Without further ado, here it is:

Top Ten Tuesday # 10 (Ten Books I Want To Re-Read)

TOP TEN TUESDAY   is a weekly book meme hosted by   The Broke and The Bookish . Re-reading is, personally for me, one of the greatest pleasures of reading. Some don’t do it because why would you re-read something when there are so many books out there waiting to be read? However, it’s true as well that I don’t re-read every single book I read; only those that are special to me. Crafting this list was difficult because there are so many I wanted to feature here but only these next ten made it.

Top Ten Tuesday # 9 (Ten Characters I Want To Be For Halloween)

TOP TEN TUESDAY   is a weekly book meme hosted by   The Broke and The Bookish . This week TTT is all about characters we want to be for Halloween. It’s true most of my choices are hard ones. I mean not all of us are great dressmakers but still it would be fun to be them for Halloween.

Top Ten Tuesday # 8 (Top New Series I Want To Start)

TOP TEN TUESDAY   is a weekly book meme hosted by   The Broke and The Bookish . Hello yet again for another weekly fix of Top Ten Tuesday. This week's topic is about the top 10 new series I want to start. And for making this easier the series we can pick up can be 2 years old.  I do have to say that I cheated in one of them. The first book in this series was published in 2011 (three years ago) but you know, I’m still really excited to read it. Well, I’m excited to read all of them to be honest. And here we go:

Top Ten Tuesday # 7 (Ten Places Books Have Made Me Want To Visit)

TOP TEN TUESDAY   is a weekly book meme hosted by   The Broke and The Bookish . One of the many benefits of reading is the possibility of going places without really leaving your house, or well, the place where you read. And it is no secret books have the ability of making the reader want to visit places, whether they are real or not. Sometimes this can be frustrating for two main reasons: one, if the place does not exist you can’t physically visit it and two, if you are a broke Uni student you can’t afford to visit the real ones. Either way, it sucks. But anyways, at the end of the day I can still just grab a book and go everywhere. Cool, huh? And people say reading is a waste of time…
