Top Ten Tuesday - Book Problems




 Top Ten Tuesday is hosted over at  The Broke and the Bookish. This weeks topic is: Ten Nine Book Related Problems I Have (could be serious or fun!) and I have chosen to stick with the fun side because I don't have any serious book problems. Here they are in no particular order.

- Everything is my bookmark, except a bookmark =\

- When I see a store with books in it I force my family members to go in and have a look for sales. Actually, I guess that's their problem not mine haha.

- Each time I upgrade my bookshelf I think I will finally have enough room to properly display all my books, only to find out that once again that I've failed. Problems is that I can't stop buying books.

- I CAN NOT resist a booksale.

- The oh so dreaded paper cut (ouch!).

- When my ereader battery is about to die and I'm not finished reading yet :0

- Those times when I have to hide out in the laundry room to finishing reading an exciting chapter, so I won't have any interruptions.

- Waiting on sequels (I don't think I need to elaborate on this one).

- Cover Changes because it is such a pet peeve when my covers don't match after a mid series change.

Top Ten Tuesday - What I Dislike About Romance Novels.





 Top Ten Tuesday is hosted over at   The Broke and the Bookish Romances aren't really my thing anymore. I went threw a huge faze when I was a teenager, so I think I've got my fill. However, every so often I do get that inkling for something mushy. There are unfortunately a few things that turn me off of the genre, which leads me to This weeks Topic:

Top Three Things I Dislike When It Comes To Romances.


- Insta Love

 I can't stand it when characters conveniently and unrealistically fall madly in love within the first few chapters. I much prefer to read how they fell in love over a period of time.

- Repetitiveness

  It all starts to bleed into the same thing eventually. Boy meets girl, they fall in love, have a fight, fall back in love. Then they get married and have babies. At least this is my experience with adult romances.

- Cheesy Covers

 The #1 thing I dislike the most about romance novels are that the majority of them have the most horrid covers. This is also something I've mainly noticed with adult romances.

Top Ten Tuesday - My Winter TBR






 Top Ten Tuesday is hosted over at   The Broke and the Bookish This weeks Topic is: Top Ten Eight Books On My Winter TBR. The reason I only went with 8 even though my actual TBR is a much higher number, is because I really want to stick to these particular books. As I've mentioned before in my discussion post DoYou Cheat On Your TBR? I have a hard time sticking to my list, so wish me luck =)



1. Soulprint by Megan Miranda
 The premise of this book is something I've never read before, and I can't wait to start it.

2. The Body Electric by Beth Revis
 I have been waiting for this author to release a new book for years. I'm happy I was approved for this on NetGalley.

3. Blood of Olympus by Rick Riordan
 After I wrap up all of my books for review, this is the first book I'm going to read.

4. City of Heavenly Fire by Cassandra Clare
 I've been putting reading this book off. I have the best intentions of getting to it over the Christmas break.


5. Fairest by Marissa Meyer
 As soon as this comes out, it's mine!

6. Out of the Ashes by Lindsey Fairleigh & Lindsey Pouge
 I've been looking forward to reading this, but somehow it keeps getting pushed down the list.

7. Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken
 I've had heard fabulous things about this series.

8. Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor
 I bought this book months ago! I've heard such wonderful things about this series. I need more hours in the day so I can just get on reading it already.
