Excellent Reads

Today is the last week of one of my most favourite weeks in the book blogging community- the Top Ten lists of 2012! This year's Top Ten of 2012 is hosted by  Lisa from A Life Bound By Books ,  Jessica from Confessions of a Bookaholic ,  Jaime from Two Chicks on Books ,  Mindy from Magical Urban Fantasy Reads , and  Rachel from Fiktshun ! *In no particular order. Because... Seriously I don't know which I want more than the others* (Images property of owners) 1) "Isla and the Happily Ever After" by Stephanie Perkins: I love Stephanie Perkins, like, LOVE LOVE. I think that it's safe to say that I have a girl crush on her. Why? BECAUSE SHE CREATED BOTH CRICKET AND ETIENNE! So admittedly I have little idea what this book is about (and there is still no cover), but Ashley and I have BIG ideas (basically the above image- plus robots and each of the previous characters putting all of their various talents to use). 2) "The Indigo Spell" by Richelle Mead: With a...

Today is day three of my most favourite week of the book blogging community- the Top Ten lists of 2012! This year's Top Ten of 2012 is hosted by  Lisa from A Life Bound By Books ,  Jessica from Confessions of a Bookaholic ,  Jaime from Two Chicks on Books ,  Mindy from Magical Urban Fantasy Reads , and  Rachel from Fiktshun ! *In no particular order* ( Image Credit ) 1. Jace Wayland from Cassie Clare's "City of Lost Souls": This is a given. I don't think that Jace will ever not top my list of book boyfriends. He is the epitome of YA book boys IMO.

Adrian Ivashkov from "The Golden Lily" by Richelle Mead: I have been a Dimitri fan through and through, however, I have felt myself becoming more and more drawn to Adrian as Richelle's "Bloodlines" series develops more and more. Adrian made my heart a complete puddle with his confession in "The Golden Lily". ( Image credit ) 3. R from "Warm Bodies" by Isaa...

Today is day two of my most favourite week of the book blogging community- the Top Ten lists of 2012! This year's Top Ten of 2012 is hosted by Lisa from A Life Bound By Books , Jessica from Confessions of a Bookaholic , Jaime from Two Chicks on Books , Mindy from Magical Urban Fantasy Reads , and Rachel from Fiktshun ! Admittedly I had a lot of trouble coming up with what I consider to be the Top Ten Book Covers of 2012 (for some reason I can't think of a single cover that has really BLOWN me away, unlike in previous years)- therefore I decided to change things up a bit and make today's topic The Top Ten Book Covers of Books I've Read in 2012. *In no particular order* 1. "Easy" by Tammara Webber: If anyone knows this cover model or a guy like him feel free to send him my way! 2. "Fated" by Alyson Noel: While I wasn't an uber fan of this book I will keep it on my shelf solely for the cover. 3. "Illuminate" by Aimee Agresti: I am a su...

Today is one of my most favourite days of the book blogging community- the beginning of Top Ten lists of 2012! This year's Top Ten of 2012 is hosted by  Lisa from A Life Bound By Books , Jessica from Confessions of a Bookaholic , Jaime from Two Chicks on Books ,  Mindy from Magical Urban Fantasy Reads , and Rachel from Fiktshun ! 1) "Divergent" by Veronica Roth: I know, I know. I know what you are thinking, "Why is "Divergent" included on your 2012 list, Avery, when it was a 2011 book?" BECAUSE I AM A BOOGER- THAT'S WHY! Seriously, I had bought "Divergent" a few days after its release date in Summer 2011 and I didn't get to reading it until the beginning of this year- why? Mainly because I bought it solely because of the hype surrounding it, I literally had no idea what it was about (plus, I don't read synopsis') and I didn't think that it would really up my alley. WAS I EVER WRONG! After reading this book for the first t...
