Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

This week's theme:  Top Ten Spring TBR books
Here's a list of books I want to read in the spring - not necessarily ones that are published in the spring (although some of them are!). Just click on the covers to see their descriptions on Goodreads :)

 A lot of these are series that I'm really excited to start or books that have been on my TBR forever and I think it's time for some *Spring cleaning*

    I want to read Vicious SOOOO badly. I just finished The Archived yesterday so I'm in this weird post-book haze where I think that Victoria Schwab is basically the greatest thing since sliced bread. I plan on reading Vicious and The Unbound ASAP because wow.

    I've also been dying to read Half Bad because of all the hype I've heard about it. It seems like EVERYONE has been talking about it and I just want to form my own opinion so I can be informed and join in the conversations. :P

    Here's My Top Ten Tuesday!

    What's Half Bad about? I haven't heard anything about it but that cover is gorgeous... Totally mean to get around to the Left Hand of Darkness sometime too.

    Great list! I have Half Bad to read and Way of Kings too, can't wait to get my hands on Dreams of Gods & Monsters! I loved Left Hand of Darkness but it's been a long time since I read it. Hope you get to read them all soon :)

    My Top Ten Tuesday!

    I really want to read Mira Grant's Newsflesh series after i was disappointed with Parasite, i'm hoping that i enjoy that series more than the last. Dreams of Gods and Monsters and Half Bad also look very interesting and i cannot wait to read them both! Enjoy ;)

    Vicious is amazing! I vote you read it first. :)

    How could I have forgotten about Dreams of Gods and Monsters?! And I've heard really great things about Mira Grant and Scott Lynch's series.

    Yeah, Vicious is pretty far up there on my list! I haven't read anything else by Victoria Schwab, but I'll give those a try if I like Vicious.
    I've heard a lot of great things about Half Bad, and it seems like *everyone* loves it so I'm really excited to read it for myself.

    Half Bad is about a witch who is half White and half Black (white witches being the good ones, and black being the evil ones). He's an outcast and everyone expects him to be evil like his father, and the story is about him going on a quest and trying to prove who he is. (you can click on the cover to go to the Goodreads link - I'm sure it'll be more helpful than me!)

    Thanks! I still don't have a copy of Half Bad, but I'm very excited to read it.

    Awesome! yeah, I just read the original Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, so I'm excited to see someone else's take on it :)

    Yes for Ruins! I have it on my shelf just begging me to be read. There were too many books to choose from for today's TTT!! I want to read Brandon Sanderson's book, but I saw how many pages it is and I'll have to wait until I get some other books read. I hope you get to all your books soon!

    Half Bad is SO good! I cannot wait to hear what you think of it :) I just finished it last night and I want to talk to everyone about it! It felt very unique and different to me - so it was a very unexpected story.

    I'm also dying to read Vicious!

    I really liked Parasite (super predictable ending aside), so I'm looking forward to Newsflesh. Thanks!

    Vicious is definitely up there on my list - I've heard nothing but good things about it and it sounds awesome!

    That series just gets better and better (and more intense...) - not sure if I can handle Ruins but I'm still excited haha

    I've seen the Daughter of Smoke & Bone sequel on a few TBR lists today! I haven't heard much about the Partials novels but the covers are so intriguing! http://hollysreadinghollow.blogspot.com/2014/03/top-ten-tuesday-18-spring-2014-tbr-list_18.html

Way of Kings Readalong: Gender roles on Roshar

We've seen a little bit about the differences in what members of different genders are allowed and encouraged to do. I thought it was interesting how things like reading were entrusted only to women, since reading is how you gain knowledge (and power!), and it seems like the men were the ones who wanted all the power in this world. So here's a discussion post about the different gender roles and what some possible implications are. But first, a few words from Brandon Sanderson: I found this video on YouTube where Sanderson talks a bit about gender roles in history and in The Way of Kings. It's only a minute or two in the middle of the video (4:30-6:58), but I thought it was interesting. YouTube is being annoying and I cannot embed the video so here's a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqeKPBHquOg Gender differences on Roshar A table of some basic differences in genders: Men Women Can read glyphs Can read an...

Top Ten Tuesday 54 - Book to Movie/TV adaptations

Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by  The Broke and the Bookish . This week's theme: Top Ten Movie/TV show adaptations of books I've read Sometimes movies and TV shows do a great job of portraying the spirit of the books they're based on, and sometimes they really don't. Here are a few adaptations I loved and some that I felt were lacking. Great Adaptations 1. The Hunger Games/Catching Fire/Mockingjay       Stunning visuals, pitch-perfect portrayal of the characters, and just enough new changes to keep the movies fresh. 2. Harry Potter The movies captured the spirit of the books so well, and again, all the actors did an amazing job of portraying the beloved book characters. Some movies did better than others, but I'm generally really happy with these! 3. The Book Thief     I was really nervous about watching this because The Book Thief is one of my favorites. I shouldn't have been worried, because this movie captu...

Way of Kings Readalong: Wrap-up

So it's finally over. That was an amazing book! Thank you everyone for joining in and making my first readalong so much fun :) I have said over and over again that Brandon Sanderson is a storytelling god. This book makes me believe it even more fiercely - it takes a mastermind to create such intricate worlds and piece together so many character and plot threads. He does such a great job of feeding you just enough answers/revelations to keep you happy, but keeps you hanging by dangling all sorts of questions for you to answer. Not to mention the bombshells he throws in at the end... Having read Mistborn, I really should have been more prepared for disaster and mindblowing moments towards the end of the book. The end was just bombshell after bombshell - some were interesting revelations, and others were shattering. The bombshells of this week: 1) Navani proves that Dalinar's visions are real , and says his unconscious decoding of an ancient language will help pave the...
