Top Ten Tuesday 24 - characters that I want to be my BFFs

Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.
This week's theme: Top Ten Characters that I want to be my BFFs
Ten more days to enter my 1-year blogversary giveaway of Mistborn and an amazon giftcard!



1. Sazed from Mistborn - I could relate so much to his love of learning and books. Sazed is a quiet character, and I could relate to not wanting the attention but still being driven and wanting to accomplish things. He's so loyal and is such a great friend to Vin, always putting the needs of other people above his own












2.  Jean Tannen and Locke Lamora from the Gentleman Bastards series - Jean and Locke are my latest fictional crushes, and they have such a great friendship that I want to be in on it too. They pull all sorts of insane heists and manage to survive deadly situations on an almost daily basis, and it's because at the end of they day they've always got each other's backs.



3. Iko from the Lunar Chronicles - Iko is always so cheerful and brings out the best in everyone around her. I would love chatting with her - I'm usually such a logical, down-to-earth person that I think it would be nice to talk about random fluffy happy things with her :)
4. Bartimaeus from the Bartimaeus trilogy - This guy was one of my favorite characters as a child. He was so snarky and full of himself, but he also had a soft side deep deep down. By the end of the third book, I was amazed at how much he had changed. The ending was so heartbreaking but it makes me want this djinni to be my best friend even more!
5. Rudy from The Book Thief - Rudy is so adorable! I wish I'd had a childhood friend like him - someone I could race with and steal books with.
  
6. Zuzana from the Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy - Zuze just says the greatest things! She makes the most bleak situation seem a little more hopeful, and she's so wonderfully stubborn. Who wouldn't want a "tiny rabid fairy" as a BFF?
7. The Bagshaw twins from Heist Society - these guys may be minor characters, but they always make me laugh when they appear. They are always together, and always joking around, even during the most intense parts of a heist. Even if they're hardly ever serious, they definitely look out for their family and take care of their own.
8. I guess this one is cheating because he isn't from a book but the movie is based on a folktale so it kind of counts, right? Olaf BE MY BEST FRIEND.

    LOVE the fanart you found of Sazad. I never really imagined what he looked like, but this interpretation is nice.

    I'd highly recommend Mistborn and the Gentleman Bastards series if you like fantasy - they're both excellent series!

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

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 captured t
