This week's theme: Top Ten Childhood Characters to revisit as adults

To be fair, some of these characters have been revisited as adults but I just want to share more of their lives :)

 19063

Liesel Meminger and Max from the Book Thief. (And Rudy...*cries*)
25689074

Cinder, Kai, Cress, Thorne, Scarlet, Wolfe, Winter, Jacyn, and of course, IKO. I want to hear all of their stories :)
 9475

I loved this series as a kid - magical cats, evil great aunts, a magical school, and friends that last a lifetime. I'd love to see Charlie, Tancred, Lysander, Olivia, Emma, and the rest all grown up.
 249747

It's entirely possible that by book 7 (or 8?) Artemis Fowl is already an adult and I just haven't caught up, but Artemis Fowl captured my 4th grade self's imagination and I'd love to see what adventures he finds himself in as an adult. With Holly Short, of course.

Jack and Annie! The magic tree house books were my first chapter books when I was 6 years old, and I loved them. I imagine an older Jack and Annie would find more sinister adventures as they moved across space and time, but I'd still love to read them :)
 39988

Matilda is awesome. I think an adult Matilda would be so fun to read about, just imagine how badass she'd be!
 688191

Neal Shusterman books were my childhood. I guess I'd never really get to see "adult" Nick, Ally, Mary, and the rest, but I'd like to see them 10 years later :)
 17483

The Famous Five books were some of my favorites when I was really little. My mom read them when she was little so I guess there's that nostalgia factor too :) I'm curious to see how all the characters turn out when they're all grown up!
 589836

Coraline terrified me as a third grader, and probably would terrify me still. I'm kind of morbidly curious about how these terrifying childhood experiences might have taken a toll on adult Coraline...

Okay, this book isn't about a child or a book from my childhood, but definitely one I want to revisit with everyone 10 years older.

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...
