Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten Instant Buys

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


This week's theme: Top Ten Books you'd buy immediately if you had a fully loaded giftcard


Well, this TTT was perfectly timed because I got an amazon gift card as a graduation present and I finally redeemed the code this weekend, so here are the books I want to buy ASAP! I may also be counting on a time machine to get me into the future so I can get a few books, but that's just a small detail...

 28260587

I NEED THIS BOOK. I can't believe how much I've grown to love this series considering how little I liked the first book, but one thing's for sure, this is one of my most anticipated books of this year!
 8074907

This is one of my most anticipated books ever. I think I pre-ordered it last spring because it was supposed to be published last fall? But IT'S FINALLY COMING AND I NEED IT NOW. 
 

I liked but didn't love Red Rising, but the second and third books were AMAZING. Definitely books I want to get my hands on.
 

I loved the first two books of this series, and it's just been getting better with every book so I'm really excited to read book 3!

I loved the Rogues anthology (what can I say, I'm a sucker for rogues, cons, and thieves in my books), and I also really love badass women so I am really excited to read this one :D
 22544764

One of my favorite books of last year, and I can't believe I don't already own it!
 23299512

VE Schwab is a goddess and I need to read her latest book!
 28862254

None of my lists are complete without a Sanderson book, right? :D
Super excited to see how Sanderson's worldbuilding and unique characters translate in a graphic novel format.
 6597651

This is one of my favorite books, and I read it 4 years ago but I've been terrified to re-read it because I'm a little nervous I won't love it as much now as I did when I read it. Maybe time to find out?
 

This isn't a book, but I want to get into reading comic books! I never really read comic books as a kid and I kind of wish I had, but I figured it's never too late to start. One of my friends suggested Captain Marvel so I'm gonna look into that!

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
