I was cleaning out my TBR list and I found at least ten authors I really want to read this year. I may or may not have read some of their works before but I do have multiply books on my list that I am scheduling for this year.
#10 Jaymin Eve
I have read a few series written by this author. I have at least five or more books of her’s on my TBR that I plan tackling. The first one is her series Secret Keepers. I even own the first book.
#9 Celia Aaron
Of course I have her on my list. I have read many of Aaron’s works and I sort of fell behind on her newer books that came out in the last year or so. I think the first book I’ll tackle is The Maiden.
#8 G. Bailey
Another awesome writer that I have read before and have several series on the TBR. Bailey is an author that I’m up in the air about when it comes to books. I either love them or I don’t.
#7 K.F. Breene
I have only read one series by this author that I have yet to finish. I need to finish it and I have a few others listed. Of course planning to finish the Darkness series first and foremost.
#6 Patricia Briggs
I had the courtesy to read this author last year and fell in love with her series Mercy Thompson and Alpha & Omega. I plan to finish those as soon as I can. Once I get my butt back to the library to pick up the next books.
#5 Elle Casey
I’ve read I think two books by Casey. I loved both books. I have several more on my kindle and even more on my TBR. I am hoping to pencil her in this summer if I’m not extremely busy.
#4 Jane Washington
Washington wrote a couple books with Eve that I have read and even read a series by just her. Now I have another that is just hers and want to explore her writing more.
#3 Steven Erikson
I have Gardens of the Moon in paperback form at home. I haven’t read anything by Erikson so I don’t know his writing style. But I am super excited to get to his book because I’m trying to branch out my fantasy reading. At Barnes and Noble I saw Gardens of the Moon and added it to my pile.
#2 Madison Faye
My go to author for smut. If I need a good smutty story Faye is the first one I go to before Alexa Riley. I am falling behind on reading her books and need to catch up.
#1 Brandon Sanderson
I have had Mistborn series on my list for a long time. Well this weekend I bought the first two books and plan on diving in as soon as I can. I am probably going to hate myself when I didn’t by the first three books in the bundle. I just know it.
What author are you wanting to read this year?
What would topic would you like to see next? Comment below or send a message.
I haven’t done one of these in a while. Maybe same time last year. I need to do more. So what better way to start the first one of the year with male characters that made me drool over the course of 2018.
The men on this list are from the books I personally read instead of any new books that came out in 2018. Reminder I said drool worthy, not book boyfriend. These men are book boyfriend material for some but for me not so much, I’ll be standing in the corner drooling instead. The men may have done things that make them not qualify for book boyfriend. As warning I will be talking about male characters and what made them drool worthy so there will be spoilers.
#10 Volker/der Mittenachtsjager (Midnight Hunter by Brianna Hale
Volker is on East Berlin and he has caught a woman who was trying to escape to West Berlin. She catches his eye and he holds her captive. In the end he gives up his position and comfortable home so they could be together in the end without the pressure of East Berlin breathing down their back.
#9 Victor/ Mr. Black (Chapter 8 duet by Ella Dominguez)
Victor plans chapters in his life. He lets them willingly sign a contract that allows him to abuse them in anyway he sees fit. But chapter 8 ends up being someone he didn’t plan on finding out about him and being to stubborn to care on how much he humiliates her.
While he is an abusive asshole we can’t help but love his twisted dark side and how it came about from a woman who ended up shredding his heart in the process.
#8 Trey Coleman (Feral Sins by Suzanne Wright)
Trey doesn’t want a mate. So when he hears that Taryn needs out of a arranged mating he strikes a bargain with her. Only they do turn out to be true mates.
Trey can turn feral and it’s not pretty. But in the end he will protect Taryn who is ever bit alpha as he is.
#7 Charles Cornick (Alpha &Omega series by Patricia Briggs)
Charles is his father’s enforcer. He doesn’t ask questions and knows if his father needs him, then it’s important. When he meets his mate Anna, he finds out she was forced into turning and has endured torture from her former alpha. An alpha who Charles kills. He waits patiently for Anna to make the first move so not to spook her or make her feel forced into something she is not fully ready.
#6 Ivan Lukov (From Lukov With Love by Mariana Zapata)
Ivan and Jasmine have been in at each others throats since they were little. Ivan secretly has always liked Jasmine. Jasmine thinks she has always hated Ivan and the same as he felt to her. At the end they finally get together and Jasmine realizes Ivan wanted her to be the best she could be since the beginning.
Ivan doesn’t have the best communication but no matter what he’ll be there for Jasmine.
#5 Jake Dunn (The Dark Light of Day by T.M. Frazier)
If you have read the King series by this author, you know of Jake and Abby Dunn. This is their story.
Jake is such dark perfection. His and Abby’s story is one of my favorites from Frazier.
Only thing that made me not have Jake on book boyfriend is the fact he didn’t listen to Abby about her being raped. He heard from someone else that she was with another guy and immediately he believed. Bad Jakey.
#4 Nikolai Kotova (Amour, Amour by Krista and Becca Ritchie)
Nikolai is Russian, speaks Russian, takes care of his siblings in place of his parents, and is a lead acrobat in Las Vegas.
He meets our heroine in a night club the night before she auditions for the show he is in.
Though Thora does not make the show he helps her with her training to become better so she may audition again. While this is happening, a relationship between the two blossom. By the end when her audition comes up, Nikolai makes Thora promise him that no matter what she will put her dream before him.
#3 Liam Mattison (The BearPaw Resort series by Cambria Herbert)
I love Herbert’s writing. Hashtag series will be my forever favorite. So once I saw her with a new series out, I had to try it.
The BearPaw Resort is the closest I have fallen in love with characters since the Hashtag series. What’s even better is that she wrote a cross over novella called #Vacay. Haven’t read it yet but it is on the list for this year.
Liam’s dad runs the BearPaw Resort. When he was sixteen/seventeen he met the girl of his dreams only to have his heartbroken. Eight years later Bellamy shows up and is in big trouble.
Not once did anything Bellamy did or said deterred him from making sure she didn’t leave without a trace once again. Even if the meant taking on an avalanche to save her from mob men.
#2 Joe Goldberg (You by Caroline Kepners)
Speaking of this I heard there is a TV show out now. I don’t know if I will watch it.
Joe makes the list because of how well written he is. Our lovely little psycho stalker made me want him to be with someone else. I thought he could do better, hell he even did better with a nurse if I remember correct. But no our man had to be obsessed over one of the most self centered, manipulative women I had the pleasure to read about last year.
Even while Joe does one horrible thing after another to try to win the attentions of Beck, I couldn’t help but feel for the guy. He knew she had flaws. Pointed them out but still he obsessed with her.
Poor Joe.
#1 Lucifer (Se7en Sinners series by S.L Jennings)
Lucifer… Lucifer… Lucifer…
Lucifer is the only one on this list who isn’t a hero/anti-hero of the story.
This series was a total roller coaster for me. I personally think Eden should have ended up with Lucifer not Legion.
During the series Lucifer has his loving moments but that doesn’t stop him from being what he is, the devil. He takes no shame and he does not hide his cruel side from Eden. He is one of my favorite portals of the devil character in books/movies. (a list I might make later)
The fourth and final book in the series made me question myself because like Eden the feels were there.
How his story ended makes me wonder if there will be a spin off.
Who was drool worthy for you?
This year already seems like it might be more of a reread year but I have read a few new books. We’ll see what the rest of it takes us.
We all have a list a mile long on what works for us and what doesn’t work for us in books. What got me thinking about what I DON’T like in books is an email from another about yet another billionaire book. So I decided that this week’s top 10 is going to be aspects or tropes that a writer has in their book that grind my gears.
10. Billionaire
As you may have guessed I don’t like the billionaire trope. Every now and then it’s okay but it seems more and more smut books have the billionaire aspect.
I hate that they write about this. Oh and apparently along with the billionaire aspect is another trope I don’t like which moves on to…
9. Hero is distant do to abuse or broken hearted
The hero has to be in control of every situation due to having been abuse or had his heart broke. Also due to this the hero has commitment issues and dabbles in the world of BDSM. I’m pretty sure not all billionaires are like this.
8. Mental or Physical or Emotional disablity/illness
While on subject of abuse how about a disability or illness for plotline. I’m probably in a boat alone or with someone who hates this trope. The one that is mostly over used is the rape trope along with depression/anxiety trope.
7. Magic Peanie
Most the time this is associated with #8. Girl was raped and doesn’t trust any man. Few years later she meets the “one” and his magic peanie cures her paranoia, depression, trust issues, ect.
6. Mother and/or Father hate MC
I am so tired of this one. A mother and/or father puts their feelings before MC’s. I’m not saying this isn’t realistic. I’m just saying I would like to read more books where the parents want their children happy. Especially the mothers. Because I’m starting to think authors have mommy dearest issues.
5. Huge peanies
Apparently all men are hung like horses according to descriptions. (If any of you know of a book that a man is actually average size please leave it in the comments) I mean some of these men sound like just the head alone could do some major damage.
4. Slut shaming/ mean girl bashing
Oh I hate when an author has a MC hate the “it” girls because they are mean but doesn’t show that they are mean. I also hate slut shaming. So what a girl has been with several men. So what? Let her be. Men aren’t the only ones who can have commitment issues or just don’t want to settle down.
3. Intsa love
Don’t worry I will put this trope on here. Good ol’ insta love. The only time I am okay with this is when it’s fantasy and there’s soulmates. Only time I am perfectly okay with insta love. Oh and in short smut books. The ones that are like 60-100 pages. Other than that if a book is 200 pages and longer I want to see the build of that love.
2. Hero is a total player
Ugh! This one is a big one. The hero is a total man whore till he meets HER. I like when heroes aren’t in every girl’s bed before he gets with the heroine.
1. Heroine not confident or is viewed meaek
I love strong confident heroines. Even ones who are secretly confident in themselves. I hate when a girl is viewed as always needing the hero or her best friend to stand her battles for her. It irritates me to no end.
Okay so I was thinking to myself last night that I haven’t done a top 10 in a long time. Well guess that means it’s time to start this up again. What’s a better way of getting back into the grove than the things I wish authors would put in their books. Now some of these may be in books but I haven’t read those yet.
10. heroines that are under 5′
Most books I read the heroine is 5’2 or taller. I am exactly 5′. I have to climb on to counter tops to reach the second to top shelf. If I want to reach the top shelf I have to full stand on said counter. I want to read those struggles. And of course instead of the hero helping the h he laughs at her. Why? Because that is what happens at my house. That’s why.
9. Bigger boobs
Another genetic problem I have. The dreaded DDs. Yeah that’s right, I’m a Dasiy Duke. I hate how heroines complain about having small boobs. Oh boo hoo. You know what you get with big boobs that you don’t get with small boobs? Back pain. Boobs getting in the way of everything. Not finding the right size shirt because while your waist is tiny you boobs aren’t and you look like a mutant or anime. Oh let’s not mention the cost of bras because Wal Mart and Target don’t carry your size and you have to go to expensive places such as Victoria Secret.
8. Cuddle scenes
I want more cuddle scenes! Yes I love my sex scenes but I want a more intimate moment. Or a little more realistic scene such as watching tv and sitting at opposite ends of the couch with feet meeting in the middle. The part where they play awkward footsie tag till they get their legs situated and his foot is damn near kicking her crouch because he has longer legs and her’s legs meet his knee caps because hello short.
7. Periods
I know, gross, but it’s a very natural occurrence that doesn’t pop up in books. How about the heroine gets her period with hero while on a date and have to be embarrassed? I know I’ve done that before. Or started period at work and the day ends up crap so heroine goes home to a jar of peanut butter?
6. Pigging out
Heroines getting her grub on. I need a heroine that she wants to be alone with a book and junk food. Not all of us are eating healthy or health nuts who watch ever intake. Some of us get our grub on and I would like to see that more.
5.Day to Day activities
What I mean by this is a normal routine. I know reading about a morning routine is boring but I wouldn’t mind knowing the character at least brushed their teeth. Or forget their book while going to the bathroom and now has to read the back of a shampoo bottle. Or even run out of toilet paper.
4. Beyond quirk attitude
I tend not to have many friends because people don’t get my humor or don’t know that I am joking 99% of the time. I also have a tendency to say jokes at the wrong time. Wouldn’t be so bad to have a heroine like that. Just saying.
3. Realistic sex scenes for virgins
I’m really tired of reading virgins taking their first time like a champ. No. sex for the first time is awkward and painful for a girl. Even if it is with someone you love it still hurts. And enough of said virgins never giving bjs before suddenly can win an Olympic gold medal in the act. No that doesn’t happen. I’ve read one book where the hero coaches what to do and what he likes and I loved it.
2. Realistic Peanies
Come on authors not all men walk around hung like a horse. Just saying. I want the hero that looks at the heroine and say I’m not big. I’m not the greatest, but you will walk away pleased. Or some bull hockey like that.
1. Heroes talking about books with heroines
Hello, we are bookworms. We need at least one guy on our book boyfriend list that reads and loves talking about books.
Is this to much to ask for? What’s something you wish authors would put in their books?
Tomorrow is my anniversary with my fiance Wy. We have been together for four years. This is the longest relationship I’ve ever been in. He gets my weird sense of humor, mostly because he’s just as weird. Last night I found out that we talk about some of the most peculiar topics. We also do things that new couples would just jaw drop.
10. Pop back pimples.
I know disgusting right. But I’m so comfortable with Wy that I will pop his back pimples. He works at a manufacturing company here in small town Kansas. It’s not a big place and the warehouse is a metal frame. In the summertime it gets hot! Wy tends to sweat like human beings do. Because of this natural phenomenon he gets back pimples bad. So I just tend to be the good fiancee that no money can buy and pop them for him.
9. My books
Whether I’m writing a story or I am reading a story, I tell Wy about it. You should have seen his face after I told him what happened in It. Wy doesn’t read. I know I know, horrible, but I can talk with him about spoilers and he doesn’t care because he won’t read the book and I can vent to him about books I hate or love.
8. Rubs my feet.
I don’t even have to ask anymore. If I put my feet in Wy’s lap even if I just do it while reading my book on the couch not meaning to, he will pick them up and start massaging away. I’m not complaining.
7. 10 points
This one is horrible messed up thing we do while driving. Our sense of humor is dark sometimes (okay most the time) which is probably why we don’t have very many friends. While driving if we see a squirrel or a jogger we joke 10 point, 20 points. Now we would never do that. But we do joke about it. Why? Because we have f#cked up minds.
6.Games
We are a gaming couple. We will play games together. Mostly zombies on Call of Duty. But when I’m sitting down reading or writing he will play one of his games. We have all of the PlayStations but the first generation, a Nintendo 64, a Nintendo 3DS, and a bunch of board games. I learned not to beat him at Monopoly. Tends to cut me off for a week.
5. War
I come from history nerds. Wy loves to talk about war and guns. So we tend to talk about the different wars and what guns they use. Don’t watch a war movie with us because we will let you know what Hollywood got wrong all the way down to what guns they are using. We also tend to talk about what a bullet does on impact and what caliber can blow someone’s arm off. Don’t judge. Like I said before, dark f#cked up minds.
4.Movies
I’m a huge movie nerd. I love movies not as much as books but still. Wy doesn’t watch as many as I do but will still challenge me to trivia games which he will lose unless it’s Forest Gump.
3. Shooting guns
Wy and I fully believe in the 2cd amendment. We own 6 guns together and are still buying two more. We will go to the shooting range and let off some stream on targets or clay pigeons.
2. Hunting
Living in the state of Kansas, we hunt. I know not all people believe in hunting but Wy and I do. I may lose some followers after admitting to this but I’m not changing my ways. This is just a way we provide meat for us to cook.
1. A hug
Once I get off work I know I can go home and expect a bear hug from Wy. No matter if it’s a good day or a bad day I can guarantee on a hug.
It’s these simple things that we share that has gotten our relationship this far. People may judge our weirdness but we will always have each other.
We all have these guys. While reading a book you can’t help but shake your head at the heroine who takes these dirtballs back. The men I am about to list come from only books while the ones from movies will have their own list. Don’t worry I will be making a list for women as well. Some of these men even come from books that I have rated highly but that doesn’t mean that the guy isn’t a total d-bag.
As I will be taking about why these guys are like this, I will be giving away plot points whether they are major or small. Soo…
10. Brently King, King by T.M. Frazier.
While I do love this book, I wouldn’t have taken King back. Doe walks in on King getting head from another woman after they have a connection moment. Doe storms to the dock where Bear gives her a way out from King. King then comes to find both together just about to kiss. King pulls a gun on Bear telling his best friend that he would shoot him if he touches “his girl”. As Doe tries to run away King catches her. They have an argument which then turns into hot, angry, claiming sex. I don’t know about you but I wouldn’t have forgiven ol’ Brently so quickly. (I’m trying to figure out if I’m spelling his name right.) Let’s not forget the fact this is the guy holding Doe for a debt that her hooker friend’s mistake.
9. Andrew, Reasonable Doubt series by Whitney G.
Andrew is a full blown asshole. He treats Aubrey like shit at first. Aubrey makes him work back for it. But still this man would have made my shit list if he did this to me.
8. Kona, Thin Love by Eden Butler
Kona has a huge temper. I thought his and Kiera’s relationship was rather toxic. Even after years past and he didn’t want anything to do with her until he sees his son, he still gets doubts in his mind out Kiera and his twin brother which never happened. Oh and there was the issue with steroids.
7. Jared, Bully by Penelope Douglas
After one summer with his dad, Jared comes back and ends up being a complete ass to Tate. Though she didn’t do anything wrong, Jared still treats her horribly. When their senior year comes around they start to give in to their attraction. I’m sorry but if my best friend came back and was a huge ass to me for four years, he wouldn’t even be a blip on my relationship radar.
6. Dominic, Dominic by L.A. Casey
Dominic and Bronagh’s relationship reminds me a lot like Kona and Kiera’s. These two are really immature, but Dominic tends to be to cocky and at times treats Bronagh as his personal toy.
5. Caulter, Prick by Sabrina Paige
Well it is in the title. Caulter treats his heroine like a sex toy. He’s arrogant and self centered. There really isn’t much to say about him. To me there wasn’t much to his character.
4. Lucas aka “Bo”, Complicate Me by M. Robinson
Pretty much through this whole book, Lucas puts Alex on the back burner and sleeps with almost every girl in town because their friends and family keep getting in the way. Reason why Lucas is up high on this list is because even though he said he loves Alex, he decided to let everyone from the outside control their relationship instead of being a man and saying there is no other girl for me but Alex. Did he do that? No.
3.. Alejandro Martinez, El Diablo by M. Robinson
Martinez is known as El Diablo. What he really should be known as is El Estúpido. Martinez treats Lexi horrible and yet she still wants him. After everything he puts her through, no way would I take him back.
2.. Reed Royal, Paper Princess
So far Reed is one of my top Assholes. He treats our heroine like total garbage because of where she came from. He’s pretty much the spoiled rich boy that everyone tends to hate. Not to mention when he gets into a relationship with Ella he then sleeps with his dad’s ex which Ella walks in on. Reed is the typical arrogant jerk who only cares about himself.
1. Hunter, Wanderlust by Skye Warren
This guy takes the cake. Hunter kidnaps Evie. Holds her against her will. Rapes her repeatedly. When she can finally escapes, he finds her again. Hunter takes her to the police station where he has a written confession, but instead of turning him in, Evie forgives Hunter and ends up marrying him.
Who is your number one guy you wouldn’t take back?
Hey everyone! How is you 2017 going so far? Can you believe we are half way through March? Where is the time going?
Anyway I was thinking this morning, while I went over my daily routine, that I love quotes. Love them! I have an app on my phone that sends me daily quotes and I also get an email from Goodreads of the day’s daily quote. Not to mention that I love looking through books for amazing quotes.
Here are my top ten favorite from all over. Some are from books while others are from people or my daily quote app.
10. “You are your own problem, but you are also your solution.”-John Burk
I follow a guy on instagram and snapchat named John Burk. He is an Army veteran who owns his own clothing company and is in the fitness world with Integrity Driven. He is an awesome guy and one of his quotes the other day will not get out of my head. He was saying to the people who think the world is their biggest problem and that it’s the reason life is shity, “You are you own problem, but you are also your solution.” Makes perfect sense. Only we can control were we want are life to go. We may hit bumpy roads but we must learn from those bumps and help it grow us into a stronger person.
9. “You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore.” William Faulkner
I really do love quotes like these. I am a very firm believer in leaving the past in the past and focus on the present. Sometimes holding on to the past is very unhealthy. Other times it is the reason why you are in a rut. Just let go. Now letting go does not mean forget. It means that the past won’t way you down anymore.
8.”I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be” Douglas Adams, The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul
I like this one because it is a way of saying “Shit happens and Life has it’s own agenda.” Many events happen in our lives that we don’t plan out or want to happen but sometimes we need these events to happen to help us become stronger person. A better us.
7. “When I was a kid, I learned the hard way how expensive the truth was. Sometimes it cost you people in your life. Sometimes it cost you things in your life. And in this life, most people were too cheap to pay the price for something as valuable as honesty.” Mariana Zapata, The Wall of Winnipeg and Me.
This is one of my favorite quotes of all time. Most people say that they are an honest person, which I don’t think is true. We don’t tell people how we really feel about them. I think it’s better to tell the truth which is why I don’t have a lot of friends because I tend to just let my mouth talk before thinking of a nice way to say something. I have learned to just keep my mouth shut because sometimes my advice is a bit cruel and sometimes when I say something to simply say it, people take it as an insult when really I’m only stating an opinion.
6. “People make the rules of society, not God.” V. C. Andrews, Flowers in the Attic
I’m just going to leave this one here.
5.”Numbing the pain for a while will make it worse when you finally feel it.” J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
It’s better to face things now than to bottle it up and let it fester.
4. “It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all- in which case, you fail by default.” J.K. Rowling
We have to make mistakes in order to grow and move on with life. The biggest failure in life is never risking something because you’re to afraid. So you failed at something. Big deal. You found out what didn’t work now go and figure out what can. You just helped yourself eliminate one possibility. That brings you that much closer to success.
3. “Don’t think or judge, just listen.” Sarah Dessen, Just listen
I found out the hard way that I shouldn’t judge. The few friends now are the ones I use to judge and think they were either mean girls because they looked a certain way or was a loser because my so called “friends” didn’t like this person. I let other people control the way I looked at something or someone. Now I make my own decisions. Sometimes it’s better to just take a step back and look at the big picture.
2.”It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.” Andre Gide, Autumn Leaves
Just like the last quote, just be yourself. It’s better to be true to yourself no matter what people think. There are two sayings that I grew up on. 1. It’s better to have four quarters than a 100 pennies. 2. Those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.
1.”The right kind of love is supposed to bring out the best in people. It adds to your life, fills in all those gaps you didn’t realize where there.” Cambria Herbert, #Rev
Find the person who brings light in your life. If you don’t life will be negative. Relationships can turn unhealthy. It’s better to live alone than to be with someone who makes you hate yourself.
If you know any inspiring quotes or your favorite quotes feel free to leave them in the comments.
Have a great rest of the week. Don’t get to wild on Saint Patrick’s day. Remember to always have a DD or if you don’t drink offer to be someone’s DD and help save lives.
Right now I have been in the biggest mood for YA Fantasy. Last year I mostly read New Adult and Erotica. I’m a little burnt out on those genres. So this month I am reading YA Fantasy. I was thinking that it would be a good time to count down my top ten YA fantasy. (Note: I haven’t read a lot of YA Fantasy in a while and some that are popular right now I have yet to read.)
10. A Shade of Vampire by Bella Forrest
Granted I did stop reading this on book 8 I did get to book 8. I stopped reading this because the series seemed to go on forever with over 20+ books that seemed to have almost the same plot over and over just different scenes and a bit of twist on the ending. Granted even though this happens it was still pretty catchy.
9.Precious Stone Trilogy by Kerstin Gier
This was a compelling trilogy. It kept me hooked till the very end. The story was very original. I’m not one for time travel but this one was worth it.
8. Pulse by Kailin Gow
Still currently reading, a vampire Octavious has found his love of life but she has the magic to cure him. Unfortunately he is not the only one who knows this and he has to make a choice to stay away and be a vampire to protect her. It’s adorable in it’s own unique way.
7.Vampire Diaries by L.J. Smith
When I was younger I had a love for vampires that grew to this day. Most of my books were vampire books. This series being one of them. (Also due for a reread of these.)
6. Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick
I am a sucker for fallen angels. This was the book series that got me on the path of such angels and demons. Along with the Fallen series.
5.The Unearthly series by Laura Thalassa
What’s worse then finding out your a siren from a complete stranger?? Finding out that you’re the devil’s destined mate. This series was gripping. Loved it. Might reread sometime soon as well.
4.Vampire Kisses by Ellen Schrieber
I started reading this series when I was in junior high. I loved it. Raven was my all time favorite heroine because I was a lot like her. Still one of my favorites.
3. The Captive series by Erica Stevens
A great story of Vampires ruling the world and humans as their slaves. Not all though are slaves, some are rebels who want to end the vampires one and all.
2. The Morganville Vampires by Rachel Caine
My favorite vampire series to date. I love Claire and Shane. Another series I need to reread.
1.Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling
My all time favorite is Harry Potter. I always feel at home when I pick this up.
These are my top ten. But they might change as time goes on.
Well it is a new year. I have put aside 10 books that I want to read throughout the year. I already have had these books on my TBR list for awhile or they are coming out this year and I want to read them.
10. Flowers in the Attic by V.C. Andrews
I am actually reading this one right now. I have been told on countless occasions I need to read this series. Well for those of you who have recommended this to me, you can now sleep in peace knowing I finally took your advice.
9. Dracula by Bram Stroker
This has been on my list for way to long. I got it for Christmas two years ago (wow that is weird only two days ago it was a year.) I haven’t picked it up but I am going to this year.
8. Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
Same goes for this one as Dracula. These two books need to get read.
7.The Handmaid’s Tale by Margret Atwood
Like Flowers in the Attic I have been told I need to read this one. Well I have it and will start currently reading it soon. I really don’t know how I will feel after this but it is worth a shot.
6.Hoax by C.L. Stone
This is the new book in the series of The Scarab Beetle. I got it last year but I am needing to go back and reread the other books before I can start this one. I am also hoping by the time I do get to this one the next one will be out already.
5. The Hero by Donna Grant
I had bought this with Christmas money. I saw it and thought yeah I want to read. I am hoping to get to this in the near future. I am shooting for February.
4. Last Call by Michelle G Miller
Another book that has been on my TBR list that I have and just haven’t picked up. Seriously need to clean out so many books.
3. Rosemary’s Baby by Ira Levin
Again another book that has been on the list for a while. Only I don’t have this book. I am still trying to find it but every time I go to the library I get distracted. I will find this and read it.
2. Everything for Her by Alexa Riley.
This came out right after Christmas. This will be Alexa’s first full length novel. I bought it and can’t wait to get into it. Unfortunately I have a few more books to read before I can get to this gem.
1. Black and Green by C.L. Stone
I have been waiting for this book for awhile. The publish date has changed twice now. I am needing this book. I just finished the Ghost Bird series again and I need this one!!! The cliffhanger at the last one kills me. I need to know!!!
We all watch movies and think I want to drive that car. Same goes for books. For me I’m always looking at the cars plus if it comes with a hot actor, the car gets even better. If I could rent any car from Turo (if you need a rental, check them out) theses would be my top ten.
10. 1970 Pontiac GTO from The Faculty
For those of you who are horror fanatics, you have seen The Faculty and most importantly Zeke (Josh Hartnett) and his sexy as ever GTO.
9. 1971 Chevrolet Monte Carlo from Fast and Furious 3
If you are seeing a pattern for muscle cars, that’s because they are my weakness. Even though Sean’s (Lucas Black) car looks like a clunker, really it is a beauty. Sadly it has to be next to that ugly little red convertible.
8. Rolls Royce from Iron Man
If I had to have a, as I call them, “rich person’s” car, it would be the Rolls Royce. I mean look at the beauty.
7. &6. Both mustangs from the book series #GearShark
I am drooling right now. I wouldn’t mind having either of Drew or Trent’s mustang even though I’m not a big Ford fan.
Even though this movie is extremely weird, I love the cars in it. So sexy!!! Especially that Charger.
3. Dodge Charger from The Fast and The Furious
Yes another charger. What can I say they are the car I love from Dodge. I’m not a big fan of the Fast and Furious movies, but damn they do know their cars.
2. Chevrolet Camaro from 2 Fast and 2 Furious
Yes I would choose the Camaro before the skyline. It is way better looking.
1. ’77 Pontiac Firebird from Smokey and the Banditt
I had an ex who loved this movie. I can’t blame him. The car is Oh My Goodness!!!! I choose this as my #1 because it is one of the first cars I wanted to drive. It hasn’t changed at all.
What are your top cars from movies or books that you want to drive?
