Antonia’s Top Ten Tuesday: Book Titles as Crayon Names

by Classy x Book Reviews2 Comments on Antonia’s Top Ten Tuesday: Book Titles as Crayon Names

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. This week’s topic is Book Titles That Sound Like They Could Be Crayola Crayon Colors (Take a moment and Google some of the crazy Crayola crayon colors that exist. Can you think of any book titles that sound like they could also be a crayon color? It might be fun to include a description of the kind of color you’re picturing.)

Stardust by Neil Gaiman – I’m thinking a silvery gray.

The Outstretched Shadow by Mercedes Lackey and James Mallory – A really dark gray.

Heart of the Sea by Nora Roberts – A deep blue/teal.

Inferno by Julie Kagawa – A fiery red/orange.

Brighter than the Sun by Julia Quinn – A super bright yellow.

I had so much trouble with this week’s topic so I’m sticking with top 5. What colorful titles did you come up with?

Concrete Rose by Angie Thomas
I could see this as a deep dark red.

Whichwood by Tahereh Mafi
Maybe a pretty brown?

Phoenix Extravagant by Yoon Ha Lee
Gold, like a yellow/red of a fire.

The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern
A deep blue, like the sea.

Radio Silence by Alice Oseman
Grey like tv static.

Foul is Fair by Hannah Capin
What’s a good color for revenge?

The Shadow Glass by Rin Chupeco
Something dark, like a deep blue or dark purple.

Starry Eyes by Jenn Bennett
Deep blue, like the night sky.

Neverworld Wake by Marisha Pessl
Black or grey.

The Serpent King by Jeff Zentner
Green, definitely.

Antonia’s Top Ten Tuesday: Books I’d Throw in the Ocean

by Classy x Book Reviews4 Comments on Antonia’s Top Ten Tuesday: Books I’d Throw in the Ocean

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. This week’s topic is Books I’d Gladly Throw Into the Ocean (submitted by Beauty & Her Books). Now I’ll happily DNF a book I don’t like so most of these are going to be books I liked but that gave me so many emotions I want to throw them away.

Fallen by Lauren Kate – I seriously hated this book.

A Dog’s Purpose by W. Bruce Cameron – I loved this book but literally cried my way through the entire thing.

Year One by Nora Roberts – Another one I loved but that left me with so many emotions.

The Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan- The. Ending. Killed. Me.

Ogre Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine – I liked this book well enough for most of it but the ending completely ruined it for me.

Nights of Rodanthe by Nicholas Sparks – This was one of the first books that ever broke my heart.

Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls – This book killed me when I read it as a child. It was devastating.

Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger – I was one of those weird kids that actually enjoyed reading for school except for this one. Definitely one of the worst books I’ve ever read.

Burned by Ellen Hopkins – I loved this book until the last few pages ripped my heart out and stomped on it.

Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J. Maas – Something that happened toward the end of the book left me feeling like a zombie. I cry every time I read it.

What books would you want to throw into the ocean? (But not really because of course we would never disrespect books like that.)

Amanda’s Top Ten Tuesday – Books I’d Throw into the Ocean

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Each week we talk about our top ten with a different topic provided by Jana. This week’s topic is books that I’d gladly throw into the ocean.

The City in the Middle of the Night by Charlie Jane Anders
The ending of this book made me want to throw this book into the ocean.

The Roanoke Girls by Amy Engel
I hated the twist. I want it to disappear forever.

Vox by Christina Dalcher
While I did enjoy this one, it made me so angry I absolutely would drown it.

Girls with Sharp Sticks by Suzanne Young
Again, I think I liked this book. But it made me so angry.

Finale by Stephanie Garber
I really didn’t like the second book or this book. I would definitely get rid of it via the ocean.

A Madness so Discreet by Mindy McGinnis
I did not like this one at all.

Wilder Girls by Rory Power
The ending totally ruined the book for me. I’m not a fan of abrupt endings with little to no aftercare.

Horrid by Katrina Leno
This is the same as Wilder Girls. I was left with so many damn questions after the last page and I don’t like that.

The Thousandth Floor by Katherine McGee
There were so many icky things in this book. So, goodbye, into the ocean you go.

These are the books I would sacrifice to the ocean with no regrets. What did you choose this week?

Keep on reading lovelies, Amanda.

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. This week’s topic is Places in Books I’d Love to Live in.

A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas – Now obviously I don’t want to live in Prythian during the war, but I love the magic in this world.

Seven Devils by Laura Lam and Elizabeth May- Again, I’m just pretending the bad stuff doesn’t exist. I want to live on a spaceship and travel to cool planets whenever I want.

The Awakening by Nora Roberts- Honestly I’d just settle for living in Ireland but I’d also love to go to Talamh, filled with faeries, dragons and all sorts of other magic.

Winter by Marissa Meyer – Yes! Let’s live on the moon!

Skyward by Brandon Sanderson – I’m not sure I’d like living in caves but it’s still a planet other than Earth where I can fly spaceships. (Seriously, it doesn’t get cooler than spaceships.)

I could only come up with five this week. What bookish places would you want to live in?

I’d love to be a Grisha. But not while the Darkling was alive.

A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
In case you didn’t know, I’m secretly a Summer Fae. But don’t tell anyone.

Early Departures by Justin Reynolds
As hard as it would be, I’d love to live in a world where I had the option to bring a loved one back to life, even if it’s only for a short time.

The Final Six by Alexandra Monir
While I definitely don’t want to see a future where Earth is destroyed because of climate change, I absolutely want to be one of the astronauts to be first on a new world.

Furthermore by Tahereh Mafi
This world sounds like so much fun. And all of the other magical towns sound just as fun.

The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern
Hi, I want to travel on the Starless Sea. That is all.

Artemis by Andy Weir
I also want to live in a dome on Mars.

The Never Tilting World by Rin Chupeco
While this world does sound incredibly dangerous, the magic is so cool that I’d still want to live there.

Scythe by Neal Shusterman
Aside from the fact that humanity has conquered death, I can only imagine what other cool things exist in this world.

The Disasters by M.K. England
Really I just want to live somewhere that has space travel. Is that too much to ask?

What books have placed you’d want to live in?

Keep on reading lovelies, Amanda.

by Classy x Book Reviews2 Comments on Amanda’s Top Ten Tuesday – Keep or Unhaul

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Each week we talk about our top ten with a different topic provided by Jana. This week’s topic is a Spring Cleaning Freebie. I’m going to share ten books or series that I want to reread so I can decide if I should keep them or unhaul them. I have a few series that I’ve had for a really long time and I don’t know if I love them like I did when I first read them. So, I’m going to reread them and find out.

Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder

The Angel Experiment by James Patterson

Eon by Alison Goodman

The Young Elites by Marie Lu

Incarceron by Catherine Fisher

Inkheart by Cornelia Funke

Graceling by Kristin Cashore

Zodiac by Romina Garber

Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige

Gameboard of the Gods by Richelle Mead

These are books that I want to reread to see if I still love them. I am trying to make sure that my collection of books that I have on my shelves are all books that I really love and enjoy. So, there are some series and books I haven’t read in a really long time and I don’t know that they need to hold space on my shelves anymore. That’s one of my goals for 2021 (especially since I have to move two different times in the next year). So, what did you do for this weeks freebie?

Keep on reading lovelies, Amanda.

I know that being a bounty hunter isn’t nearly as fun as this, but damn I want to be torn between Ranger and Morelli.

Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant

The main character narrates audiobooks and I would love to do that for a job.

The Space Between Worlds by Micaiah Johnson
An alternate reality astronaut.
