Top Ten Tuesday #12: Best Sequels

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted at The Broke and the Bookish to highlight a top ten list related to book blogging, and to get to know fellow book bloggers. This week’s topic was suggested by me awhile back! To me, a really good sequel should take the themes and characters from the first book and advance them so much that you’re sort of knocked off your seats.  In no particular order: Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins – I can’t think of a better companion to Anna and the French Kiss – not only […]

Top Ten of 2012: Best Book Boyfriends of 2012 and ARC GIVEAWAY

Hi everyone, today’s list was one I was waiting for: my favourite book “boyfriends” of this year. As you all know, I’m a huge fan of YA romance, so I was really excited to share my list.  This year, though, I was a bit lacking in 2012 reads, and I didn’t love the boy characters in every book I read. Therefore, I’m cutting my list down to eight, and presenting you with my tightly curated list of swoonworthy boys this year.  Also, I have a huge, paranormal YA at the end of this post, so read on! In order of […]

Top Ten of 2012: Best Characters of 2012

Hi everyone, today’s list is my favourite characters from 2012 releases. This includes heroes, heroines, villains, contemporary, whatever. My criteria for this list is basically who I found most interesting this year psychologically… 10. Sunya from My Sister Lives on the Mantelpiece (Annabel Pitcher) – I have a thing about evil genius kids, and Sunya is one of the best. She’s a true star, an awesome kid who sees the best in protagonist Jamie, and makes the best of a terrible bullying situation.  9. Hannah from Bunheads (Sophie Flack) – I basically love Hannah because I love Bunheads – she […]

Merry Christmas to those of you who celebrate! For Christmas, I have some serious eye candy for you. Read on! Today’s Top 10 list is on the best book covers of 2012. To me, book covers have to do three things: they have to convey the sense, theme or story of the novel really well, they have to be instantly eye-catching, and they have to be targeted to the intended audience. Here are my top 10 book covers of 2012. Keep in mind that I may not have read all of these novels, but  these are books that fulfill my […]
