This week's theme is Popular Books That Don't Attract Me.

You can join HERE!

So, My Top 5 Popular Books/Series That Don't Attract Me are:

#1 - Twilight Series

 

 

 

#2 - 50 Shades Trilogy

 

 

 

#3 - Beautiful Disaster

#4 - Forbidden

#5 - Going Too Far

 

 

Sometimes I have this bookish intuition that I won't like a book, and the few times that I haven't followed it, I really regretted it, because then I wished I followed my gut and never read that book. So, according to my intuition, I won't like Twilight, 50 Shades, Going Too Far & Beautiful Disaster, so yeah, I'll never read them. As for my reasons for Forbidden, well, I don't want my heart to be torn to shreds, and I don't think I can knowingly go into a book like this & with this theme, it doesn't attract me, and to be honest, I really, really don't want to, so that's why.

So, My Top 5 Reasons Book Blogging is Awesome are:

#1 - Discovering New Books & Authors.

I mean sure, you can only read reviews on blogs, and discover new books & authors by following recommendations, and not blog yourself, and although I've discovered lots of new favs by this, I can't even say how many books & authors I've fallen in love with that I've received eARCs of for review, and I probably would've pass up not knowing what I've missed, so yeah, book blogging is the best for discovering new books & authors! 

#2 - Meeting Book Bloggers with Same Reading Tastes, as well as Bloggers from All Around the World.

You know who I mean, those bloggers that you can totally trust their book recommendations, because you love or don't like the same books, and you can always gush with them for your favorite books!

I absolutely love that there are book bloggers from all over, and I love chatting with everyone about books, I mean, how awesome is that? So, yeah, I absolutely love the bookish blogosphere!

#3 - Book Reviews.

I love reading book reviews, especially when I should decide if a particular book is a book I'd enjoy, so the many different reviews that can be found around the blogosphere are often helping me to decide.

#4 - Sharing My Love for the Books I Love.

I'm still reviewing books only for fun. When I read amazing book, I want to share with everyone how amazing it was, and to gush about it, and to recommend it, so other people would fall in love with it, too. I also love reading reviews of books I've read, and than sharing my thoughts with the reviewer, especially when we feel the same about the reviewed book!

#5 - Reading Challenges, Read-a-Thons, Read-a-Longs, and other bookish online events.

I actually started blogging because I wanted to participate in reading challenges, and even years later I still love them. Also, soon after I started blogging, I discovered read-a-thons, and now I'm a read-a-thon addict, they're just so much fun. The latest thing I got hooked on are read-a-longs, this started only a year ago, but yeah, I love them. I also love the other themed events the book bloggers host, they're always lots of fun, too!

This week's theme is Books That Made You Cry.

You can join HERE!

So, My Top 5 Books That Made Me Cry are:

 

 #1 - The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

 The Book Thief is probably the book that had made me cry the most EVER! I had to stop reading it so I can calm myself & continue the book.

#2 - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling

Although some of the other HP books should be listed here, too, the one I cried the most (and I cry every time I re-read it) is the last book.

#3 - A Witch Alone by Ruth Warburton

 A Witch Alone is the last book in the Winter Trilogy, and it was amazing & so, so heartbreaking, and emotional, so I couldn't stop the tears, so I totally bawled my eyes out while reading it.

#4 - The Fury by Alexander Gordon Smith 

Surprisingly, The Fury was quite the heartbreaking rollercoaster ride, that totally made me cry again & again.

#5 - Rot & Ruin + Dust & Decay by Jonathan Maberry 

I couldn't choose only one of these books, so I had to include them both. Jonathan Maberry made me cry at the end of both of these books, so I've been reluctant to read the 3rd book since then, because I've been afraid of more heartbreak, but I'm hoping to get to it soon, and then to read the last book, too. 

Although there are adult books that have made me cry, unexpectedly it seems I've ended up with YA list ;)

This week's theme is Favorite Book Series Titles.

You can join HERE!

Ok, so because I had trouble narrowing down to only 5, I'm totally going to cheat & choose 4 adult & 4 YA book series titles ;)

So, My Favorite Book Series Titles (in no particular order) are:

The Adult:

I love this title, both for the way it sounds, and because it was perfect for the series.
 

The same goes for the Lords of the Underworld, I love the way it sounds, but I love even more that it's the perfect title for the series.

Ok, so, to be honest, I've read only the 1st book & the prequel so far, so I don't know how perfect this title is for the series, although so far it seems fitting, but from the moment I saw it, I loved the sound of it, so of course it's on my list.

And of course there's this one, which of course is another perfect title for the series.


The YA:



All 3 books in this trilogy are happening on the Morpheus Road, and the road itself plays a big part, so I love both the sound of it, and how perfect it is for the trilogy.




Another title I loved from the moment I saw it. It's absolutely perfect for the trilogy, and doesn't it intrigue you?




Ok, so this trilogy could've totally be named Everlost as the first book, but I'm actually glad that it's titled Skinjacker, because it was perfect for the trilogy, and nothing could've happened without the skinjackers ;)

And I love the sound of this title, too. And it doesn't hurt that it's quite fitting for the series ;)
