Top Ten Tuesday #32 Favourite Book To Movie Adaptions

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme from The Broke and The Bookish that allows users to share their top choices of the topic of the week!

This week was a freebie, so I decided to talk about my favourite movies based on books, because I do love movies as well :) 

1. The Maze Runner by: James Dashner 
I enjoyed the movie better than the book (gasp!) 

2. The Fault in Our Stars by: John Green 
Everything from the cast to the soundtrack was amazing. 

3. If I Stay by: Gayle Forman 
This movie really got me obsessed with Willamette Stone, (even though they don't exist in real life *sobs*)

4. Insurgent by: Veronica Roth 
There's been a lot of debate to this movie, but I loved it and thought that it was so creative! 

5. The Great Gatsby by: F. Scott Fitzgerald 
Leonardo DiCaprio was everything I imagined Gatsby to be and more. 

6. Mockingjay by: Suzanne Collins 
This Part 1 was soooo much more interesting than the book in my opinion. 

7. Life of Pi by: Yann Martel 
I recently just finished this book and watched the movie and it was so beautiful and emotional. 

8. The Outsiders by: S.E Hinton 
Don't even get me started on the cast for this one... amazing. 

9. The Perks of Being a Wallflower 
Logan Lerman was an incredible Charlie, and I found that this movie stayed true to the book. 

10. Harry Potter by: J.K. Rowling 
The heart and soul poured into all of these movies was insane. 

What book to movie adaptions do you love?

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme from The Broke and The Bookish that allows users to share their top choices of the topic of the week!

I've never met an author before, but it's one of my dreams. Here is everyone I want to meet.

1. John Green
He is so hilarious and has written some of my favourite books.

2. Rainbow Rowell
We could just fangirl about Harry Potter together.

3. J.K. Rowling
I'd probably just be in awe that she's really standing in front of me.

4. Jennifer Niven
I just want to thank her fro writing such a beautiful book.

5. Stephen Chbosky
Perks impacted me in a way I'll never forget.

6. Veronica Roth
I could talk about Divergent for hours with her.

7. Gayle Forman
To meet the author behind one of my favourite characters in YA would be amazing!

8. Kiera Cass
I would probably just gush about how amazing The Selection was.

9. Jenny Han
Every book from her, I've loved.

10. Suzanne Collins
Kind of a weird pick, because The Hunger Games wasn't my favourite series, however it was the first YA book that I read, so I feel like she started it all for me.

What authors would you love to meet?

Top Ten Tuesday #30 Books I'll Probably Never Read

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme from The Broke and The Bookish that allows users to share their top choices of the topic of the week!

It's always great to do a positive top ten tuesday, but sometimes you've just go to get those negative feelings out. Here are books I don't plan on reading: 

1. City of Heavenly Fire by: Cassandra Clare 
Partly because it's so long, and partly because I DNF'ed the series after Lost Soul's. 

2. Les Miserables by: Victor Hugo 
I put this on my TBR, but I'll probably never get to it because it's more than 1000 pages long and re-watching the musical is fine by me. 

3. After Series by: Anna Todd 
It's simple: I DNF'ed the first book after months of trying, and I don't have any intention of starting again. 

4. Girl Online 2 by: Zoe Sugg 
This second book in the series does not have a title yet, but I don't think I'll read it because I found Girl Online to be very cheesy and cliche. 

5. Throne of Glass by: Sarah J. Maas 
A lot of people have recommended this book to me, but I'm not really into YA fantasy all that much. 

6. The Hobbit by: J. R. R. Tolkien 
This book is just too overly descriptive for me, that it just becomes boring. 

7. The Chronicles of Narnia by: C.S. Lewis 
There's just something about this book that draws me away from it everytime I pick try to read it. 

8. Unravel Me by: Tahereh Mafi 
I'm not entirely against the series, but it's just not my priority and there was nothing really special about the series to me that I must keep reading. 

9. The Death Cure by: James Dashner 
It took me so long to get through the first two books, I think I'll just watch the movies instead. 

10. The Kane Chronicles by: Rick Riordan 
I loved his Greek Mythology books, but I think I'm done with mythology now. It gets repetitive. 

What books will you probably never read?

Top Ten Tuesday #29 Books With Characters Who Are Role Models

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme from The Broke and The Bookish that allows users to share their top choices of the topic of the week!

With this top ten tuesday, I wanted to write about characters who can have such a positive influence on readers, as a motivational character can be the best thing about a book.

1. Harry Potter from: The Harry Potter series 
Not only was Harry raised in the mean care of the Dursley's, but he always persevered and stayed humble.

2. Tiny Cooper from: Will Grayson, Will Grayson 
Tiny inspired people to embrace themselves, and to not listen to the haters. 

3. Theodore Finch from: All The Bright Places 
Theodore taught people to keep pushing forward, even if things seem unbearable. 

4. Augustus Waters from: The Fault in Our Stars 
Gus was inspiring because he always stayed positive, even if he was in pain. 

5. Margo Roth Spieglmen from: Paper Towns 
Margo is my hero because she taught me to take risks and let loose. 

6. Lena Haloway from: Delirium 
Lena taught readers to fight for love, and go against the odds. 

7. Elizabeth Bennett from: Pride and Prejudice 
Lizzie showed us to see the good in others, and to give people a chance. 

8. Jay Gatsby from: The Great Gatsby 
He lived his life to the fullest, and was an amazing friend. 

9. Annabeth Chase from: The Percy Jackson series 
She showed all girls out there that you can be more powerful than a guy. 

10. Tris Prior from: Divergent 
She defied all odds to become an amazing heroine. 

What characters make you inspired?
