Top 10 Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in 2010. It combines what I love most in this world into one—lists, books, and blogging. It couldn’t be any better suited for me! This week I’m going to let you guys know about the books I love, that I haven’t really talked about a lot on here. I feel like you all know how much I love Harry Potter and Divergent, but here’s my lesser well known favorites. Let’s get started! 1. All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven I raved about this when I first read it a few months ago, but I truly think it’s one of my favorites. I think…

1. I am currently reading Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe. 2. 3. It’s SPRING BREAK! Usually that means sun and sand, but for me it means dentist appointments and getting ahead in my work. Making the best of an unfortunate situation is always best! 4. Here are some truly hilarious posts from tumblr about books that any book lover can relate to. 5. I went roller-skating last week with my sorority, and despite being absolutely terrible, I loved every moment of it. Happy reading, Kimberly
Top 5 Wednesday: Fictional Items
This weeks Top 5 Wednesday is all about the fictional items I wish I could have. I know this is going to be a hard one to narrow down, so let’s get started! 1. An invisibility cloak from Harry Potter Nothing would be better than being able to disappear from society but still being able to participate in a way. I could people watch without interruption and curl up in my favorite chair for hours without being disturbed — unless people tried to sit on me, now that would be a problem. I could definitely pull some Fred and George Weasley worthy pranks with this thing on. 2. Flying carpet from 1,001 Nights While…

Let’s get started! 1. Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell I’ve actually already started in on this one and it’s GREAT. 2. Midwinter Blood by Marcus Sedgewick 3. Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz…
Treasure Tuesday
1. I just finished the graphic novel “Blankets” by Craig Thompson. If you’ve never read a graphic novel, I highly suggest picking this one up. It was extremely well done and very inspirational. 2. 3. Last week was Big/Little week for my sorority, and I had SO much fun surprising my two littles throughout the week with gifts, candy, and more. I am so happy they are a part of my AXO family! 4. Find out if you were truly a bookworm in the 90s with this Buzzfeed quiz. I got “Reading Master,” and I don’t think much has changed since then. 5. I filmed with a GoPro for the first…

1. I am currently reading “Code Name Verity.” So far, it’s an amazing historical fiction YA novel that I definitely recommend to anyone interested in either of those genres. 2. If you didn’t know, I am in a sorority at college and last night I got my little(s?)!!! I am so excited and ready to make the week an amazing one! 3. 4. Here’s a list from Buzzfeed of the top YA books to read this spring. I’m looking forward to reading #4, #6, and #13. They all look amazing though. 5. I am the Editor-in-Chief of my yearbook, and this past week I was featured on my school’s new…
Top 10 Tuesday: Books to Read When…
Top 10 Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in 2010. It combines what I love most in this world into one—lists, books, and blogging. It couldn’t be any better suited for me! Today I’m talking to you guys about the books you want to read when you’re in the mood to cry. Let’s get started… 1. If I Stay by Gayle Forman This story begins with a car crash, and it only gets sadder from there. Despite it’s sad nature, it really is an amazing book with a heart-wrenching story. Forman is an amazing writer that brings this interesting world to life and drives readers to tears. 2.…

1. I am currently reading “Brown Girl Dreaming” by Jacqueline Woodson. 2. Yesterday was February 29th, that means we all got an extra day in the year. Let me know what you did with that day in the comments below! 3. 4. I’m so excited to be entering March because that means I’m only 3 weeks away from reading books on the beach. Happy reading, Kimberly
Top 5 Wednesday: Poor Love Interests
Today’s top 5 is dedicated to the love interests in books we absolutely hate. I decided to pair them up and talk about the couples I could do without in my novels. Here’s what I’ve got for you: 1. Edward and Bella from Twilight Honestly, there is no relationship worse than Edward and Bella’s. She falls in love with him because he’s pretty, and he falls in love with her because her blood smells good. Really? This is what young girls are supposed to aspire to? Their relationship is unhealthy and codependent and this should not be an example of desirable love to a young girl/boy. (Or any girl/boy for that matter.)…
