It’s that time of the week again when I bring you the Top 5 Wednesdays, created by gingerreadslainey. If you want to know how T5W works you can go to the Goodreads group by clicking here. This week theme is Biggest Badasses. For some reason my list today only has female characters. I swear it wasn’t intentional, it just happened. Let’s see some of the books that made this list 🙂 Continue reading
Hi guys! Today I’m back with another tag. I was tagged by Cristina @ My Tiny Obsessions to The BFF Book Tag so thank you Cristina for tagging me 🙂 . I decided to answer to this tag today. This tag was created by Chantal @ CK’s Reading Corner and it looked really fun to do that I decided to answer to this tag today. So let’s see my picks for this tag 🙂
Hi guys! As you might know today starts the last week of 2015. Yes, next week by this time we will be in 2016. Can you imagine? This year went by so fast. Because of that this week will be dedicated to my favorites of 2015. It might be books, it might be TV Shows, it might as well be my favorite covers of 2015, I still don’t know for sure but I’ll have a new list each day. Actually, if you want me to do a list of something just tell me in the comments. I might like the idea and do it 🙂 . To start this week I thought that I should start with my Top 10 Favorite Books of 2015, however, and because I keep cheating in these things, I’ll be showing you not 10 but 11 books (technically it’s more than 11 because I’ll have books from the same series). So let’s see some of my favorite books.
Disclaimer: These books are books that I’ve read in 2015 and because of that some of these books were released before this year. Also, the books that I’m going to show are going to appear in a random order because I couldn’t choose my favorite. Continue reading
Hi guys! It’s time for Blogmas day 19 and because I already talked about my Favorite Christmas Songs and my Favorite Holiday Movies I decided that I wanted to show you some of my favorite children’s books. This books are not related to Christmas but I just think that this is a great time to talk about children’s books mostly because there’s no one who loves more Christmas than kids, right? 😛 . Also, while these are technically children’s books who still can read them. I’ve read them in the last 2/3 years so there’s no problems if an adult wants to read these books. So let’s see some of my favorite Children’s books. Continue reading
Hi guys!! Today is Blogmas day 16 and because this week Top 5 Wednesdays is related to Christmas I decided to combine both posts. Top 5 Wednesdays was created by gingerreadslainey and if you want to know how T5W works you can go to the Goodreads group by clicking here. This week theme as I said before is kind of holidays related and it is Top 5 Books to Read by the Fire (Winter/Holiday recommendations). Because I haven’t read a lot of holiday related books some of these books won’t have Christmas and Holidays as an important point in the story. Continue reading
Hi guys! It’s time for Blogmas day 14 and once again I’m going to be talking about Bookish Christmas Gifts. Has I told you before there are a lot of things that bookworms might want as present and because of that I decided to split the post. If you want to see some more suggestions you can click here and here and see my first posts related to this topic. Today I’m focusing on books that I as bookworm would love to have so I think some other bookworms would probably like it too. Continue reading
Hi guys! If you don’t know today is the day that Winter is finally released! However I have to wait for my copy for about two weeks (damn it to not living in the USA or UK) and because of that I decided to do a post that is all about series. I was recently tagged by Keira @ Signing On to share with everyone which Series I Would Take to a Desert Island so here it is. Thank you so much Keira for tagging me 🙂 . This “tag” was created by Nicole @ AwayinNeverland. So let’s see which series are part of this list. Continue reading
It’s that time of the week again when I bring you the Top 5 Wednesdays, created by gingerreadslainey. If you want to know how T5W works you can go to the Goodreads group by clicking here. This weeks theme is Top 5 Banned Books I’ve Read. If you don’t know Banned Books Week this year goes from September 27 to October 3 and that’s the reason that this is this week’s theme. While banning books nationally it’s not a thing anymore there are still some schools and libraries that decide to ban books for the weirdest reasons. When I was doing some research for this topic I was surprised because there were some books that I wasn’t expecting in this list. So let’s see some of the banned books that I’ve read.
5. The Fault in Our Stars – John Green
I wasn’t expecting to see this book in a banned books list. It looks like that this book was pulled off from a Middle Grade School library because some parents thought that their kids shouldn’t read a book about teens with cancer who use crude language and that are in love. Even funnier is that all of John Green books have been banned from some school libraries.
4. The Diary of a Young Girl – Anne Frank
This was another book that surprised me. This book was also banned from some Middle Grade Schools because of its sexual content and homosexual themes. It was also banned because Anne Frank talked about the changes in her body which is pretty normal for a teen who’s growing up. I wasn’t expecting this because when I read this book the only thing I could think was how unfair the whole war was and the million of people who died.
3. Eleanor & Park – Rainbow Rowell
This book was banned from a library because it uses profanity and some sexuality. This even brought some controversy because Rainbow Rowell was set to visit the town library but her appearance was cancelled because of the ban.
2. Harry Potter – J. K. Rowling
I think that this one is not a surprise to anyone. Harry Potter has been banned from a lot of schools and libraries because it promotes witchcraft. Also, some people think that Harry and company are not good examples because they lie, break rules, and disobeys authority figures and kids should not be reading these kind of books. There a few more reasons why people keep banning Harry Potter but I think that it would take a whole post to talk (and rant) about it.
1. The Perks of Being a Wallflower – Stephen Chbosky
I can’t say that I’m surprised by seeing this book in this list because I’m not. This is one of the most challenged books of all time and I’ve seen some books being banned by way less than The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Some of the reasons why this book was banned were the sexually explicit content, the language, the drugs and the fact that it has a rape scene. That’s right. You know what’s even worse? A school banned this book in recently because it promotes a homosexual agenda.
These are some the banned books that I’ve read. If I could tell everything that I think about banned books I would be here ranting about it for a long time. What about you? Which banned books have you read? And what do you think about banned books? Tell me in the comments.
Hi guys! Today I decided to talk to you about my favorite book to movie adaptations. I don’t know if you’re like but most of the times I’m really pessimist about the movies even before the release because I had a lot of disappointments already (*cough* City of Bones *cough*). Because of that I decided to talk about some book to movie adaptations that I actually really like and also a few movies that I haven’t read the book yet but want to. (Note: The books are in a non-specific order)
1. The Perks of Being a Wallflower – Stephen Chbosky
I loved this book and the movie was so well done. The cast was amazing and everything was great in the movie. Maybe Hollywood should start using the authors as screenwriters because Stephen Chbosky did a great job on turning his book in an amazing movie. And not only he was the screenwriter but he was also the director. How amazing is that?
2. A Walk to Remember – Nicholas Sparks
I think I already told you how much I love Nicholas Sparks books. I’ve read all of them but normally I don’t watch the movie adaptations. I think I’ve only watched 3/4 movie adaptations of his books. This one is still my favorite and makes me cry every time (even when I know everything already).
3. The Hunger Games – Suzanne Collins
I think that The Hunger Games movies are so well done. I loved especially the first one. There where a few things I would have changed (like you know, Peeta’s leg) but I still loved the movie.
4. Harry Potter – J.K. Rowling
I have to be honest here. In this one I saw the movies before I read the books (and I still have two to read) but these movies are epic and changed a whole generation. I think I don’t need to explain a lot right?
5. One Day – David Nichols
This movie is one of the cases where I liked the movie more than the book. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the book but for some reason I really loved this movie and everyone should watch it because I don’t know anyone that actually saw this movie and it’s sad.
6. The Book Thief – Markus Zusak
Another one that I think that doesn’t need explanation. This book is amazing and everyone involved in the movie was able to make a really good (and devastating) movie. If you haven’t seen it yet you really need.
7. The Fault in our Stars – John Green
Let’s talk about another movie that makes me cry every time?? The movie was beautiful. Okay I didn’t like Ansel as Gus but I’m able to forget that and appreciate the movie every time I watch it.
8. The Hobbit – J.R.R. Tolkien
The first time I read The Hobbit I was thinking: “How are they doing 3 movies from this tiny book?”. Well, insert a lot of amazing scenes that weren’t in the book and that make the movie even better. But let’s be real, some of the scenes were still boring but I love this universe and it has beautiful views.
9. The Spectacular Now – Tim Sharp
Another book/movie that I normally don’t hear people talk about. I love coming-of-age stories and I liked the book but seeing it as a movie was even better. This is another one that I think that everyone should read/watch.
10. The Chronicles of Narnia – C.S. Lewis
I know… the movies were not that good but I loved them (well, I didn’t like the last one) and I don’t care about what other people say about the movies. Every time this is on TV I will watch it and love it.
Honorable Mention: The DUFF – Kody Keplinger
I’ve watched the movie last week and loved it. I loved the book and I was afraid to watch the movie because I knew how much they changed the plot but it actually worked. It was actually a good movie.
1. The Invention of Hugo Cabret – Brian Selznick
2. Bridge to Terabithia – Katherine Paterson
3. The Princess Diaries – Meg Cabot
4. The Lovely Bones – Alice Sebold
5. The Lord of the Rings – J.R.R. Tolkien
These are some of my favorite book to movie adaptations and some books I want to read. I probably forgot a few movies but what can I do 😛 … Tell me in the comments what are some of your favorite book to movie adaptations and which books do you want to read..
