Top 5 Wednesday: Rereads

-
I'm going to go ahead and share my top five Wednesday. This Wednesday's topic is top five books I want to reread.  This is actually a pretty easy one for me, because one of my biggest readers problem is buying more books than I can reread.  Here's my list and these are in no particular order. #T5W


  1. Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell.  This is one of my favorite romances and I love the character of Scarlet, even if she can be selfish bitch. She's such a complex character that grows so much in the story. Plus, I have a soft spot for historical romances.
  2. It by Stephen King.  I was afraid of clowns long before I read this book, but its one of the best horror stories that I had ever read.  I've been wanting to reread this book for a long time, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.  I have watched the movie multiple times, but the movie doesn't have as much as the book does.
  3. The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. I have to admit this is the only book from this series that I have actually read and finished.  I started reading this when I heard the movie was coming out and was determined to at least read one book from the series, though, at some point in my life, I want read all the book in the series.
  4. A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens.  This was my first Dickens and became one of my favorite classics, Sydney Carton is on my list of crushes.  I feel there's so much I could get the second time around, and like all the books on this list I want refresh my memory of the plot.
  5. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte  This is another favorite classic of mine.  I fell in love with the story and the character of Jane.  The romance between her and Rochester is so beautiful and poetic, but this story isn't just about that.  This is a story about a woman finding herself and who doesn't love a story about self discovery?

    There was a time when I used to read Jane Eyre and The Hobbit once every year. :)

Here is my copy of the first two books in Throne of Glass; Throne of Glass and Crown of Midnight.  I hope to get the third one, Heir of Fire for Christmas.  I'm loving the series so far.  Team Chaol!!!  But I like Dorian too, just not as Celaena's lover, but her good friend. I got both of these from BooksaMillion. Add caption I got this one at Barnes & Noble, but I will wait to finish it before I buy or ask for Court of Mist and Fury.  I'm hoping by then it will be in paperback, which I prefer since I take books with me wherever I go.

Top 5 Wednesday: Freebie

Top 5 Characters I Want to be Best Friends I decided for my Freebie to choose from one of the topic suggestions.   I don’t know if any of these characters would want to be friends with me Lol, but I like them and would love to be friends with them. 1.     Sansa Stark from The Song of Ice and Fire series by George RR Martin.   I admit, at first, I didn’t like Sansa didn’t appreciate how she treated Arya, but as the story goes on I have come feel sorry for her and fall for her character.   She goes through so much hell and survives so much trauma, and she needs a friend she can trust.   She also needs a friend who genuinely wants to be that, a friend, and she’s a sweet person, despite her attitude in the beginning. 2.     I would just love to be part of this friend group: Cinder, Scarlet, Cress, and Winter from The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer.   All these girls are really cool and would be fun to hang out with. 3.     Alice Cullen from Twilight by Stephanie Meyer.   She’s

Top 5 Polarizing Books

Twilight by Stephanie Meyer.  A lot of people in my generation can't stand this book, because they have realized how flawed this story is, and I get the dislike, I do.  As we get older we begin to see how bad a lot of YA like this can be, but I have a soft spot for this series.  This was the second series that I got into hardcore, the first series being Harry Potter, and I was one of those people who went through the vampire phase.  This was also the second series I got into that my mom liked too, and I am always trying to find ones that both me and my mom can enjoy. A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas.  I know a lot of people don't like this one, especially since the second one came out, and I have not read the second one so my opinion might change.  I loved the this book.  If it's a Beauty and the Beast retelling I'm going to be interested.  This retelling was done really well in my opinion.  I'll probably get mad at Tamlin like everybody else as a I r
