Top Wednesday 5: Top 5 Bromances
Goodreads Group Link: https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/118368-top-5-wednesday
  1. Jay Gatsby and Nick Carroway from The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald.  Although, Gatsby is using Nick Carroway to reconnect with his old flame Daisy, Nick is incredibly accepting and loyal Gatsby.  He likes Jay for who he is, not because he’s rich and mysterious, though is intrigued like everyone else.  Even though he doesn’t entirely approve of Jay’s lack of being able to letting Daisy go he still helps Gatsby, and he also thinks very highly of the man.  Jay isn’t as great of a friend, but he still respects and appreciate Nick.  It does help Nick is Daisy’s cousin.  Jay helps Nick in his career as a writer and seems to truly enjoy his company.  They have an intriguing relationship to read about.
  2. Rhysand, Cassian, and Azriel from A Court of Mist and Fury and A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas.  These three just complement each other with their opposite personalities.  They’re always there for each other and work extremely well together.  Even though they’re not biologically related they’re like brothers in so many ways.  Both in fighting and supporting each other.
  3. The Raven Boys from The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stefviater.  I have only read the first book, but I plan to start the second book next month.  Blue should be included in this group of friends, but this is about bromances.  These four have a very flawed relationship that can seem one sided like Nick and Gatsby, but these four boys really do care about each other.  The group leader Gansy is willing to help take care of and protect the other three even if it’s not always wanted. The other three are also willing to search for a mythical king with Gansy even when it gets dangerous and seems unbelievable.  Their clashing personalities also just make this first book a fascinating read.
  4. Jon Snow and Samwell Tarly from A Song of Ice Fire series by George RR Martin.  This another friendship where the two are opposites.  Jon is the brooding heroic figure and Sam is a self- professed coward who is book smart.  Jon sees kindness and a different kind of bravery in Sam. He protects Sam when he first arrives at the Night’s Watch.  Sam admires and respects Jon Snow.  He doesn’t treat Jon any different just because he is a bastard.  Sam is Tarly in blood, but he is an outcast in his own family, but having Jon as a friend helps him deal with that.  I think Jon makes Sam brave and is partly Sam was able to, granted accidentally, find the weapon to kill the Wight Walkers.
  5. Sherlock and Watson from The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle.  Sherlock is such an outcast amongst the human race and is very anti-social, and Watson is the only one who can put up with him.  Watson genuinely cares about, is impressed with, and admires Sherlock greatly.  He even lets the detective drag him around on dangerous cases that he later documents, which is what we read, a record of their cases.  John is also one of the few Sherlock actually cares about.

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
