Top 5 Ideal Mashups in a Book
Most of these will be fantasy combined with something.
1.    This is not two specific books, but specific genres: Historical Fiction and Fantasy.  I love both these genres and the idea of mixing them.  Now, I’m not talking about medieval fantasy, but a fantasy story set in some decade in 20th century or 18th or 19th century history.  Like Magic during the American Revolution.
2.    Western and Fantasy.  I think this would be a fun combination.  Like incorporating fantasy in book set during 18th or 19th it would be unusual and a unique and would be fascinating to see how the world would be effected if magic had existed back then.
3.    Magical realism and hard-hitting issues.  I think this is a brilliant way to teach people about important societal issues.  It will make easier to understand it and puts less pressure on someone to consider our societal issues.
4.    Historical fiction that mixes fact and fiction.  It teaches me about famous historical figures and events, and inspires me to research the real facts about it to find what the book got right and wrong.
5.    Historical Thrillers.  I would rather read a thriller set in a historical time period.  Its more interesting to me.  I haven’t gotten to it yet, but I want to read Stalking Jack the Ripper for this reason.

Beginnings of Sarah J. Maas Collection

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
