2. Divergent Series- The love and loss was just so so sad. I believe the whole internet agrees. 3. Will and Jem from the Infernal Devices series. Just hunky hunks doing their thing and killing bad guys. 4. Archer from Fire 5. Gale, especially from the movie cause he is just undeniably a hunk. 6. The Raven Boys- ALL OF THEM, in their own ways. Cheers to the Broke and Bookish for hosting as always! What's on your list?
This week's Top Ten Tuesday: Books That Will Make You Cry. Other then sad country songs and commercials for the Olympics that show parents of Olympians, books top the list of tear-inducing material.
1. The Fault in Our Stars. Does this even need explanation? The movie is also going to wreck us I am sure, the trailer did....
It is Tuesday! Which means it is time to join The Broke and the Bookish in Top Ten Tuesday. This week's list is dedicated to "Top Ten Sequels We Can't Wait To Get Our Hands On." Share your list below. We probs forgot something epic and need to be reminded :-).
1. Cress by Marissa Meyer, the third in the Lunar Chronicles Series. These books are each better than the last.
2 and 3. Rebel Heart and Raging Star, the second and third books in the Dust Lands Series, which I imagine will be as equally epic as Blood Red Road.
4. Ruin and Rising by Leigh Bardugo, book three of the Grisha Series. This series reminds me of the Graceling books in the best way possible.
5. Ruins by Dan Wells. Book three of the Partials series!
6.The One by Kiera Glass, book three in The Selection series. A guilty pleasure read, but one Crazy Camper is really enjoying.
7. Hollow City by Ransom Riggs. Whhhhaaaaaattt!? So cool.
Today's Top Ten Tuesday is dedicated to the most unusual names we have come across in our reading adventures. Some we love, some we think are tots wacky. Full disclosure, we come from a family of "authentic" Irish names. Really it is only a small step from authentic/ethnic to wild and crazy. 1. Etienne St. Claire from Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins. But it works for him! 2. Montgomery "Monty" Overbove and Montgomery "Gomery" Overbovefrom the Wilfair series by Alysia Gray Painter. They are cousins. 3. Thursday Next from The Eyre Affaire by Jasper Fforde. 4. Lena Duchannes from the Beautiful Creatures series by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. This is a great name! 5. Kai and Xander from Ally Condie's Matched trilogy. Nothing says sci-fi dystopian future like wacky names.
6. F'lar and all the apostrophe's from the Dragonriders of Pern series by Ann McCaffery. Your name gets shorted with an apostrophe when you become a dragon rider (enter F'nor, R'gul, F'lon). If you know this series, please enjoy these Google images of F'lar fan art:
7. Blue Sargent from The Raven Boys cycle by Maggie Stiefvater. Her name, her character, are perfect fits. Well done. which leads us to the Raven Boys themselves, especially Gansey and Ronan.
8. Back to sci/fi and apostrophe's, Rand al'Thor from Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time. The names in this series actually prevent me from finishing, because gosh darn it I cant remember who is who!
Who made your list this week? As always, merci beaucoup to The Broke and the Bookish for hosting Top Ten Tuesday!

Grad Student:
Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell. More Rowell books! I am still in the love-induced afterglow of Eleanor and Park.
Its time again for Top Ten Tuesday! Hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, this weekly event is a creative way to share books we love via lists. This week's TTT is Top Ten Books I Would Love To See As A Movie/TV Show (set in a perfect world...in which movies don't butcher the books we love.)
The Maze Runner by James Dasher. Annnnd, check! And so far it looks great.
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. The visuals would be to die for.
A Jennifer Echols Made for TV movie series. Going Too Far, Such a Rush... they are perfect for TV melodrama.
Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein(Oscar contender) . Starring Meryl Streep as Maddie's mother and Vanessa Redgrave as the french grandmother with the roses. TEARS.
Goosie Mama:
Looking for Alaska and/or Will Grayson, Will Grayson - i can't break my John Green streak now...amiright?!
Truth or Dare by Jacqueline Green because this would be one hellofa awesome suspense thriller!
Crazy Camper:
For Darkness Shows the Stars by Diana Peterfreund. I just think this was swoon worthy and would be best of Baz Lurman got involved.
VAMPIRE ACADEMY- PLEASE DO IT RIGHT AND MAKE THEM ALL. (end fangirl rant).
