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.) 

Maze Runner AWESOMENESS via

Grad Student:

• 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).

FYI kids. Dimitri doesn't smile. via

Grad Student AND Crazy Camper
Outcast by Adrienne Kress. DO IT. 

Grad Student
Unspoken by Sarah Rees Brennan. Again--Do it! Delightful.

Anna and the French Kiss AND Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins. And then I fell down the rabbit hole of contemp YA romance.

Crazy Camper

For the Darkness Shows the Stars by Diana Peterfreund: This was probably the most I've swooned in a long time. And the title, love it.

Veronica Roth's Insurgent Series (esp book 1- love me some world-building).

The Book Thief by Mark Zuzak. This is almost like saying I "like" John Green. LOVE.

Goosie Mama:

Truth or Dare by Jacqueline Green was great, such a great summer read too!

 An Abundance of Katherine's and that was, as CC mentions, fabalamadingdong. I mean John Green, 'nuff said.

Also, I haven't mentioned it yet on the blog but I read Dreamland by Sarah Dessen about this teenager who was in an abusive relationship and I couldn't put it down. It was strangely engrossing, like a car wreck you can't look away from.

Finally, Princesses of Iowa was sooooooo good. Nothing supernatural and not as lighthearted as the title might imply but SUCH an honest coming of age story I lived for it!!

Check out our reviews of Outcast by Andrienne Kress, An Abundance of Katherines by John Green,Unspoken by Sarah Reese Brennan, Divergent by Veronica Roth (Grad Student’s review, Goosie Mama’s review) and  Insurgent, For Darkness Shows the Stars by Diana Peterfreund (and Crazy Camper's addendum), The Book Thief by Mark Zuzak, and Anna and the French Kiss and Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins. So many books to love.
