Top Ten Tuesday: Books We Would Love To See As A Movie/TV Show

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

Vampire Academy- The movie

I just don't know how I feel about this.....

Is the world ready? and more importantly: Dimitri

Top Ten Tuesday: Top Fictional Boarding Schools

It is time again for Top Ten Tuesday! Since we had some free-reign this week, we have decided to go 

with Top Ten Boarding School Stories (also known as we are jealous we went to public schools 

and not magical high schools), since September and back to school time is on the horizon. As

always, a big thanks to the *GREAT* bloggers at The Broke and the Bookish for hosting TTT.

Grad Student:

1.   Night School by C. J. Daugherty.
2. The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks by E. Lockhart. A classic boarding school shenanigan story.

3.     The Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead.
Crazy Camper:

4.     The Name of the Star by Maureen Johnson- London boarding school (with charm forever).

5.     The Magicians by Lev Grossman- boarding school but creepy and actually not a place I want to be

6.    The Strange Angels series by Lili St. Crow (book 2 on).
Goosie Mama:

7.    HP, baby - hands down. (HP=Harry Potters, for the uninitiated)

8.    Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs- It's sort of a boarding school/orphanage, right??

9.    Fallen by Lauren Kate - because it STARTED THIS BLOG

10.  Looking for Alaska - Sorry, gotta keep John Green involved with all Top Tens!!

Top Ten Tuesday: Luuuvvvvvvv Interests

Hellllloooooooooooooo book bloggers! It is Tuesday again. That means its Top Ten Tuesday hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week's TTT is dedicated to our fav hunky male love interests. Now, we love a good romance. (Remember the time I word-searched for kisses on my Nook? It happened. I needed to know I could depend on some budding romance in my read). Here we go!

Is that Tim Riggins cast by fans as Dimitri? 

Crazy Camper:

• Hunter from Mystic City by Theo Lawrence. He is dark and mysterious while at once FULL of emotions. My kind of guy.
• Augustus Waters from The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. Always and forever. I am anxious to see who they cast for the movie version of this book!
• Dimitri from the Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead. Preferably before he becomes a vampire/post-vampire moody goon.

Tim Riggins also hows up when
you image search Kaleb.
Ha!
(PS, I can support this).

Grad Student:

• Ben from Texas Gothic by Rosemary Clement-Moore. "hot neighbor cowboy" ENOUGH SAID.
• Tucker from the Unearthly series by Cynthia Hand. Again, he is a cowboy. I love country music, and I particularly love country music in the summer, so this tendency should come as no surprise as I look forward to spring and summer.
• Kaleb from the Hourglass series by Myra McEntire. He likes to cook, knows he is a slice of sexy, and has tattoos for extra appeal. 
• George Cooper from The Lioness Quartet by Tamora Pierce. THE ORIGINAL roguish charmer.
• The Hudson Boys from Soul Screamers series by Rachel Vincent. Both Nash and Todd have made me swoon, and I still don't know who I love best.
• Sean from The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvadter. I like how he is the strong silent type.

A cheers of our whiskey sour to The Broke and the Bookish for hosting such an awesome weekly meme!
