Top Ten Book BFFs

Top 10 Tuesday is a post hosted by The Broke and the Bookish and this week's topic is Top Ten Books I Read in 2014. But since I actually have a giveaway posted on the blog that outlines my favorite reads from this year, I figured I'd just refer you to that post. Giveaway ends 12/18/14. Instead I'm doing Top Ten Book BFFs.

  1. Sara – Breathing by Rebecca Donovan – Sara is fiercely protective of Emma. She always, always has Emma’s back and will go to bat against anyone to protect her.
  2. Dee – Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick – Dee is hilarious and reminds me of one of my real life friends.
  3. Lulah – Stephanie Plum by Janet Evanovich – Again…hilarious! Plus Lulah can hold her own.
  4. Alice – Twilight by Stephanie Meyer – Granted having her dress me might get a little old, but it’d be nice not to have to worry about what I’m going to wear. The biggest pro here would be the ability to know the future.
  5. Howie - Jasper Dent by Barry Lyga - Humorous, but always has Jasper's back. When most people would run, Howie chose to stick by Jasper. He's friendship knows no bounds. As Jasper said "This is hard-core friendship. Varsity level".
  6. Ron & Hermione - Harry Potter - Seriously, how could these two NOT make this list?
  7. Maddie - Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein - Only the truest of friends could have had Verity's back like Maddie does. Not just anyone could have done for Verity what Maddie did.
  8. Lissa - Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead - Even though Rose is the main character and does the majority of the tough work, Lissa does her fair share of saving Rose, especially in Last Sacrifice.
  9. Zuzana - Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor - Also brings the humor, but also willing to do whatever it takes to be there for her best friend.
  10. Erin - Easy by Tammara Webber - When Jacqueline was attacked, Erin steps up and signs them both up for self defense classes. She just generally all around a great best friend.

Can you guys believe that I kept this list to 10? Amazing, right? What are your top ten favorite reads this year? Also, who are your favorite book BFFs? Let me know!

Top Ten Books I'd Like to see Turn into a Movie/TV Show

Top 10 Tuesday is a post hosted by The Broke and the Bookish and this week's topic is Top Ten Books I'd Like to See Turned Into a Movie/TV Show.

Ok so I'm totally excluding any book or series that I know a movie IS in the works or ones that the rights have been optioned (Slammed, Hopeless, etc).

    1) Partials by Dan Wells
    2) The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin (review coming soon)
    3) Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi
    4) This is Not a Test by Courtney Summers (review coming soon)
    5) Delirium by Lauren Oliver
    6) Code Name Verity & Rose Under Fire by Elizabeth Wein
    7) The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey
    8) Grave Mercy by RL LaFevers
    9) Cinder by Marissa Meyer
    10) Firelight by Sophie Jordan
    11) The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan

These are all ones that I think would translate wonderfully to visual media. I'd pay the ridiculous $10 per movie to see each of these...AND their sequels.
