c.j.'s selections
ten ten ten | ||
one | Throne of Glass - Sarah J. Maas If I were Celaena, I'd either wither away in Endovier, get eaten by a Valg, or perish to death from staring too longingly into Dorian Havilliard's eyes. | |
two | Illuminae - Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff You know the badass main characters who run around hacking things and foiling the AI? I would be one of the dumbass soldiers getting vented iEfnto space. | |
three | The Cure for Dreaming - Cat Winters Being hypnotized so I can't talk about scandalous stuff because I'm a woman? Screw that. (Also I'd totally be one of those well-educated spinsters who writes poetry and only talks to her cats.) | |
four | Denton Little's Death Date - Lance Rubin I think about death enough as it is. Can you imagine if I knew when I was going to die? I'd probably end up killing myself early from obsessing over my deathdate, thus mystifying scientists all over. | |
five | A Madness So Discreet - Mindy McGinnis If you can get committed just for disagreeing with your husband or getting knocked up, my crazy-pants self would get committed ten times over. Also being locked in a cellar and wallowing in my own waste would kill me of gagging. | |
six | The Knife of Never Letting Go - Patrick Ness Not only would I probably be dead (ya know, the whole lack of women thing) but if I weren't, my social anxiety plus being able to hear everyone's thoughts about me would make my head explode into a zillion pieces. Or I'd just starve because wtf is survival!? | |
seven | Insomnia - J.R. Johannson If anyone is going to have incurable insomnia, it'd be me. Except I probably wouldn't find an awesomely mindful person whose dreams let me get some sleep, and instead would be dead by the age of 19. Or I'd go on a sleep deprived psychotic murder spree. | |
eight | Everneath - Brodi Ashton There's Nikki, so captivating that the fiendish Cole spares her life and develops an obsessive passion for her. Then there would be me, that dumb girl who freaks out because a guy likes her and then gets sucked into a soulless husk for all eternity. | |
nine | After the Red Rain - Barry Lyga, Peter Facinelli, Robert DeFranco If I have to work in a killing factory and my only available romantic interest is a human-shaped plant, I'd rather get run through the meat grinder. | |
ten | A Series of Unfortunate Events - Lemony Snicket I refuse to live in a world where adults are that effing incompetent. Like, does no one have a basic grasp of how humaning works!? |
UGH A Series of Unfortunate Events books are simply brilliant, Lemony Snicket you genius!! Patrick Ness has to be one of my favourite UKYA authors ever, that series is simply awesome :-) I'm catching up with The Throne of Glass series. Great picks here :-) Here is my TTT post @ Emma's Bookery ,of Ten Authors I'm Thankful For if you would like to check it out! Hope you're having a great week so far! :D xx
