For Kitty Doe, it seems like an easy choice. She can either spend her life as a III in misery, looked down upon by the higher ranks and forced to leave the people she loves, or she can become a VII and join the most powerful family in the country.
If she says yes, Kitty will be Masked – surgically transformed into Lila Hart, the Prime Minister’s niece, who died under mysterious circumstances. As a member of the Hart family, she will be famous. She will be adored. And for the first time, she will matter.
There’s only one catch. She must also stop the rebellion that Lila secretly fostered, the same one that got her killed, and one Kitty believes in. Faced with threats, conspiracies and a life that’s not her own, she must decide which path to choose and learn how to become more than a pawn in a twisted game she’s only beginning to understand.
This books sounds amazing. It sounds like it will be action filled which I love. I have never read a book by Aimee Carter but I have wanted to, so I think I will start with this. I also really like the cover; simple but yet very detailed. Thankfully we don’t have long to wait before it hits the stores.
This is what I am waiting for this Wednesday. What are you?
Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they post a new Top Ten list that one of the bloggers at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. All Bloogers are then welcomed to join. This week’s Top Ten Tuesday is: Top Ten Character Names I Love or Top Ten Unusual Character Names
So I decide that I will mix these two ideas together as I didn’t think I would get enough of one. Then I thought about it, if they are unusual names and they are on this list I actually love them, and if the names are pretty popular names but I just still seem to love them. Like I say every week these are in no particular order.
1. Roar – Roar is from the Under the Ever Night Trilogy and its prequel novella Roar and Liv. This name is so unusual but fits so well into the story, and he does sort of reminds me of a lion so I guess that fits. In saying I would probably never name my children Roar if I ever had any, but for this dystopian novel, I think it’s perfect.
2. Rosemarie Hathaway – Rosemarie Hathaway is from the amazing series Vampire Academy. I just love this name, it’s not that unusual but I just seem to love it and you could like Rosemarie in VA does go by Rose.
3. Vasilisa – Another name from the Vampire Academyseries, in the character of Vasilisa Dragomir but this name is very unusual. Firstly I have never read a book with this name in it other than VA and secondly I know of no one with this name but I just seem to love. Vasilisa means ‘Queen, Royal’ and if I so say so myself, Vasilisa fits perfect with the Character she is.
4. Luna – Luna Lovegood is from the Harry Potter Series, she appears in book 4 onwards. I just love this name and always will. I guess I think I love it as I think of Luna as a strong character, so I when I hear the name Luna I don’t think of some nutball I think of someone that is strong mentally, I think of this quote ‘ Luna taught as that being yourself is much more interesting than being someone else’
5. Katniss – from the Hunger Games trilogy, this name is very unusual and I have never heard of it before I read the Hunger Games books. I would never name my children Katniss, but I think it’s a pretty cool name.
6. Patch – Patch is from the Hush Hush series and even though it’s not his real name. We know him by Patch for so long that you get use to it. But I think Patch is an awesome name and I just seem to love it. His real name is pretty epic as well.
7. Dimitri – And again another name from the Vampire Academy Series, Richelle Mead just knows her way with names. I have always liked the name Dimitri but VA just made me love it, so much more.
8. Tobias– Tobias is a Characters name in Divergent and even though it is very unusual I just seem to love it, and I have no idea. And you know what I would not mind naming my son Tobias as well.
10. Xavier – I think there is a few Xaiver’s around now in books, but the one I picked from was Halo.I love this name, I think maybe because of the unusual spelling but it’s just an awesome name and in the last few years it has become pretty popular.
So here is my Top Ten, I do love so many other names that it’s hard to count, but I wrapped it up to 10. What do you think of my list? Any name’s similar that we both have on our list?
Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they post a new Top Ten list that one of the bloggers at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. All Bloogers are then welcomed to join. This week’s Top Ten Tuesday is: Top Ten Books I Was Forced to Read (either by teachers, friends, other bloggers, reviews)
So alot of these books were what I had to read for school, I had no other choice but to read them. I actually could not get to 10 as I have not really been forced to read anything expect for school required book. These are in no particular order;
1. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin: I was forced to read Pride and Prejudice this year, for my English Literature class and I hate to say this but I just don’t like it. I find that I cannot connect with Classical book so it’s hard for me to enjoy it and I also dislike Mr Darcy *hides away in a corner*
2. Othello by William Shakespeare: This again is what I had to read this year for my English Literature Class. I just did not like this as it was hard to understand as it is in modern English
4. Into White Silence by Anthony Eaton : I had to read this last year for English and I have no idea why they picked this book. It is soooo boring and I think I read about 5 chapters and stopped I could not read anymore. Still managed to get an A+ for my Essay on it but.
6. Tomorrow when the War began by John Marsden:So This I read 2 years ago the same year the movie come out. I wanted to read it before I watched the movie because the trailer looked awesome and guess what it was on my book list. I really enjoyed this book and went on to read the rest of the series.
7. The Gathering by Isobelle Carmody: I had to read this when I was in year 8 in high school, that was about 3 /4 years ago. I just did not enjoy it. I found it very wired and boring.
So these are the only book I was able to come up with. As I said before I only really read book I want to read, as these book were required by school I had to read them.
What do you think about my list?
What is on your list?
