Top Ten “Gateway” Books/Authors In My Reading Journey

Apr 1, 2014

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 members at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. All bloggers are then welcomed to join. This week’s Top Ten Tuesday is: Top Ten “Gateway” Books/Authors In My Reading Journey

I have given you, a little explanation on why these books and authors are in my reading journey, and like always these are in no particular order.

1. The Harry Potter Series by J.K Rowling: This series got me into reading. I was about 6ish when my mum first started reading this series to me and ever since then I have loved reading.

2. The Vampire Academy Series by Richelle Mead: I never stopped reading really, just didn’t read as much through my primary school years but in my first year of High School I picked up the Vampire Academy books and my love for reading was cemented.

3. Just Listen by Sarah Dessen: I had never read any contemporary before reading Just Listen and after reading it, I really started to move into reading contemporary.

4. John Green and Katie McGarry: The emotions that they captures in their books, the depth of their characters and story line. Has just made me fall in love with those happy yet so heart breaking novels

5. Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games: I was never one for Dystopian but after reading The Hunger Games Trilogy, it’s become one of my favourite genre’s

6. Under The Never Sky by Veronica Rossi: Again another one of those Dystopian books that made me really love the genre

7. Angelfall by Susan Ee: I use to adore any books to do with Angels, but after a while the story line just kept on repeating it’s self then I found Angelfall and wow, made me fall in love with Angel’s once more.

So that is it for this week. yes, yes I know it’s not Ten, but so far in my life these books and authors have helped me on my way with my reading journey. Who and what books have and are on your journey?

Top Ten Things On My Bookish Bucket List

Mar 25, 2014

This week was fun and sad at the same time, I want so many things some that will take years for me to get but hey I will hopefully get them. (These are in no particular order)

1. Attend BEA: Aka BookExpo America, this is pretty much the event that I need to go to NEED. It would be amazing to go to this event, sadly as I live in Australia it’s going to take a while for me to get there.

2. Grow a ‘successful’ blog: By successful blog, I mean one that I am happy having, one that people love, that I love.

3. Start and finish more series: There is so many series that I want to read ( Shatter Me, The Lunar Chronicles and so many more.) There are also series that I need to finish (Pushing the Limits and more)

4. Work in publishing: It’s my dream job to work in publishing, so it would be amazing to work for a publishing house

5. Meet more authors – I have meet a few authors in the last few years; Samantha Shannon, Amie Kaufman, Meagan Spooner and a few more. I love meeting authors, there is something about it, being able to met author.

6. Write my own book: I have always loved writing and to be able to write my own novel would be pretty much the most amazing thing I could ever do. I know it’s going to take a while but I hope to get there.

7. Have more singed books: I LOVE signed books. There is something about having signed books by the author that just makes me love the book even more. I pretty much cried when i received my signed The Fault in Our Stars

8. Have a reading room: When I buy my house or even build it, I want a reading room, with bookshelf all along the walls, with comfy coaches and with a window seat.

9. Meet more fellow bloggers: I love meeting bloggers that I talk to online, it’s really amazing meeting people, wired but awesome.

So that is it for this weeks Top Ten, yes it wasn’t 10 but close. Hope you enjoyed. Don’t forget to follow my Facebook page and on bloglovin for more from me. You can also subscribe to through email. Check it out in the sidebar.
