Top Ten Tuesday is hosted over at the other blog I write for, The Broke and the Bookish.

Thanksgiving is this week and then my Christmas break starts next week, so I an coming up on a prime period for reading a ton of books! Obviously I’m going to be reading a ton of Christmas books for next month’s Christmas event here on the blog, but there are some non-Christmas titles I’m dying to get to soon!

What are you excited to curl up and read this winter?

I don’t normally re-read books, just because I always feel bad for doing that when I have SO many books I have not even read once yet! There are a few books I’ve run across throughout my life, though, that I would love to read and experience all over again.

I feel like it has been forever since I participated in a Top Ten Tuesday! This is a list of characters that I would be just fine being stranded on a deserted island with. Some are for friendship, some for protection, some for romance, and some for comedic relief!

 

Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins
I would not go hungry if Katniss were around to hunt!

Bennett from the Time Between Us duology by Tamara Ireland Stone
Bennett is a time traveler, plus he can travel AYWHERE. So I would have him around for when I needed a break from the island and wanted to go to a concert in Chicago in 1970.

Mal from the Shadow and Bone trilogy by Leigh Bardugo
Mal is SO swoony, not to mention devoted to those he cares about. He’s a great tracker, navigator, and friend. I know he would keep me alive.

Cinder from The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer
Cinder would be my island sister! We’d talk boys and she’d fix my Kindle every time it broke so I would never be without reading material.

Ethan Vance from Boomerang by Noelle August
Because seriously. This guy is sexy and athletic, plus he’s tender and caring. He’d be my island boyfriend.

St. Claire from Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins
I love this guy, plus he’d teach me French in our spare time.

Thorne from The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer
This guy is hilariously cocky and snarky, plus his one-liners are amazing. I’d love to sit and talk with him forever.

Four from Divergent by Veronica Roth
He’s sweet, plus eye candy. Come on.

Celaena Sardothien from the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas
I’m pretty sure she could strangle a shark. So I need her to protect me. Plus, she’s girly and loves sweets and books. So we’d be besties.

Sean O’Neil from Suddenly Last Summer by Sarah Morgan
He’s a sexy doctor! Everyone needs one of these on a deserted island, right? Think Jack from LOST, only better. Much better, because I loved Sawyer a lot more. Anyway.

 So! Who would you want on a deserted island with you? Do you agree with my choices? Am I missing someone?

This is a hard topic! There are so many reasons why I love books, and frequently it’s because the book is about something or is set somewhere that is very uncommon in the books I read. I’m going to break things down into unique settings and unique topics/premises. Hopefully I’ll be able to narrow things down to ten books that fall into these two categories because I am all about organization. Hehe.

Unique Settings
Girl at Sea by Maureen Johnson (set on a boat sailing the Mediterranean)
Open Road Summer by Emery Lord (set on tour buses as they drive around the country)
Captivate by Vanessa Garden (set in an underwater world that’s not about mermaids)
Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo (set in futuristic Russia)
Frost by Kate Avery Ellison (set in the coldest place in the world, ridden with monsters)

Unique Topics/Premises
From What I Remember by Stacy Kramer and Valerie Thomas (an accidental road trip to Mexico)
Starry Nights by Daisy Whitney (a love story between a modern-day guy and a girl in a painting)
On the Island by Tracey Garvis-Graves (a love story between two stranded survivors, one 18 and one 31)
Delirium by Lauren Oliver (love is a disease)
Unbreak My Heart by Melissa C. Walker (heartbreak over a lost friendship instead of a lost relationship)

So! Agree? Disagree? What are some of the most unique books you’ve read?

There are SO many good books already out and that are coming out this spring, but I just have this feeling that I am going to gravitate towards the cute romantic contemporaries and the travel books. I am SO ready to be done with winter and school, and am really excited for warm weather and vacations!

 

Open Road Summer by Emry Lord
Wish You Were Italian by Kristin Rae
Catch a Falling Star by Kim Culbertson
For Real by Alison Cherry
Broken Hearts, Fences, and Other Things to Mend by Katie Finn
Let’s Get Lost by Adi Alsaid
How to Meet Boys by Catherine Clark
Just Like the Movies by Kelly Fiore
Second Star by Alyssa B. Sheinmel

What’s on your list this spring? Do we have any in common?
Have you read any of these books already?
