Have you ever been really excited to read a beautiful book you found in the corner of a bookstore only to find out it’s terrible? We all have. This week I’m going to talk about the baddest of the bad — the characters who just embody “BADASS.” To me, a “badass” means you go against the grain without a care in the world and everyone kind of loves you for it. Here are my favorites: 1. Jace Wayland — The Mortal Instruments Jace was most likely the first true “bad boy” I ran into in my reading endeavors. I read The Mortal Instruments when I was much too young and impressionable and…
Top 10 Tuesday: Re-Reads
Top 10 Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in 2010. It combines what I love most in this world into one—lists, books, and blogging. It couldn’t be any better suited for me! This week I’ve decided to let you guys know about the books I’ve read, but would really like to read again for various reasons. Let’s go! 1. The Catcher in the Rye by J.D.

I just want maybe one more book that outlines their relationships as…
Top 5 Wednesday: Supporting Characters
This weeks Top 5 Wednesday is all about side characters that deserve their own story. This one’s going to be tough. 1. Severus Snape – Harry Potter If anyone deserves a series about their life, I truly believe it is Professor Snape. I would love to read a book from his perspective about being best friends with Lily, his time at Hogwarts, his life as a death eater and more and more and more. As I’ve said before on this blog, I love hearing both sides to every story. And Snape’s story is one of the most exciting ones I’ve ever almost heard. 2. Patrick – Perks of Being a Wallflower I like…
