Book Traveling Thursday (#19) Movie

Hello everyone! It’s almost the weekend. I have a three day weekend coming up and am so excited. It’s time for Book Traveling Thursday. This meme is hosted by  Catia @ The Girl Who Read Too Much and Danielle @ Danielle’s Book Blog. You definitely need to check their blogs out if you haven’t already. To find out more information, future themes and more, go to the meme’s Goodreads page here. This week’s theme is:

Choose a book you would want to see as a movie or TV show.

There are countless books that I want to be made into a movie. I’m not too sure about a TV show. I have chosen a great book that I’ve read recently. It’s called Everything,Everything by Nicola Yoon. I raved about it in a review that you can find  here. It would definitely make an amazing movie.

Original Cover/Cover from My Country (US):

What a beautiful cover!

Favorite Cover(s):

Spanish

Portuguese

Turkish

My favorite out of these is probably.. the Spanish one. The cover is just so beautiful!

Least Favorite(s):

Czech

Dutch

Hungarian

My least favorite is probably the Czech one. It’s terrible to look at. The Hungarian one would be perfect if it wasn’t for all the hearts.

Top Ten Tuesday: On A Whim

Hey guys! I apologize for missing last week’s TTT. At least I’m doing it this week! Top Ten Tuesday is an amazing meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. You definitely should check them out if you haven’t already 🙂 This week’s topic is:

Ten Books I Picked Up On A Whim (however you decide to interpret that (bought or read or something else) — I know most people read based on recommendation but we want to know those books you picked up without really hearing about or knowing much about!)

I’ll be doing Ten Books I Read On a Whim.

---

Ten Books I Read On a Whim:

1. Openly Straight by Bill Konigsberg

As of right now, I haven’t started reading this. I haven’t heard about it and only have read the summary on the inside flap. I’m sure it’ll be good!

2. Dumplin’ by Julie Murphy

This was an amazing book that I had heard little about. If you haven’t read it yet, I definitely recommend you give it a try.

3. Hour of  The Bees by Lindsay Eager

This was another amazing book that I came across. It’s about a girl who has to help her family move her grandpa. Her grandpa has dementia so he sometimes randomly acts out and does strange things. I did a  review on it here if you’re interested.

4. Divergent by Veronica Roth

This is and was when I read it, such a popular book. Some how, I managed not to hear too much about it. I am glad it wasn’t spoiled for me.

5. Insurgent by Veronica Roth

Just like Divergent, I hadn’t heard much about it. I definitely recommend reading books 1 and 2 in this series.

6. Dead End in Norvelt by Jack Gantos

This was a brilliant book.

7. Wonder by R.J. Palacio

8. Return to Sender by Julia Alvarez

This was on a reading list at school. I didn’t know much about it and definitely enjoyed it. You should read it!

9. Survivors The Empty City by Erin Hunter

I know I rave about this series a lot but it’s absolutely amazing! I recommend it to younger readers who love fantasy, adventure, and animals. You have to be able to stand some violence though.

10. Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon

This is probably cheating a bit. This book has been recommended to me. I’m reading it right now and I love it so much. I definitely recommend reading it.

---

That’s a wrap! Have you read any of these books? If you have, what did you think about them? As always, don’t spoil anything. 

Thanks for reading and stay tuned for next week’s Top Ten Tuesday!

This was such an amazing book! You definitely need to read it. You can check out my review here.

I read one other book but it’s a graphic novel and a cheesy children’s book. I won’t picture it here.

---

Currently Reading:

OMG! I love this book so much. I haven’t gotten to any major parts yet. I luckily haven’t had much spoiled since many of you have already read this. I am looking forward to doing a review once I’m finished. You need to give this a read if you haven’t already 🙂

---

I’ve heard mixed things about this book. I’m glad I’m starting to read more YA books 🙂
