April 25, 2017April 25, 201715 Comments

Hey everyone! I’m back for a minute or two after yet another hiatus. I definitely can’t promise that I’ll ever have a solid schedule. It’s time for another Top Ten Tuesday post! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the wonderful bloggers @ The Broke And The Bookish. Go check them out for more information about this weekly meme and so much more! This week’s topic is:

Top Ten Things That Will Make Me Instantly Want To Read A Book

Ten Things That Make Me Want To Read A Book:

The Summary!

If it has a fantastic summary, that really sells it for me. The summary is everything!!

2. The Cover!

I am someone who is likely to judge a book by its cover. If it has a beautiful, interesting or eye-catching cover, I’m likely to give it a try!

3. The Length!

If it’s a longer book, there’s a higher chance I’ll read it. Short books are definitely not my style.

4. The Writing Style!

I’m not too picky about the writing style. The only style I won’t read is verse. That’s definitely not my thing.

5. The Author!

If it’s an author I know/have read, I will most likely give it a read. Especially if it’s part of a series!

That’s a wrap! I could only think of five specific book “turn ons” What persuades you to pick up a book? Let me know!

Thanks for reading and stay tuned for more Top Ten Tuesdays!

Top Ten Tuesday| Comic Book Villains

October 5, 2016October 5, 20166 Comments

Hey everyone! I’m so sorry for being MIA once again. Anyway, It’s time for another Top Ten Tuesday! This weekly meme is hosted by the fantastic people @ The Broke and the Bookish! You definitely need to check their blog out if you haven’t already. This week’s topic is:

All About The Villains–top ten favorite/most compelling villains in books, top ten of the most vile villains/bad guys in books, top ten villains I secretly (or not so secretly) love, favorite tv villains, favorite comic book villains, ten “villains” of contemporary lit.

As you can probably tell by the title, I have chosen to do ten comic book villains. They may or may not be my favorites. Who knows?

Ten Comic Book Villains!

1. Joker-DC Universe (Batman)

He’s so creepy, the enemy of Batman and has such a strange laugh. What’s not to love?

2. Doctor Octopus or Doc Ock- Marvel Comics (Spiderman)

He has so many metal arms and he’s one of the many enemies of Spiderman.

3. Mr. Freeze- DC Universe (Batman)

He’s a man who can freeze his enemies in his path (*wink, wink*)

4. Sandman-Marvel Comics (Spiderman)

He uses sand as his weapon, and you won’t see it coming.

5. Harley Quinn- DC Comics (Batman)

She uses a huge hammer as her weapon and she gets to be dressed as a jester. Instead of telling jokes, she’s hammering you to bits.

6. Venom- DC Comics (Spiderman)

A creature who can take over other bodies. He then uses them to his advantage. Himself alone, is frightening. His voice is terrifying and his attacks dangerous.
