The Infernal Devices TV Show

        I saw this picture on Instagram and wasn't happy. If most of y'all haven't noticed, the majority of book to TV adaptions, are wayyyyy off. Some examples would be Game of Thrones, True Blood, Pretty Little Liars, Gossip Girl, The Lying Game, and more. With all of these shows, they are so far off book, that there is absolutely no need to read the books, which, to be honest, ticks me off. If producers and TV show creators are going to make a book to a TV show, they should at least have the deceny to stay by the book. People tend to get lazy and not read the book. They're all like, "There's no need to read the book. I'll just watch the show." Ummmm..... Yeah. You do need to read book. Everything will make a lot more sense. The Infernal Devices is perfect as it is. There's absolutely no need to try and make it a TV show, because the producers are going to mess it all up. It may sound harsh, but its true. They just need to leave it alone.

Top 13 Books of 2013

            So today, I’m going to be telling my top books of 2013. Now, most of them I think won’t actually have been published in 2013, but you get the idea. 

Best Contemporary 
Anna and the French Kiss By Stephanie Perkins
 I will forever love this book. I admit, I read this last year, but I reread it during the Christmas BookTubeAThon to get out a reading slump and it totally worked. As cheesy as the synopsis may be, it’s a great book that everyone should read.







 Best Assassin Book
Grave Mercy By Robin LaFevers
I had been eying this book ever since I saw an ad for in Seventeen. When it finally became available at my library, I couldn’t put it down. Sure it’s a bit long, but this is definitely worth reading.

Best Standalone
Fangirl By Rainbow Rowell
Do I need to say more?













Best Aliens
Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout
So glad that I picked this up. 
This will always be my favorite alien series of all time.











Best Non Werewolf
Nightshade by Andrea Cremer
This series is not about werewolves, just to be clear. 
They are shifters. Totally different.












Best Simone Elkeles
Wild Cards By Simone Elkeles
As always, Simone never disappoints.

 










Best Vampire
Vampire Academy By Richelle Mead
If it wasn't for my best friend pushing me to read this, I would have never discovered one of my new favorite author. 

 










Best Spin-Off
 Bloodlines By Richelle Mead
It took me a while to get used to Sydney, because I kept expecting her to be like Rose because I was used to Rose being a badass. But Sydney isn't Rose and I'm okay with that. Every book gets better and better. I haven't read the newest book yet, so no spoilers! 


Best Underrated Series
Poison Study By Maria V. Snyder
Do not hesitate!!! Check this series out now! Or buy it. Whatever floats your boat. You will not be disappointed. 















Best End to Series
Clockwork Princess By Cassandra Clare 
This book is number one on my favorites list. It answered all questions and left me satisfied. 

Best Hybrid
What's Left of Me By Kat Zhang 
I've never read anything like this before. It was just so interesting. I couldn't put it down. I haven't read the second one yet. No spoilers!!! 

 










Best Sequel 
The Evolution of Mara Dyer By Michelle Hodkin
Love. Love. Love It!!! Absolutely loved it. The only problem was that it needed to be longer in my opinion so it wouldn't have ended so quickly.











Best Summer Romance
My Life Next Door By Huntley Fitzpatrick 
This book.......This is the perfect summer read. It was perfect. When Sam and Jace fell in love, it wasn't immediate, which is great.  5 out of 5 stars!! Great job Huntley!!!
