Top Ten Things On My Reading Wishlist

My picks for the Tuesday Top Ten, as invented by The Broke and Bookish. Today's theme is: Top Ten Things On My Reading Wish-list (if you could make authors write about these things you would. Could be a specific type of character, an issue tackled, a time period, a certain plot, etc.) 

This has got to be one of the strangest lists yet, and I love it, because it allows me to list creatively. So what do I wish authors would write about?

  1. A sci/fi-fantasy story about discovering the lost city of Atlantis.
  2. A sci-fi/horror about an alien abduction victim.
  3. A contemporary fic- about someone who was friends with someone who grew up to be a school shooter. Because you have to wonder just a little how the loved one of such a person didn't see it coming and how they get over that they didn't see.
  4. I want a Dracula-esque vampire. No more falling for teenage girls or blood and sex mash-ups. I want a cold, calculating, emotionless, sinister creature of the night... And let's have it written from the monster's point of view.
  5. Pirates at war with each other.
  6. People lost in the Bermuda triangle.
  7. A close encounter with Bigfoot.
  8. Mermaids lost on land.
  9. A dystopian world without sunlight.
  10. Most of all, I want authors to stop getting their romances all up in my paranormal!

    1. Agreed! I love stories about Atlantis, but I have read/heard of very few. Have you seen the Disney movie? That was fantastic.

    3. There's a book like this out this year. I just can't remember what it's called. *goes to check the coblogger's review* YES, And We Stay by Jenny Hubbard!

    5. I am always up for pirates!

    6. Ermehgerd, yes!

      I saw the Disney movie, it was very cute! back when animations were still animations. I saw this documentary on it once, about these explorers who sub-cam had found what looked like roads on the sea floor and they speculated about what might have happened to sink a city and whether or not they'd found it....And it was just enough to make you think...

      I'll add And We Stay to my reading list!

      Thanks for stopping by!

    I WOULD LOVE AN ATLANTIS STORY! I think that is the Disney lover in me, but I would definitely pick that up in a heartbeat.
    My TTT :)

      I enjoyed the movie, the character of Mole was probably my favorite character, but I think because it is Disney, they had to have certain themes while being child friendly...Not that that's a bad thing, but I'd love to see what someone could do who wasn't worried about keeping to a PG Rating..

The Sunday Post

   Happy Sunday! Welcome to my Sunday Post, a weekly blog news meme hosted by  caffeinatedbookreviewer . My blog is on the small side, so I decided I'll only be posting the first Sunday of each month and I hope you'll join me. The month of February has been eventful. I've had some wild weather in my neck of the woods: real feel listed as 11 degrees one day, switching to 60s and endless rain, and then to dry windstorms that brought trees down. I successfully managed not to freeze, drown, or fly. I became an aunt to a beautiful niece, who just narrowly escaped being a leap year baby, and I'm pretty excited about her arrival. My Kindle Touch was finally lost to the ravages of time but was replaced swiftly with a Kindle Paperwhite. I also reviewed the following stories: Lethal White by Robet Galbraith Training Strategies for Dressage Riders by Charles de Kunffy What Feasts at Night by T.Kingfisher (just released!) Troubled Blood by Robert Galbraith I originally planned to ...

Top Ten Books I Was Assigned to Read in School

Today's Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by ThatArtsyReaderGirl , is all about Books I Was Assigned to Read in School. I've been a lifelong avid reader, but I was always that student that once a story was assigned, I was unlikely to want to read it. Like accidental reverse psychology, I can count on one hand the number of books assigned that I actually liked... three of which made today's list. 1. Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck - I've read 2 Steinbeck novels, this one, and The Red Pony  and I hated them both. I don't get the fascination with him. 2. Animal Farm by George Orwell - This is about communist pigs, if you like that sort of thing which I didn't. 3. The Outsiders by SE Hinton - I know a lot of people absolutely love this book, I'm just not one of them. 4. The Yearling by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings - I was too young to be reading a story this upsetting. 5. Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls - This was also upsetting. 6. The Eye in the Door by Pat ...
