Hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

Top Ten Books (On My Shelf) That I'd Play Hooky With...

1.  The Mercy Thompson series...I'm reading the first book right now and I'm hopelessly hooked on this series.  I can hardly wait to see what happens as the series progresses!

2. The Hero's of Olympus series...I've got the first 2 books in this series sitting on my bookcase waiting for me to read them.  I've heard a lot of really great things about this author and I can hardly wait to start reading.

3. Lover Awakened... This is my absolute favorite book so far in the BDB series.  I LOVE Z and Bella's story!  I could keep reading it over and over and over again.

4. The Lightning Thief... I saw the movie when it first came out and really liked it a lot.  I hadn't read the books and recently I downloaded the first book onto my Nook Tablet.  I can hardly wait to play hooky with it!

5. The Hunger Games trilogy... My friend and I went and saw the movie yesterday.  LOVED it!  Now I want to re-read all the books.

6. The Night Huntress series... Cat and Bones!  I've got the whole series I just need to sit down and read them all!

7. The Fever series.... Again, another series that after reading a TON of really good reviews for that I picked up on a whim.

8. Divergent .... I really want to re-read this book before Insurgent comes out in a few weeks!

I'm gong to stop there since I have WAY more than 10 books included in this list.  Leave me a link to your Top 10 list and I'll be sure to drop by and say Hi!

Top Ten Tuesday ~ The 10 Books I'd save if My House was on Fire!

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created here at The Broke and the Bookish. This feature was created because we are particularly fond of lists here at The Broke and the Bookish. We'd love to share our lists with other bookish folks and would LOVE to see your top ten lists!

So this list is going to show off my UBER-eclectic side today. Oh, and I'm also lumping some of my all time favorite series into one too. Don't forget to leave me a link to your list and I'll be sure to drop by and check it out.  Also, if your interested I have a giveaway going on.

The Top Ten Books I'd Save if My House was on Fire!

1. Divergent by Veronica Roth - I picked this book up after being in a major reading slump and tore right through it.  To me Divergent is my second favorite dystopian YA series right behind The Hunger Games.

2. The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins - This is the first ever dystopian series I've ever read.  This series totally turned me on to the genre.  I'm still ticked off at myself for waiting as long as I did to read this series.  My co-workers threatened to disown me if I didn't read it.

3. The Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J.R. Ward - My first foray into "adult" vampires.  Zsadist is my all time favorite story so far.  I can hardly wait to continue on with this series so fire be damned!

4. Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry - This book is EPIC.  One of my all time favorite books EVER.  There are a lot of things I can do without but Lonesome Dove is not one of them. 

5. Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi - I don't know what it was exactly about this book that had me buying it much less reading it but I LOVED it.  I really enjoyed the premise of the book a lot and the characters and story flow kept me engaged and connected.

6. Legend by Marie Lu - Another book that had a TON of hype around it prior to it's release.  I have yet another book boyfriend in Day.  There is a considerable amount of action in this book which kept the pace really clipping along.

7. Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls - In grade school this was my all time favorite book.  I remember my 4th grade teacher read it to us in class everyday and it was a class favorite.  The only downside to this book is the ending.

8. The Little House on the Prarie series by Laura Ingalls Wilder - Another childhood favorite.  I live only a few hours from Pipin where the series starts out.

9. No Mercy by Lori Armstrong - Hands down my favorite mystery I've read so far.  I literally picked this book up on whim and tore through it like a bat out of hell.

10. My Nook/library card - because I to read.  If I don't read or do something to stimulate my brain bad things happen.
