Who is excited for Christmas! I know I am!
I love Christmas it is my favourite holiday of the year, I love the spirit of Christmas everyone is so happy, putting up the Christmas tree, warm fires in the evening times...Christmas pajamas!!! I can't wait, only a few more days to go now....

Today I am doing another Top Ten Tuesday, as most of you know this is a meme that was created by the people over at The Broke and the Bookish and you can check out their blog here for more information about upcoming Top Ten Tuesdays! 

And without further adieu....

Top 10 Books I Wouldn't Mind Santa Leaving Under My Tree This Year

1. Throne of Glass Series by Sarah.J.Maas - (Already cheating on number 1) I know this isn't a book because it is a series, but this series is top priority this Christmas as everyone has been telling me its a must read!
Throne of Glass (Throne of Glass, #1)Crown of Midnight (Throne of Glass, #2)Heir of Fire (Throne of Glass, #3)Queen of Shadows (Throne of Glass, #4)

2. The Assassin's Blade by Sarah.J.Maas- this one is pretty self-explanatory considering what number one was this was kind of a must from what I hear.

3. Ready Player One by Ernest Cline- because this has literally been on my wishlist since last year and still have not bought it yet.

7. To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han- don't really have a reason sometimes if I see a book come up in multiple haul videos it makes me want to get it even before I read the blurb...opps..

But on a serious note remember Christmas is not all about the presents but also of being with family and enjoying each others company. I hope you all have a great Christmas and maybe receive a book or two! Merry Christmas!

Top Ten Tuesday: Top 10 Quotes I loved from books I read in the past year or so...


I am sure most of you guys have heard of this book blog meme by now, but if not it is a weekly feature/meme created by the people over at The Broke and the Bookish. If you would like to learn more about Top Ten Tuesdays or their blog click here
 Today I will be making a list of.....

Top 10 quotes I loved from books I read in the past year or so...

1. “The scar had not pained Harry for nineteen years. All was well.”

― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

2. “But you're so helpless sometimes. It's like watching a kitten with its head trapped in a Kleenex box.” 

― Rainbow Rowell, Fangirl

3. “Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.”

― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

4. “Let your smile change the world, but don't let the world change your smile.”

― Connor Franta, A Work in Progress

5. “Not my daughter, you bitch!”

― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

6. “Every time you post something online you have a choice. You can either make it something that adds to the happiness levels in the world—or you can make it something that takes away.”

― Zoe Sugg, Girl Online

7. “She loved mysteries so much, that she became one.”

― John Green, Paper Towns

8. “It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.”

― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

9. “Nice tights," I snorted. Or I tried to snort, anyway. I'm not exactly sure how, though people in books are always doing it.”

― Rebecca Stead, When You Reach Me

10. “It's a metaphor, see: You put the killing thing right between your teeth, but you don't give it the power to do its killing.”

― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

As you can see from the list above I read The Harry Potter series for the first time at the start of this year...I may add that I found complying this list to be quite hard firstly to remember what books I read in the past year and secondly actually thinking of quotes ( I may have looked up a few)
you see I am not the type of person that remembers quotes easily but that doesn't really bother me, only one or two quotes from Harry Potter have really stuck with me to be honest. I know this is not book related but the only quote that I have ever really remembered and it is my favorite quote to this day is "Happiness is a choice"- Shay Carl

Comment down below your all time favorite quote I would love to hear them, it doesn't have to be book related...
