Top Ten Tuesday: Gateway Books Published 5, 10, 15 Years ago

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish

This week: 

Gateway books published 5, 10, or 15 Years Ago



Fun fact: I took a college a day the day Twilight came out in theaters. The reasons being so I could go to my favorite coffee shop, read Twilight before the movie, and have a date with a boy I had a crush on (who is now my hubby so win win). I have to say that was one of the best days I ever had. 
This book got me back into reading like many of you, and I will always love Twilight for that. 

I read Twilight over, over, and over again. This was one of the first books that got me to end my Twilight reading marathon. I read many of the books, but lost interests after awhile. Too many books in the series for me. 

Harry Potter
I read Harry Potter my first year of college. The obsession was real, and still is. 

The Lightning Thief
Another fun fact: Chris and I love this series so much we named our cat Percy. 
Sadly our Percy isn't brave like Jackson. However when he finds one of my bobby pins he does become entertaining, and he is a lovable little thing. So I guess he has SOME of Jackson's qualities. 
I loved this book, and it introduced me to middle grade reads. 

Catching Fire
This was one of the first sequels that I truly loved. 

Anna and the French Kiss was the first contemporary book I ever loved, and it pushed me to give this genre more of a chance. 

Clockwork Angel
I mean do I need to say anything about this one? Well okay but only one word, Will. 



This bad boy was my introduction to dystopian reads. I was hooked from the first page. Also this was the first book Chris and I read together. 

The Goddess Test introduced me to what I like to call the "pallet cleanser" books. The ones that you read during a book slump, or when you've finished a heavy book that left you drained. It's nice and fluffy. It's a fun read to get you back into the swing of things. 

I really loved Kami in this book. She had a strong personality and unapologetic lived her life the way she wanted, and it was thrilling to read! In another life I would like to think I would be a journalist, and I got to live through Kami. The main female protagonists showed me that not all YA girls are completely dependent on others. 

Question for you: Did this weeks Top Ten make anyone else feel old? I felt older and older with every book I put on this list haha! 
Make sure to leave your links down below =) 
Happy reading,

Healthy Reading Snacks

If you are anything like me you love to snack. As I have mentioned on here before I have been working hard to change my eating habits. So here are some healthy snack ideas that you can try next time you are wanting a nice snack to munch on while reading a great book. Frozen Grapes  The first one if the easiest. You take grapes, wash them, put them in a freezer friendly container, and then put them in the freezer. I like to leave them in the freezer for at least 3 hours. Over night is best. Quick tip: If you have a soar throat frozen grapes feel AMAZING on your throat. My mom use to make them for me when I had strep throat.  If you want something sweet but don't want the guilt, this tea is for you. It is rich and chocolaty with a little kick, and no ingredients that are bad for you.  This is a black tea so it has CAFFEINE. In case you cannot see the tea's name it is Numi Indulgent Tea Chocolate Spice  Zucchini Pizza  What You need : One Me...

Back to School: Percy Jackson Style

As any fangirl or fanboy wherever you go you want to show your love of books. Being lovers of books we are a unique kind. We crush over fictional characters, they become our best friends, when they hurt we hurt. Books are our escape, our passion, our fun, hobby, friend, books are our lives. Pride comes with being a book nerd and it's something you should embrace. These books we love sometimes take over. We love them so much we want to be a part of that world. I wanted to help find ways for you to always feel close to your favorite books and characters. This week I wanted to do Percy Jackson because I mean who doesn't like Percy Jackson?! These outfits are loosely inspired by some of the loved characters from The Percy Jackson series or the book covers. I stayed on pinterest for hours (shocker right?) to find outfits that have simple pieces that you can find in your closet or wouldn't be hard to find for a good price at stores. I also wanted to find outfits that...
