Top Ten Books/Characters That Inspire Me

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

This week: 


Ten Books That Feature Characters: that inspire me 


Melody cannot walk or talk caused by cerebral palsy. Even though Melody cannot talk the reader is reading from her perspective, and we get to see what is going on in her mind. This books is heartbreaking, inspiring, and above all else eye opening. 


Lysa TerKeurst inspires me as woman in general, but she really inspired me when I learned she wrote Uninvited while going through her divorce. 


Just about all the characters in The Hunger Games inspire me. They had to make sacrifices and choices that I could never imagine doing. They were in the midis of a upraise, and were inspiring in the processes. 


I HAVEN'T READ THE LAST BOOK, so this is coming from the first two. I love how Lara Jean doesn't let anyone change her. She grows at her own pace, and she doesn't work hard on trying to be popular. Instead she works hard to be the person she wants to be. She strives to grow and mature not to reach the status Que 


Veronica fights to have the job she has always desires. She is hardheaded, independent, and has a heart of gold. She may not want everyone to know it, but she truly does. Mckenna is strong and lovable. She doesn't let anything put doubt in heart about herself, the people she loves, or her faith in their creature. I just love these two girls and their friendship. 


Oh my goodness I don't think I can explain how all of these characters inspire me. They all have troubles and problems, but they fight through them. They never give up fighting to live or on one another. I seriously get teary eyed just thinking about it. 


These women have battled depression, anxiety, miscarriages, and traumatic childhoods. I look up to these ladies in so many ways for their bravery and strength. 

  Again this is a series that all the main characters are amazing and inspiring. I love how each book gives another character to look up to. 

I mean, I don't think I have to say anything about this one right? 


Kestrel is so intelligent, and she uses her wits and minds to play the political games. I love how she shows that you don't have to always be the strong physical female character. Your mind can be your greatest weapon. 


That my friends is my list of books that feature characters that inspire me.  I would love to see your list so please leave your links in the comments =) 
Happy reading y'all,

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...

BACK TO SCHOOL: Schools in Books

This week on Back to School I wanted to help you guys feel in sync with some great characters. I wanted to pick some books for you guys that I love that take place in school environments. Now school will not be the main point or problem these characters go through, but they do go through some of the tough situations and stress you guys do at school. Some characters live on campus and deal with the drama of being independent for the first time, missing home, the struggle of finding who they truly are, drama, and parties. College is a hard time for many people because you are finding your own self on your own terms. Mommy and daddy aren't there to tell you what to do or how to act. Some struggle while others flourish.   I HAD to put girls in this post that loved to learn and enjoyed the structure of school. I sometimes forget that learning can be looked at on a bright note. It's hard to remember that when you have 5 gazillion papers to write. I picked two girls I thought...

Review: Becoming Alpha by Aileen Erin

Title: Becoming Alpha  Author: Aileen Erin  Genre: Paranormal Fantasy  Pages: 267 Goodreads Overall Rating: 4.11 Published:  December 17th, 2013 by Ink Monster, LLC   My Rating:  I can’t do that. I can’t turn my emotions off and on like that. I’m either all in or all out. And if you can’t do that—if I don’t come first, then for God’s sake, leave me alone. Becoming Alpha is the true definition of YA paranormal fantasy and I devoured it. Erin took troupes that are known in YA and ran with them in fun, plausible, and exciting ways while taking her own spin on them. I sped through this book and right after I downloaded the next book in the series because I couldn't wait for the two-day shipping of the physical book.  At the beginning of the book, we meet our main character Tessa and her family. Tessa has an unusual gift and it has marked her as the odd girl out at and causing her to feel isolated. With her family...
