Original Top Ten Tuesday Prompt: Ten books to read if you’re in the mood for _____
Revised Prompt Because I’m an Obnoxious Little Rebel: Books to read if you’re feeling one or all of the seven deadly sins (you are don’t lie). Basically, for each sin I shall select a book parallel. Basically, this post has nothing to do with the original Top Ten Tuesday prompt. Basically, I have no idea what I’m doing.
1. Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi
Warner is a CRAZY little pumpkin in this book. I mean, he seems like the creepiest, most atrocious, most disgusting little villain. The whole lust thing? Not a good look for him.
BUTβare things really as they seem? Is this deadly sin even present, or is it all in Juliette’s perception? I suppose you’ll just have to read it to find out.
(Would I kill it as a car salesman or what)
2. Carry On by Rainbow Rowell
This book takes breaks from plotting against evil monsters and murderers in order to eat and talk about eating and to describe the eating.
Not going to lie, this pleases me. Immensely.
3. Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
Thieves & heists & money OH MY!
Though there are a few other motivations sprinkled across these pages, characters generally launch an epic heist for the money. Just saying.
4. The Selection by Kiera Cass
While the official definition of sloth is: Laziness, unwillingness to work, the protagonist in this book features another form.
SLOTH IN DECISION-MAKING.
Let’s take a step into our MC’s mind: Should I choose to marry this prince who is lovely and rich and powerful and kind or should I marry this poor boy who’s a pathetic jerk? You know what, I’ll just take three books to MAKE UP MY MIND.
Good heavens.
5. The Wrath and the Dawn by RenΓ©e Ahdieh
Basically, Sharzhad marries the king so that she can kill him in his sleep as revenge. No biggie.
I mean…it’s called The Wrath and the Dawn.
6. Tiny Pretty Things by Sona Charaipotra & Dhonielle Clayton
Where there is professional ballerina-ing, there is envy.
A rough summary of this book: Your pirouettes are better than mine? I am envious let me back stab you. You have a better arch than mine? I am envious let me back stab you. You get the lead part and I didn’t? I am envious let me back stab you. And so on.
7. Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
Celaena’s pride can triumph through anything.
Slaving away in Endovier? Memories of the many innocents killed? Not taking a shower for a year or two?
NOTHING STOPS HER PRIDE.
Which of the seven deadly sins have you committed today? Let’s have a blogging confessional in which you tell me ALL YOUR SECRETS.
They are DELICIOUS
I love Shatter Me,The Selection and Throne of Glass so much!
RIGHT?! WHY. He’s a prince. Enough said.
NOW I AM HUNGRY. I need a bookish menu. Chocolate. Pie. Potatoes.
YOUR DESCRIPTION FOR THE SELECTION SERIES πππLike seriously America it’s not that hard. Why couldn’t Kiera Cass focus more on the worldbuilding and political intrigue (I mean there are rebels for God’s sake that barely appear in the first two books) instead of the stupid love triangle? Oh well even though they’re frustrating they’re also entertaining haha. Also yes to Carry On + gluttony. Damn reading that one made me hungry
Haha. Thank you. With that encouragement, I shall take myself to Amazon and once again burden my credit card with book purchases.
She sure is feisty! UGH I WILL SLAP AMERICA THAT GIRL CAN NOT MAKE UP HER MIND.
I LOVE this! Celaena’s pride, I agree so much! Hahaha! The Selection too, I was so frustrated at some points of the book.
THANKS a BUNCHES
HAHAHAHA loved this! I can’t stop laughing at all of these!
Thanks a bunches! Only in the beginning….but it is enough.
Go forth and read Throne of Glass, my child. *blesses you*
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Thanks! You must! You must read them all! I shall forgive your bookish sins. *blesses you*
Thanks! HOW HARD OF A DECISION IS IT TO MAKE, AMERICA???
Ooh, you must read them all! Go forth in peace, my child.
Haha! I love this. It is a very create take on the TTT. I am intrigued by all the not showering happening on Throne of Glass.
I LOVE THIS BLOG POST SO MUCH
I love your topic! It’s really creative and fun. I really want to read Six of Crows, it just seems right up my alley and I already loved her Grisha trilogy. I very much agree with your choice for sloth. Decision making is apparently incredibly hard…
Hahaha what a great list! I have to agree with you about sloth. That is one slow-decision-making, haha. I didn’t read any of these books except for that one and Shatter Me…but I want to read them all, ahah. π
Well, I live to please/make you laugh so hard. Thanks for reading, chum!
I just laughed so hard at your comment on the Selection. Sloth in decision making is so true.
Why, thank you!
No, I haven’t π¦ I am a young little duckling.
You’re awesome! Why I’m glad.
Great interpretation of the prompt, and great picks.
(And you haven’t heard of Se7en? I feel old.)
I love this post! It’s awesome. π I definitely agree with your choices for sloth and pride.
Oh, it’s an old thriller. π
Ooh, I haven’t heard of it. I’ll have to check it out! Thanks a bunches π
Okay…you are so awesome! Thank you!
Haha thanks π
This post reminded me of the movie SE7EN with Brad Pitt! What a fun idea and great choices!
Okay…. this was so awsome! Loved this post Becca! π
THANKS! Yay, good for you, reading your way across sin! You are forgiven, my child. Go in peace.
This is a great theme and a great way to do your post, loved it! I have read Shatter Me, The Wrath and the Dawn, The Selection and Throne of Glass. Six of Crows is in my TBR and I hope to read it soon so maybe Greed? haha But I started school today, and out of the six classes in my generation one finished their day at 12.15 am while I had to stay until 2.30pm and what? I felt envy there haha It’s not really envy but… π
Thanks! You must, my child. You must. Amen.
I love your revision of this week’s TTT! I have only read The Selection of your list (and only the first thus far! XD) but I want to read many of the others!
Thanks! Your everything is SPOT ON.
Your pick for envy is SPOT ON.
Thank you! Read them all and read them well, my child. *blesses you*
I absolutely love your take on this week’s TTT! And I am feeling rather like all seven sins…I guess that means I gotta read all these books!
