Top 5...#14

Hello again internet! So today i'm going to do another top 5, only this one is more of a sequel to my top 5 #2. It's been a while since i thought over what my books on my kindle are my favourite - so here it is. Top 5 on my kindle round 2!

Here we go!!

5: The Distance Between Us by Kasie West
I really liked this cute little story. I had some issues with how it ended and what happened towards the end, but overall i really enjoyed the book, and if i ever want a cute little pick me up kind of book i'll probably head over to this one. I loved the characters, the story, the interactions between characters, the relationships (family, friends, love...all were great) and i just had a good time reading it.

4: A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin
Oh man do i love a bit of Game of Thrones. I bloody loved reading this on my kindle, because i could carry it around with me and it didn't fill my entire bag like the rest of the series does! (why did i get physical copies of the rest of the books?!) But i love the whole world of the Song Of Ice and Fire series. I love the characters, the way they interact with each other...everything.

3: You're The One That I Want by Giovanna Fletcher
I think everyone knows that i adore a good old romance book, and that's what i thought i was getting - i didn't sign on for the emotions this book caused! Damn you Mrs Fletcher! I absolutely adored reading this and i want more stories about all three of the characters!! Oh man was it good. It twisted and turned so much that i had no idea how it would end, but i knew it would end with my tears no matter what - and i was so right. I love a book that can make me happy cry.

2: Something Like Lightning by Jay Bell (Storms book one)
Speaking of happy crying...and sad crying...and everything in between. I think that it comes as a surprise to literally no one that i love Jay Bell's writing, and Something Like Lightning was oh so perfect. I loved Kelly. I loved Nathaniel. I loved William. I even loved Jason. And oh man am i happy that my three favourite people made a return! I could read about the characters in Jay Bell's world forever and still want more. I cannot express how much i enjoyed this book, and it had me in tears and laughing in equal measures, and that's all i want in a book.

1: Something Like Winter by Jay Bell (Seasons book two)
Now this is a surprise...yeah thought not. Something Like Winter is easily in my top 3 favourite books of all time - right up there with The Catcher in the Rye and Thirteen Reasons Why, and i cannot tell you how much i love it. Tim is pretty much my favourite fictional character to read about ever (so i was super happy we saw him in Lightning!) and getting to see the story i loved so much from Something Like Summer told from his perspective was SO GOOD and i couldn't have asked for more. It was the perfect addition to a story i already adored, and i just can't explain how happy i am that i found this series, and that i found out about Jay Bell in general. If you still haven't read any of his books, stop what you're doing and go read one...or all of them! Seriously, Jay Bell can do no wrong, his books are my happy place. They're always exactly what i want, and i love them all so much. Pretty much all of his books are on my kindle so take this spot as a mix of it SLW being first, and Jay Bell in general being first.

Top 5...#2

Back again with another top five :) this time it's: Top 5 on my kindle

I love my kindle and I love all the books on there (that I've read...) so some of these were pretty hard to think of :) 

5: The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe
Poe is my favourite poet by far and The Raven is what made me want to read more from him. I'm pretty sure this was the second thing I downloaded as soon as I got my kindle because I wanted to read it again and again, without taking a massive collection of Poe around with me. 

4: Dracula by Bram Stoker
This was the first thing I downloaded onto my kindle, and it's basically just because I love the story so much. Including my kindle edition I have about 6 copies of this book I think? I love it. 
And this is my kindle cover, it's love.

3: Les Misérables by Victor Hugo
Ugh I love les mis! I love the stage version, the film, the book, everything. And I love that I can read this when I'm travelling without having to carry around a 900 page book!

2: Superheroes: The Best of Philosophy and Pop Culture by William Irwin
I adore the philosophy and pop culture books, and when I downloaded this one I think that took my total to about 8 different ones that I own? I love philosophy more than most things, and superheroes are something I've loved since I was tiny (thanks to my big brother) and this book was just amazingly wonderful to read.

1: The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
I really, really wanted to read this ages and ages ago but I couldn't find it anywhere so I downloaded it and fell completely, 100%, madly in love with it. I have the rest of the series in physical form, but I still love that I have this one on my kindle and not physical copy because it's how I fell in love with the world and I like remembering that when I re-read it (like I am now) :).
