Top 5 Wednesday - January 2016

Will be Publishing T5W on the final Wednesday of every month, I just can't seem to find the time to keep up with it all each week.

January 6 - Favorite Fandoms (books, tv, movies, etc)

1. Hannibal, Thomas Harris
2. Harry Potter, JK Rowling
3. A Game of Thrones, George R Martin
4. Jason Bourne, Robert Ludlum
5. Twilight, Stephanie Meyer

All of my choices are books, movies and Tv shows, I organized the list from my most favourite to my least favourite. 

While I have not seen the Tv series that goes with A Game Of Thrones, I have read all the books and seen all the films that go with the other 4. 

*Twilight is the exception to my choices,  I am part of the fan base for the other 4 choices. I am NOT a Twilight fan (although I will admit I enjoyed the first book). The Twilight Fans made the list because they are so hardcore. I find the bickering that goes on within the group - Pro Jacob, Pro Edward, Book 1, 2, 3, 4, ect. - and the fighting that goes on between "twihards" and "anti-twilighters" to be hilarious. I don't think I have ever seen another group of people who are 100% a "diveded united front". Reminds me of a disfunctional family.

January 13 -Favorite Self-Published Books

I thought that this topic was going to be a piece of cake. I mean tons of novels are self-published right? erm no...

1. 50 Shades of Grey, EL James

Sadly this is seems to be my only self-published novel, and of all the book it had to be 50 Shades (of which I am moderately ashamed to have even read)

January 20 - Favorite Buzz Words (words used to describe a book that is a guarantee buy for you)

1. Gory
2. Repulsive
3. Twisted
4. Shocking
5. Taboo

These words hold even more weight if they are "spoken by"  Stephen King or Fearnet. 

The third indicator is a Bram Stoker award, books that have all three are deadly.

January 27 - Disappointing Eye Candy (books that looked beautiful, but the inside did not match up to the outside)

Before I start to seem two faced, I want to clarify that these are not my most hated books. I honestly liked the novels. But the T5W title is "Disappointing  Eye Candy" . Therefore judging them based on the covers they would have all been 5/5 stars but in reality they fell a little short. 

1. Emerald Green, Kerstin Geir 
2. The Twilight Series, Stephenie Meyer
3. Blood and Chocolate, Annette Curtis Klause
4. The Nightmare Affair, Arkwell Academy, Mindee Arnet
5. Wintergirls, Laurie Halse Anderson
