Top 5 Wednesday - March



March 2 - Biggest Book Hangovers
  1. The Daughter of Smoke and Bone Trilogy, Laini Taylor *How could anyone write a blended reality/fantasy world as perfect as this one? 
  2. The Hannibel Lecter Quartet, Thomas Harris  * the perfect villain, it doesnt get any better than Hannibal the Cannibal, the original serial killing psychopath
  3. The Lord of the Rings, JRR Tolkein 
  4. Redwall, Brian Jaques
  5. It , Stephen King
March 9 - Books That Feature Time TravelThis is a hard one, I know lots of novels that are about time travel but I havn't read many. Its not one of my big "hunted for" topics. Had to search quite a ways through goodreads
  1. Miss Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children, Ransom Riggs
  2. 11/22/63
  3. Ruby Red, Kerstin Gier
  4. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban *Hermione
  5. Dark Hunters, Sherrylin Kenyon *this one is a bit of a stretch there is the ability to time travel and there are lots of immortals, but I can't remember reading a scene where they actually jumped through time
March 16 - Fictional Items You Want (Invisibility Cloak from HP, Amplifiers from Grisha, etc)So I am not going to repeat novels, because its kind of a specific question and I would honestly rather put myself in several worlds vs having an object (also not naming powers)
  1. Time Turner, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, JK Rowling *or Mrs. Weasly's wand (because it cooks and cleans and keeps house)
  2. Wish Tokens, Daughter of Smoke and Bone, Lani Taylor
  3. Gwens wardrobe, Precious Stone Trilogy, Kerstine Gier
  4. The curse from Thinner, Stephen King *you can eat anything you want and lose weight (eventally you do die from this so id modify it just to not gain weight from my ideal.. cake for days!)
  5. Talking Leopard, Icemark, Stuart Hill *not sure if I can pick this not exactly an item

I had a much harder time with this question than I thought I would, I just couldnt think of actual items powers yes, places yes, things maybe not so much?

March 23 -Books You DNF
I am big on finishing even if I really don't like the book so
  1. Wicked, Gregory Maguire * I stopped about 100 pages in
  2. The Catcher in the Rye, JD Salinger *I was so close to the end, someone spoiled for me, I was reading it for school, I had what I needed for my reports and such. Really didn't like it.
March 30 - Least Favorite Book in Your Favorite Series
This is so hard I have been struggling with all the questions this month and this is just the perfect ending to wrap it up with. Trying not to chose final novels because I have done a few posts on my least favourite endings already and obviously it can't be the first novels because if I wasn't thrilled with #1 I don't continue the books
  1. The Crow, #3 The Books of Pellinor Quartet, Allison Croggon
  2. Hell To Pay, #7 The Nightside Series, Simon R Green
  3. Red Dragon, Hannibal Lecter Quartet 
  4. The Days of Blood and Starlight, Daughter of Smoke and Bone Trilogy, Laini Taylor
  5. Odd Hours, #4 Odd Thomas, Dean Koontz
