Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted over at The Broke and the Bookish.

This week's prompt: 
Top Ten things on my bookish bucket list
*ok so I had never heard of a bucket list before so I thought it was a yearly thing but now I found out that it's a list of life long goals to accomplish so I am just tweaked this post a bit*
1. Read 3000 books atleast.
2. Build a huge study room filled wall to wall with books I love and build a tiny book nook in it.
3. Build a book nook on the roof with glass casing so I can read under the stars.
4. Attend comic con and a few other cons.
5. Intract with the authors. I have never interacted with an author except for the one time I sent a fan girl message to Suzzane Selfors, and she replied I was all giddy inside. I would love to meet Veronica Roth, Jim Butcher, Simon R. Green, Rae arson and several others.
6. Win a giveaway or ARC.
7. Become a millionaire so I can buy a million books and book stuff with my money.
8. Make my blog worth reading and write and publish a book worth reading.
9. Make some awesome bookaholic friends online . (yes I am talking to you fellow bookworm)
10. Make people I know, who aren't bookworms into one. ( I succeed in making my cousin into one last year)

Top Ten Tuesday #2: Top Ten Kick-Ass Heroines.

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted over at The Broke and the Bookish.
My chosen top ten prompt:
"Top ten Kick-Ass Heroines"
I love a kick ass character and I love a kick ass heroine even more most of my favourite Books have strong willed, brave and fierce heroines in it. But they all have soft spots hidden underneath fierce determination.

1. Karrin Murphy: The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher.

A blond, button nosed five foot nothing, no shit taking, fierce, driven and beautiful woman. She has kicked asses of all sorts vampires, zombies, trolls and everything in between. Trained with the warriors of Valhalla and beaten down men and beings thrice her size and has saved and kicked Dresden's (the portagonist) ass multiple times.

“If you make some comment even obliquely alluding to menstruation or menopause and its effect on my judgment," Murphy interrupted, "I will break your arm in eleven places.” 

― Karrin MurphyChanges

2. Molly Metcalf: Secret Histories by Simon R. Green:

She a witch feared and respected by all but mostly feared, has the looks of a china doll, and isn't afraid of anyone. Is infamous and mischievous she has made pacts with heaven and hell and is know to turn people into a variety of animals if they piss her off.                       
3. Molly Carpenter: The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher.
She just plain amazing and total kickass, a wizard with a knack for illusions.
She has amazing power and is very bold.


4. Celaena Sardothien: Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Mass.

She is an assassin young and daunting, not completly fearless but she knows how to break bones and decapitate heads with extreme ease.
“My name is Celaena Sardothien. But it makes no difference if my name's Celaena or Lillian or Bitch, because I'd still beat you, no matter what you call me.” ― Celaena Sardothien, Throne of Glass

5. Katsa: Graceling by Kristin Cashore:
Katsa is a strong willed and a great ass kicker. Her grace (power) is supreme combat skills. In her world particallyno one can defeat her in combat.
“You won't even take your bow? Are you planning to throttle a moose with your bare hands, then?"
"I've a knife in my boot," she said, and then wondered, for a moment, if she could throttle a moose with her bare hands.” ― Kristin CashoreGraceling
6. Katniss Everdeen: Hunger Games by Suzzane Collins.
I don't think that this name needs any introduction she's amazing, smart, brilliant, brave and strong willed. She's awesome with a bow and arrow and totally kicks butt always!
“Katniss, the girl who was on fire!” 


7. June Iparis: Legend by Marie Lu.
She is a intelligent, brave,noble and a soldier.


8. Shotgun Suzie: Nightside by Simon R. Green.

She's a bounty hunter, can probably kill anything and is tremendously feared. She's too hardcore for the SAS and hence was kicked out because of it. Suzie also has a dark background story.
“My Suzie, also known as Shotgun Suzie, also known as Oh Christ It's Her, Run.” 


9. Tris Prior: Divergent by Veronica Roth.
She is brave, she is selfless, she is brilliant in every way. She fights back and she sacrifices.

10. Jarra Tell Morrath: Earth Girl by Janet
Edwards.
Jarra doesn't literally kick butt in the book but she is still an amazing brave and ambitious character and deserves a spot between the kick ass heroines.

Top Ten Tuesday #1: Top ten reasons I love being a reader/book blogger..


Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted over at The Broke and the Bookish.
This my first TTT so I am super excited to do this :)
This week's question:

"Top ten reasons I love being a reader/book blogger"

1. I love being a reader because...There's an Adventure on every page.

As a fiction lover when I read I get to visit new worlds, new realities places where one can never go, to whole different dimensions and time frames. Into multiple minds and head spaces. Reading expands the mind and opens it, reading fiction especially nurtures our imagination. And that's why I love reading
because it takes me to epic places each and every time.

2. I love being a blogger because...I can meet amazing people.

I am a fairly new blogger it's only been about more than a month since I started, and during this short period of time I have interacted with so many awesome people, people who I can relate to, with whom I can talk about my excessive book feels and it's amazing!

3. I love being a reader because...I escape from reality.

I can escape from reality, from the constant stress and pressure of real life. When I read book I go blind, deaf and dumb to the people around me and totally dive into the world of fiction. I crawl into the words and live there forgetting my thoughts and worries. No matter how angry, annoyed or stressed I am books always cheer me up. To me they are like life support or a lazy buoy or even a bunker. I completely and utterly lose myself in books and I love it!

4. I love being a reader because...of the FEELS!

I love feeling the emotions and growing fond of the characters. I love the book feels love them love them love them ! I love laughing with the character feeling there happiness there sorrows their emotions all the while forgetting my own. I love living their lives along with them.

5. I love being a reader because...of these books:

6. I love being a blogger because...I can share my feels.

I can express my feels, my love and my passion for books. I can share my thoughts with amazing people. Get recommendations and connect with readers all around the world.

7. I love being a reader because...of the people IN the books <3

I love reading books because of all the amazing people I get to meet in the books. The heroes, the villains, the damsels, the warriors, the angels, the humans, the magicals and let's not forget the book boy friends *sigh*


8. I love being a reader because...it increases my knowledge and nurtures my imagination.

Many people would disagree with me saying that reading fiction doen't contribute to knowledge well guess what Einstien disagrees with you :p
“If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.” 
― Albert Einstein

9. I love being a reader because...books change us.

No matter what kind of a book we read it leaves an everlasting impression on us. Movies and music tend to leave these sort of impressions to but they are too dim and rare compared to the book. Books change us shape us the create us. They play a great part in shaping a reader's way of thinking and opens a persons mind to new things. They effect us on a spritual and physcological level and that's why thery are soo epic :)


10. I love being a reader because... they are so much FUN!
