We have a couple in common. I really want to read The Book Thief and Ender's Game soon. I love WG WG and Code Name Verity!
Happy New Year!
My Top Ten
You definitely have to read I Hunt Killers! It's like a requirement for fans of murder mysteries and serial killers! I personally can't wait for the sequel. (:
My TTT & check out my Most Anticipated 2013 Book Giveaway
This is Not A Test and Code Name Verity look fabulous! They're both on my to-read list, even if they're not on my top-ten for this year.
By the way you really should watch The Lying Game, is amazing! I really liked it – I've finished season one yesterday and now I'm waiting for the second one to begin this 8th January (:
Happy New Year!
My Top 10 @ Sara In Bookland
Ender's Game is one of my all-time favorite books. I'm so curious if the movie will do it justice. The biggest reason I'm worried is because Ender is supposed to be so small compared to the other kids and I don't know if they'll be doing that in their casting choices. But we'll see! I like Harrison Ford as Graff.
And The Book Thief is excellent. Very unusual and sad, but excellent.
Matched was alright but the rest of the series was a letdown for me.
Thanks for stopping by my blog! Happy reading in the new year!

Great list. I loved Will Grayson so much, my fave by JG 🙂 Enjoy!
Happy New Year!
My TTT
I read Red Glove but I still need to read Black Heart and also Will Grayson, Will Grayson.
The Book Thief was amazing!
Love The Big Bang Theory as well. Nerds are so much fun 🙂
Happy New Year!
I think I've had The Book Thief on my shelf the longest… should probably pick that one up first.
I am 8 episodes behind on The Lying Game. Thinking I'll be all caught up by the time the third episode of season 2 airs.
Fantastic list. The Book Thief, I Hunt Killers, and Code Name Verity are a few I hope to catch up on this year too.
And I loved Silver Lining Playbook! Happy new year and good luck with all your reading goals.
I Hunt Killers is so good and *very* creepy! Invisibility sounds amazing (especially since it was written in part by David Levithan!). The Book Thief is fantastic, and WGWG is good, as well.
Happy New Year and thanks for stopping by my blog!
Can't wait to get to WG WG and Silver Linings Playbook!!!
Happy New Year!
Great list! I LOVE Will Grayson, Will Grayson! And I will definitely be reading Invisibility this year, too!
Thanks so much for stopping by my TTT! Happy New Year!
i wasn't a big fan of Matched, but I know a ton of people who loved it so i hope you will too! Great picks 🙂
Here's my Top Ten!
Hmm, I didn't care for I Hunt Killers, Matched, Ender's Game, and This is Not a Test. I guess my comment's a downer that can be ignored. Although I did like Partials, and I do need to read The Book Thief. Hope you enjoy the reads this year!
Thanks for visiting my Top Ten.
I'm really excited to read Invisibility, too!
Also, I need to catch up on Smallville, too! I stopped watching about halfway through. But I really want to rewatch the earlier seasons, and then go through the whole series.
Yeah, I've seen various episodes from various seasons of Smallville but I want to sit down and watch it all in order. Can't wait to start!
Great list! Really motivating. Gotta make my own 😉
Thanks Jennifer! Yes, make one! I want to read it!!
i loved the matched trilogy and the book thief.
Argo, The Master, Moonrise Kingdom, Lincoln, The Five Year Engagement, and 21 Jump Street were all good. i want to see Silver Linings Playbook!
Finally saw The Five Year Engagement! It was long but I enjoyed it!
Books: The Book Thief is a great read and you should try get to it if you can. I really like your list and some of those ones were on mine as well!
Movies: The five-year engagement was pretty good and 21 jump street was hilarious in a sometimes ridiculous way.
Thanks! I own The Book Thief and am making a point to go through everything on my shelf this year so I will definitely get to it within the next few months. Most likely adding it to my February or March TBR list. I have a feeling it will be February though.
The Book Thief is a brilliant piece of work and pretty much had me in tears by the end. I hope you enjoy it! Likewise with Code Name Verity, which is one I still have to finish.
Great list. The Book Thief is fantastic and I really loved This is Not a Test. I can't wait until Invisibility comes out in March! Happy reading and I hope you get to read all these this year!
