Top Ten Books To Save If My House Was Abducted By Aliens (Top Ten Tuesday #1)

So I decided to start doing Top Ten Tuesdays! Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly event hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week's theme:
Top 10 books to save if my house was abducted by aliens.


1. Harry Potter Series
I am a hardcore potterhead, so there's no was that I'm not bringing this with me. Plus it was my mother's, so she could help me carry the series and run while aliens attack our house anyway.

2. Sherlock Holmes - Arthur Conan Doyle
Here I am referring to the Sherlock Holmes book that I hauled in my most recent IMM. Why? The book just looks divine and it deserves to be placed in this list.

3. The Fault in Our Stars - John Green
I absolutely loved John's writing style and the poetry in the book. Book I would re-read over and over again.


4. The Mortal Instruments - Cassandra Clare
I decided to mention this series as I've been loving City of Bones, even though I'm only almost halfway in. There must be a reason for all the praise, right?


5. The Infernal Devices - Cassandra Clare
Same goes for this one. Whenever The Mortal Instruments comes to play, The Infernal Devices will always be mentioned. Plus I just recently bought The Infernal Devices, so wouldn't want my money to go to waste. Yeah.

6. Hunger Games - Suzanne Collins
I chose this book not because I am head over heels for it, it's only because it has a few techniques on how to survive in the wilderness. If I had to abandon my house, I think this book would be quite helpful.


7. Divergent - Veronica Roth
This book has been sitting on my shelf for the longest time and this was the book that EVERYONE loved. I just had to include it in here.


8. H.O.N Series - P.C & Kristin Cast
Well.. It is the most complete series of books that I've ever bought with my own money. So far I have 7 books, and have been liking the plot so far. I love how the series isn't draggy.


9. Chinese Cinderella Series - Adeline Yen Mah
The first series that I've ever gotten in to. An amazing book and irresistibly hard to put down.


10. My iRiver
Of course, this was a given. Some of you may not know but an iRiver is an eReader. I have lots of books in my iRiver so this would be a pretty obvious choice.

That is all! It would be lovely of you guys to respond to this topic :)

In My Mailbox (#2)

In My Mailbox is hosted by The Story Siren. :)

First off, I am going to start off with an apology. I am sorry for not posting in a long long while, and that's mainly due to my frustration to blogger. Why? Because the picture system in blog posts is out of my usual context and it just wouldn't align properly. Looking into tutorials now and to say sorry to my followers, here's a book haul!

(Left to right, top to bottom.)
1. Under the Never Sky - Veronica Rossi
-Genre: YA Dystopian/SciFi
-Series: Under the Never Sky (Book #1)
I'm sure alot of you have heard about this book, and I gotten into the hype as well. I couldn't resist not picking this up when I saw it in my local bookstore.

2. Shatter Me - Tahereh Mafi
-Genre: YA Dystopian/SciFi
-Series: Shatter Me (Book #1)
Another well-talked about dystopian book in the book community. Can't wait to start on the book! The cover's all shiny and glorious, very tempting.

3. Wither - Lauren DeStefano
-Genre: YA Dystopian/SciFi
-Series: The Chemical Garden (Book #1)
The cover depicts an amazing blend of beauty and scifi. Honestly, that was one of the top reasons why I decided to get this. Let's hope it was worth my money though!

4. Clockwork Angel - Cassandra Clare
-Genre: YA Fantasy
-Series: The Infernal Devices (Book #1)
Since I am on the first book of the Mortal Instruments, I decided to get the Infernal Devices series to.. Complete my Cassanda Clare set. Loving City of Bones so far, so I doubt I would regret this purchase!

5. Clockwork Prince - Cassandra Clare
-Genre: YA Fantasy
-Series: The Infernal Devices (Book #2)
Second book into the Infernal Devices series. Since it was under Rp100.000 (About $9 USD) excluding my 20% off that I received from my bookstore, decided to get it along with clockwork angel.

6. One Day - David Nicholls
-Genre: Romance
-Series: -
I bought the book with Anne Hathaway on the cover and I absolutely loved all her movies, so decided to grab the book. Plus, you can never have too much romance novels. ;)

7. Lola and the Boy Next Door - Stephanie Perkins
-Genre: YA Romance/Contemporary
-Series: -
I absolutely adored Anna and the French Kiss, so this book was just another given book that I had to buy. I can't wait to start on this!

8. The Original Illustrated Sherlock Holmes: 37 Short Stories and a Complete Novel - Arthur Conan Doyle
-Genre: Mystery/Classics
-Series: -

Sherlock Holmes. Nothing needs to be explained here. I read some of his stories and I did not not like any. It is a huge book (imagine 2 Oxford Learner's Dictionary side by side and increase it's width a little). I would say it is a guilty pleasure, and it is even better that it was a gift from my teacher in Singapore. I asked my mum to bring it back to Indonesia and here it is right now on my lap. Did I mention that I am in love with the TV series? If not, now you know.

Look at that gorgeous format.

That concludes my book haul. Yes, I love me some dystopian and scifi books, hence the ample amount of them in my book haul. I'm hoping to see you guys in a next post in due time! Bye!
