Top Ten Books That Make You Think (About The World, People, Life, etc.)

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

This is my favorite book of all time. Absolute favorite! Number one. Best. If I were to pick one book to save from apocalypse, this would most definitely be it. Ugh. I just LOVE this book so butterflying much! If you haven’t read it, I command  advise you to pick this up immediately. It’s one of those books that stays with you forever and never leaves your heart or mind completely. It’s breathtaking how well Lee has described human nature and how gorgeous meanings can be found behind these complicated thoughts. I just love, love, love this book. ♥

The Opportunist by Tarryn Fisher 

This book definitely got me thinking about the choices we make or don’t (want to) make and consequences thereafter. It’s all about choices in this novel and I literally thought about it afterwards for at least two days and couldn’t get my thoughts out of this tornado that was going on in my head.

The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry 

Yes, it’s a children’s book, but it’s full of philosophical and suprisingly simple, but extremely important thoughts on life and people. I love it! It’s a very short book and there are beautiful illustrations beside these smart ideas and thoughts. What an absolute joy to read!

Arc de Triomphe by Erich Maria Remarque 

I feel like as opposed to previous eras where one could  easily become sufficient in a chosen vocation, nowadays you’re nothing without a paper, stating you’ve finished Uni and gotten not only BA (more known as unfinished Uni degree) but MA as well, in your hand. In this book the male protagonist doesn’t own a passport so even though he is the best surgeon and saves lives on a daily basis, he cannot contribute to the society in the light of day since he is an immigrant. He is nothing without a piece of paper and I feel like our society is drifting towards that direction, too. No paper proving to have a degree from Uni (usually) equals no future.

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

I absolutely adore this book and it’s one of my favorite of all time. Have read it like at least 5 times and every time I do, I find something new to think about. Pride is one of people’s worst enemies, I know it’s mine. I don’t like to ask for help or feel like I’m failing. Who does? I don’t think there are that many people who do. Moreover, prejudice is a nasty beast, too, if you ask me. Judging a book by its cover or by other people’s opinions is quite ofthen the case in life.

Point of Retreat by Colleen Hoover 

Man, how I love this book! Contemporary YA fiction is exciting and easy to follow, but a lot of the times it falls short on a deepful meaning behind the words. PoR has a very special place in my heart. I’m so unbelievably stubborn and it's easy to relate to Lake since she is stubborn, too. She puts Will through tests and the poor guy is doing his best to keep up with everything and prove to her that she is THE one for him and vice versa. When the final 1/3 of the book started, I was taken aback by a huge shock and Oh. My. Freaking. God. It was intense and got me thinking about life in general for days after I finished reading it.

My Sister’s Keeper by Jodi Picoult 

I am not actually a fan of this book in general, there were just too many things that bothered me, but it got me thinking about family problems and how we don’t take time to listen to each other, are so hung up on work, school and solving big problems that we don’t take notice of the small ones right in front of us that are in desperate need of our attention. In addition, the ending was a huge shock and I just wanted to stab this book in the heart with my tears.

The Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger 

I always think of this book when someone talks about time travel. What if it really is possible? What if by choosing to do one thing you could change many lives? What if that changes the balance of the whole world? It’s crazy to think about and this book leaves you breathless with the writing style, plotline, ideas and everything else possible.

Chasing Nikki by Lacey Weatherford 

It’s such a great contemporary YA book and in addition to falling in love with the characters, after reading the book you feel like you’ve been to a class of life. Definitely got me thinking about our existence, love, life etc.

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins 

It’s a great example of how the society is obsessed with reality TV, looks, wealth, fame etc. We are so hung up on material values that quite often we don’t even realize what actual wealth is: loving someone, being loved, home, support, kindness, selflessness, bravery. I love the hidden meanings behind the words and different scenes. I think one can define this piece of work as a satire of the modern society. In addition to a gripping story with kick-ass characters it gives you a lot to think about.

What did you think? Did any of these books made it to your top ten list? Would you add any books to mine? What would they be? Leave me a comment and a link to your TTT and I'll stop by and check out yours :)

Top Ten Most Vivid Worlds/Settings In Books

The Iron King by Julie Kagawa

It’s definitely one of the most vivid worlds I’ve ever read about and at times the description was too much for me and I couldn’t keep up with all of it. 

The Mortal Instruments (and The InfernalDevices) by Cassandra Clare

This series has it all: a secret world with Shadowhunters, demons, angels, warlocks, vampires, werewolves and faeries – just pick whatever you like! Plus, the Shadowhunters have their own little incredibly beautiful little country – Idris.

Harry Potter by J. K. Rowling

Who hasn’t read Harry Potter? Okay, that was a rhetorical question because some people probably haven’t, but if you have I’m pretty sure you agree with me on this one. Harry Potter has one of the most amazing worlds I have ever read about and I bet I will not forget it until the day I die. It’s absolutely wonderful!

Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead

I love how she’s created this world of vampires who have their own royalty, schools, councils etc. There are two kinds of vampires: moroi – the good ones who each control different elements such as water, fire, earth, air and the most rare one – spirit; strigoi – the bad ones who feed from moroi. Then there are dhampires – descendants of moroi and humans who protect moroi from strigoi. It’s really hard to understand at first, but once you read it, you just cannot get enough! 

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

This is the novel that introduced dystopian novels to the masses. It’s fantastic to think about how S. Collins has made this society look and even though I must say that sometimes it kind of creeps me out and depresses me how people can turn up like this, it’s still one of the most amazing books I’ve ever read and I’m simply amazed how well she’s created this future world. The Capitol of Panem is one freaky place, I tell ya!

Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl

I liked the first book which introduced us the world of compellers, witches, incubuses etc and I really liked the setting. The second book made us dig even deeper and it turned out to be even cooler.

The Maze Runner by James Dashner

I haven’t finish it (I plan on finishing it whenever I get my book back from a friend), but I really, really liked the setting. Once a month a boy comes out of a box and he doesn’t remember anything from his life. Now that he’s finally made it, he must learn how to survive, because they’re all locked on a field in the middle of a maze. Everyone has to work together in order to survive, because they want a way out of there, to figure out how they even got there. Every night at the exact same time the walls close and whoever’s left out there will not survive, since there are creatures out in the maze that you couldn’t have imagined even in your wildest dreams (or nightmares.. yep, nightmare's more accurate).

Eragon by Christopher Paolini

I somehow haven’t gotten through the second book, I always end up reading half of it and then leave it unfinished, however, this series has a great world created by an author who started this book when he was just fifteen years old. How cool is that? This book also has one heck of a vivid world and it’s definitely worth exploring if you haven’t read this series yet.

Winnie the Pooh by A. A. Milne

I loved Winnie the Pooh when I was a little girl and there wasn’t a time when I wouldn’t have wanted to go to the Hundred Acre Wood and live and play there with Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, Roo, Rabbit, Eeyore, Owl and Christopher Robin. It’s something I loved as a kid and still appreciate as a young adult since it was a huge part of my childhood. 

Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden

One of my favorite books! The story takes place in Japan which has this exotic culture and exotic people. I know it’s not the most realistic portrayal of Japan, but it’s still very vivid and creative. I love all the parties, costumes and customs. It’s definitely worth reading!

The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

There aren’t enough words to express how much I love this book. It describes everything that’s wrong with the society and its standards perfectly and gives you something to think about for a long time. It’s a fairy tale of a young prince who visits different planets and learns things from roses, a fox, a king etc. It isn’t that long, but it is worth a lot more than a lot of the other books out there. The setting is absolutely brilliant!

Have you read any of these books? What did you think? What would you add? Which books did you choose? Leave a link to your TTT and I’ll check out yours :)

Weigh in Wednesday

Peeta vs. Gale

In the books: Love? Peeta. Best friend in the whole wide world? Gale. I think Katniss loved both of these guys, but Peeta was like a ray of sunshine in the middle of nowhere and Katniss needed him since she'd lost so much already. I think Gale could have been a great alternative, but for Katniss there only ever was Peeta.
In the movie: I loooovee Josh Hutcherson and his personality is the  etalon of Peeta's. He makes a great Peeta, but somehow he couldn't show all his potential in the movie. Liam, on the other hand, did a great job as Gale since we didn't get to see much of him in the first book. Plus, you know the infamous cave scene, right? Well, let's just say that I didn't believe that so much.. I wish I did, tho.
However, based on a character, I'd still go with Peeta, because he makes Katniss happier. They're both such great guys, but there's that one section where Katniss explains her choice at the end of "Mockingjay" and that's why I'm team Peeta (for Katniss).
Who would I choose? That's a tough one, I really don't know, but I think I'd go with Gale. Just as I'd go with Adrian instead of Dimitri. They're the underdogs. But..You never know, right? If I were to meet my Peeta and my Gale in real life someday, I'll let you guys know!

Winner: Peeta Mellark

Top Ten All Time Favorite Characters

It was such a difficult choice, I had to leave out Isabelle Lightwood, Clary Fray, Magnus Bane, Will Herondale, Jace Lightwood, Draco Malfoy, Peeta Mellark, Katniss Everdeen, Effie Trinket, Adrian Ivashkov, Christian Ozera, Hermione Granger et cetera – some of my favorite characters. What did I do? I just wrote down all of their names and picked 10 names randomly. I thought about telling you why I love them, but if you’ve read the books they’re in, you already know the answer to this question, so.. I’ll just post some of my favorite quotes by them and hope that if you haven’t read the books they’re in, you’ll pick them up in a heartbeat. Feel free to answer the questions at the end of the post and to sound off in the comments :) xx

Ronald Weasley – Harry Potter

1. "Viktor? Hasn't he asked you to call him Vicky yet?"
2. "Accio Brain!"
3. "Sunshine, daisies, butter mellow, turn this stupid, fat rat yellow."
4. “Don't talk to me."
   "Why not?"
   "Because I want to fix that in my memory for ever. Draco Malfoy, the amazing bouncing ferret...”

Cinna – The Hunger Games

1. “Remember, girl on fire,” he says, “I'm still betting on you.”

Atticus Finch – To Kill a Mokingbird

1. "You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view - until you climb into his skin and walk around in it."
2. "There's a lot of ugly things in this world, son. I wish I could keep 'em all away from you. That's never possible."
3. "I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do. "

Simon Lewis – The Mortal Instruments

1. “Jesus!” Luke exclaimed.
   ”Actually, it's just me, said Simon. "lthough I've been told the resemblance is startling.”
2. “That's why when major badasses greet each other in movies, they don't say anything, they just nod. The nod means, 'I' am a badass, and I recognize that you, too, are a badass,' but they don't say anything because they're Wolverine and Magneto and it would mess up their vibe to explain.”
3. “No. That's Clary; shes's my best friend Simon pocketed his phone. “And she has a boyfriend. Like, really, really, really has a boyfriend. The nuclear bomb of boyfriends. Trust me on this one.”
4. “Look on the bright side,” said Simon, “If they need a human sacrifice, you can always offer me. I'm not sure the rest of you qualify anyway.”

Travis Maddox – Beautiful Disaster

1. “I know we're fucked up, alright? I'm impulsive, and hot tempered, and you get under my skin like no one else. You act like you hate me one minute, and then need me the next. I never get anything right, and I don't deserve you...but I fucking love you, Abby. I love you more than I loved anyone or anything ever. When you're around, I don't need booze, or money, or the fighting, or the one-night stands...”
2. He shifted to look straight into my eyes. "I should say no to prove a point," he said, his eyebrows pulling together. "But I would hate myself later if I said no and you never asked me again.”
3. “WELL I BELONG TO YOU!” The veins in his neck bulged as he shouted, and I met his glare, refusing to even flinch. He looked at my lips, panting. “I belong to you,” he whispered, his anger melting as he realized how close we were.

Rose Hathaway – Vampire Academy

1. “What the hell?” I asked. “Is this daring escape being sponsored by Honda?”
2. “Checkmate, bitch.”
3. “A gun. I had been brought down by a gun. It was practically comical. Cheaters, I thought.”
4. “You said you were a victim. That's why...that's why ultimately, you and I aren't matched for each other. In spite of everything that's happened, I've never though of myself that way. Being a victim means you're powerless. That you won't take action. Always...always I've done something to fight for myself...for others. No matter what.”

Will Cooper – Slammed, Point of Retreat

1. “If I were a carpenter, I would build you a window to my soul. But I would leave that window shut and locked, so that every time you tried to look through it all you would see is your own reflection. You would see that my soul is a reflection of you.”
2. “Get out, Get out, get out, get out!" I do what any sane male would do in this situation; I run down the hall and lock myself in her bedroom.”
3. “I realize I've never been so sure about the rest of my life than I am in thise moment. This girl is the rest of my life.”

Daemon Black – Lux

1. “I've always found that the most beautiful people, truly beautiful inside and out, are the ones who are quietly unaware of their effect." His eyes searched mine intently, and for a moment we stood there toe to toe. "The ones who throw their beauty around, waste what they have? Their beauty is only passing. It's just a shell hiding nothing but shadows and emptiness.”
2. “Remind me," he paused, drawing in a stuttered gasp, "to never piss you off again. Christ, are you secretly a ninja?”
3. “You look like you got more of a bath than the car. I never thought washing a car would be so hard, but after watching you for the last fifteen minutes, I’m convinced it should be an Olympic sport.”
4. Daemon arched a brow. “Are you feeling me up, Kat? I'm liking where this is heading.”

Professor Severus Snape – Harry Potter

1. “Ah yes, Harry Potter. Our new - celebrity.”
2. “Obviously fame isn't everything. Is it, Mr. Potter? ”
3. “Turn to page 394.”

Haymitch Abernathy – The Hunger Games

1. “Here's some advice. Stay alive.”
2. “I ate your lunch.”
3. “Not like this. He wanted it to be real.”
4. “It's okay. It'll be okay, sweetheart”

What did you think? Are some of these 10 characters in your top ten too? Why do you like them? What topic did you choose for this week’s TTT?

Holy smokes! I'm so excited right now, I cannot even express myself. The last time I ordered a book it was "The Maze Runner" by James Dashner which, by the way, I plan to finish someday. I mean, it was interesting enough and recommended by so many fans of "The Hunger Games" (Suzanne Collins), but I don't know why I don't want to pick it up every other night. I lended it to my friend, because I've only finished half of it and I just couldn't get excited enough about this book, so.. yeah. But I do plan on finishing it someday. So.. Want to know what I'm so excited about? I'll tell you:

I just recieved a copy of "Pure" (#2 Covenant Series) by Jennifer L. Armentrout form the post office and it's so beautiful, shiny, new and smells amazing (have I ever told you that I like the smell of books? I don't know what's so great about it, but they smell nice). Anyway, it's bigger than I expected. It's quite a big font so it's easy on the eyes and I just cannot wait to read it all ready. I think I have to wait until tomorrow when I get home from Uni. Tonight I have to do chemistry, because I had a lab today, and I ought to revise how to write an essay for tomorrow, because we're writing one as a part of the final exam in academic English. I literally cannot wipe a smile off my face. I've been waiting for this book since 3rd of April and it's finally arrived. Looking forward to reading it and hopefully I'll be able to post a review rather sooner than later.


As for now, I'll let you guys know that I recommend this series, because it's quite interesting, tho, the first book kind of reminded me of "The Vampire Academy" books by Richelle Mead, but the excerpts I've read from Jennifer's blog are great and I'm so, so, so happy I've finally have it in my hands. I guess I should give it to my Mom this evening for her to hide it, otherwise I'll probably end up reading it anyway. Heh.

Thanks for reading and visiting this page. Wish you all a great day and lots of hugs and kisses! :)

The Hunger Games

To read in English, click on 'Read more'

Käisin eile kinos „Näljemänge“ vaatamas. Olen nii-nii kaua oodanud seda filmi. Juba poolteist aastat. Raamatu kõik osad olid superhead (hästi, viimane võib-olla veidi vähem) ning ma tõesti ei jõua filmi järge ära oodata. Teiste mängude areen on huvitavam ja lahedam – juba sellepärast, kuid ka seepärast, et järjes tutuvtakse uute tegelastega nagu Finnick, Annie ja teised ning nendest oli lausa lust lugeda.

THG („The Hunger Games“) põhineb Suzanne Collinsi samanimelisel triloogial, mille tegevus toimub tulevikus ja loo peategelaseks on Katniss Everdeen (see nimi on üks lahedamaid peakangelanna nimesid, ei ole tavaline ja jääb hästi meelde ning kõlab ka ilusasti), kes elab Panemi 12. ringkonnas. Panem on riik, kus valitsevaks korraks on diktatuur ning Panemis oli kunagi 13. ingkonda. Nüüdseks on alles jäänud 12, sest ringkonnad tõstsid Kapitooliumi (ehk siis pealinn ja valitsus) vastu mässu ning 13. ringkond tehti mässu mahasurumise käigus maatasa. Sellest ajast peale on korraldatud iga-aastaseid näljamänge, mille osalejateks on igast ringkonnast kaks inimest: üks poiss ja üks tüdruk. Noored viiakse Kapitooliumisse, kus neil avaneb võimalus end mõned päevad treenida, neid tehakse ilusaks, nad jagavad intervjuusid, söövad maitsvaid sööke, magavad ja elavad luksuslikes elamutes. Aga.. Kui see nädalakene (tegelikult ma ei mäleta, kui pikka aega nad raamatus Kapitooliumis veetsid, aga vist oli kuskil nädalapikkune aeg) läbi saab ja oma võimeid on demonstreeritud ning toetajaid, sponsoreid kogutud, minnakse areenile. Seal algab sõda laste vahel, kes võitlevad surmani. Mängu mõjutavad mängumeistrid, keda kontrollib Kapitoolium. Mänge kantakse üle igas ringkonnas ja Kapitoolium mõtleb neist kui pidustustest. Areenilt väljub ainult üks – võitja, kes saab au, kuulsuse ja rikkuse osaliseks.

Film oli üsna tõetruu, kõik  tähtsamad stseenid olid linateosesse kaasatud. Ma üritan väga, et mitte spoilereid anda, sest olen lugenud raamatut ja näinud filmi ning raske on end tagasi hoida, sest see lugu hõlmab endas nii palju. Enne raamatute lugemist olin hästi skeptiline, aga võin käsi südamel väita, et ma pole peale „Tappa laulurästast“ ja mõne teose/sarja veel nii head raamatusarja lugenud. See mängib nii inimühiskonna pahedele, plussidele, inimese tunnetele kui ka seiklustele. Isegi neile, kes ei suuda armukolmnurgata raamatut lugeda, on nendegi jaoks tagaplaanil midagi. Suzanne Collins on suutnud jutustada lugu inimkonna julmusest, rääkides seda läbi traagika ja kurbuse, huumori ja sarkasmi. Kui oled raamatuid lugenud, siis olen üpriski kindel, et filmis pettuda ei tule, kuigi tundus, et kohati kiirustati stseenist stseeni, et intensiivne raamatumaterjal tervenist ära katta. Minu puhul on hea ka see, et olen raamatud juba kaua aega tagasi läbi lugenud ning kindlasti, kui oleksin hiljuti uuesti luegnud, oleksin ka veidi rahulolematu, kuid kõiki pisidetaile ei saagi 400leheküljelisest raamatust pooleteisetunnisesse filmi kokku pressida, sest filmi käsikiri on ju tegelikult imepisikene, seega võiks veidi mõistvam olla.

Nii, filmist endast siis natuke. Mind häiris vist kõige rohkem see, et osa oli tehtud nö käsikaamera variandis, kus pilt kõikus ja värises. Võib-olla tundub see tegijatele realistlikum ja tõetruum, aga vaatajal on ebamugav, kui ta ei suuda fokuseerida toimuvat ja pilt käib lihtsalt üles-alla, üles-alla. Pole eriti tore. Üldiselt, nagu juba varem ütlesin, olid kõik tähtsamad momendid vähemal-suuremal määral sees ja mul ei tekkinud kordagi hetke, kus oleks igav olnud. Kui tavavaatajale, kes pole sarja lugenud (kusjuures ma lugesin, et THG eelmüügipileteid on üle maailma müüdud rohkem kui ühelegi teisele filmile, k.a. „Videviku“ filmidele, mis on ju maailmas hoolimata nende üle tehtavast naljast siiski väga populaarsed), oli lõpp arusaamatu ja jäi nagu lahenduseta, siis mulle meeldis see väga. Raamatus me president Snow viimaseid momente pärast võitja koju jõudmist ei näinud, kuid nüüd oli selge, et midagi peab selle võitja suhtes tegema ja Snow ilme näitas seda suurepäraselt. Keegi ei astu Kapitooliumi vastu ja ükski taoline tegu ei jää karistamata..

I like this picture. It describes Katniss as she is,
every adjective, sentence here is about her. She's one
of the best heroines of all times. She's fantastic!

Jennifer Lawrence oli pff.. Mul polegi sõnu. Imeline. Suurepärane. Usutav. Kaunis. Tugev. Raamatus kujutasin Peetat pikemana ette, seepärast on koomiline vaadata, et Josh Hutcherson on Lawrence’iga samapikkune ja kui tüdruk kontsad alla paneb, siis lühemgi. Iseloomult on Josh siiski sajaprotsendiliselt Peeta ja polekski saanud kedagi paremat Peeta Mellarki karakterit kehastama palgata. Liam Hemsworth tuli Gale Hawthorne’i rolliga kenasti toime, sest Gale’ist me esimese raamatu jooksul palju ei kuule, seetõttu kõik stseenid, kus Gale’i nägime, olid hästi välja mängitud. Effie Trinketi, Haymitch, Cinna,  Caesar Flickermani, Seneca Crane, Primrose Everdeen, Snow, Cato ja Rue olid samuti hästi castitud ja kõik olid usutavad ning raamatule truud karakterid.

Ma ei suuda tegelikult midagi öelda enam nii, et ma mingeid tähtsamaid momente ära ei rikukus, seega ma ütlen vaid, et mulle väga meeldis ja isegi, kui te pole raamatuid lugenud, siis soovitan vaatama minna. Film ei kajasta mitte ainult mänge või seda, kui vaene Katnissi ringkond on ja kui rikas ja naeruväärne on Kapitoolium, vaid filmil (ja ka raamatutel) on palju sügavam mõte, mille igaüks peaks iseenda jaoks üles otsima. Tõesti, hea film oli ja ootan huviga, mida põnevat ja uuenduslikku on järgmises filmis. Ja veelkord, Jennifer Lawrence on suurepärane ning juba ainuüksi tema pärast võiks seda filmi vaadata.

Ok, enne, kui lõpetan, pean veel mainima, et Lenni Kravitz ja Cinna? I had my doubts, aga see mees tegi vähese ekraanil oldud aja jooksul imelist tööd ja Cinnat (kui mu lemmik tegelast) oli suurepäraselt kujutatud ning mul ei jäänud suhu nö halba maiku, et just tema Cinnat kehastama valiti. Oleksin tahtnud, et Haymitch oleks rohkem ekraaniaega saanud, kuid stseenid, milles ta osales, olid kõik head.
