Walt Grace’s Submarine Test, January 1967 by John Mayer
I remember during GCSE Media Studies, our task was to draw a storyboard for any song and I chose this one because it had such an interesting story that I would’ve loved to watch or read.
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by The Broke and the Bookish! Each week, a new topic is put into place and bloggers share their top ten accordingly. I should note that since I rushed this weeks post, this is a list of otps/notps that I could think of at time of writing, not a list of my top 5.
OTPs
Ari & Dante | Aristotle and Dante discover the secrets of the universe
Darren Shan & Debbie Hemlock | The Saga of Darren Shan
(AKA one of my first ever OTPs but ngl I’m still mad they replaced her with a white girl in the movie. I only shipped them when they were both the same age, it was a bit weird when she was 25 but Darren hadn’t grown up yet – in a physical sense – but the scene where they meet again is so funny)
Patrochilles – Patroclus & Achilles | The Song of Achilles
I’m really glad that in my classics class this year, more of my friends are in it so our conversations somehow turn towards these two almost every lesson. And we’re not even doing The Iliad this year. Honestly, I loved these two soo much in TSOA.
Penryn & Raffe | Angellfall I can’t find a picture I like of them but these two were really cute and badass together in book one, the others not so much…
Cinder & Kai | Cinder
Okay I wasn’t the worlds biggest fan for them, but they were pretty damn cute in some scenes of the book. And I’m still not over that scene where that robot announced her in front of the entire ball and she was literally covered head to toe in dirt.
NOTPs
Clace – Clary Fray & Jace whatever your last name really was | The Mortal Instruments
Reylo – Rey & Kylo Ren | Star Wars
Okay this isn’t book related but no, just no.
Do they even have a ship name? – Anastasia Steele & Christian Grey | Fifty Shades of Grey
Hessa – Harry and Tessa | After
If you’re wondering why Harry Styles is there, it’s because After was a Wattpad 1D fanfic until it was published. I still can’t believe I wasted a good week and a half of my summer two years ago reading this series on Wattpad because the number of reads it had shocked me and someone online convinced me it got better by book 3. (it didn’t)
Cassie Sullivan & Evan Walker | The Fifth Wave
Tbh I don’t hate these two, I just didn’t understand them and they moved waay too fast and developed really weirdly for me to like them. I haven’t finished the series yet so I don’t even know if Evan returns after the first book and the creation of a love triangle by throwing Ben in at the last few pages really confused me.

Heartless I’m currently reading the Lunar Chronicles, and I love how Meyer retells the much-loved fairy tales and I CAN’T wait to see how she does this one.
Paper and Fire (The Great Library #2)
I loved Ink and Bone so much. I think it’s one of my favourite books and I’m so pumped to see how Rachel will continue the series. I’m really excited to see the journey of Jess to find Morgan but I’m more excited to see Khalila Seif. She’s my favourite one out of the Postulant 6.
The Fever Code (The Maze Runner 0.6)
The one person that instantly came to my mind when I saw this book was Newt. I’m dreading this release or excited about maybe getting some answers to loads of unanswered questions about the series.
You’re Not Proper (Striker #1)
I’m currently making a list of YA novels that include Muslims and I found this through my search on GoodReads.
NIOBE: She is Life
Amandla Stenberg. That’s all.
Illuminae (The Illuminae Files #1)
I’ve heard too much good stuff about this book not to ignore it!
The Way to Game the Walk of Shame
I read a couple of chapters of this on SwoonReads before it was published and I think it’s going to be a good one!
The Map of Bones (The Fire Sermon #2)
The Fire Sermon was really good – had its flaws but I’m really excited to see how the story progresses.
A Week of Mondays
I feel like I’ve read/watched something similar, I’m not sure, but it looks like it could be enjoyable.
Laughing All The Way To The Mosque
Honestly this line from the description had me slamming the To-Read button. “Flirting with the Walmart meat manager in a futile attempt to secure halal chicken the day before Eid.”

Red Queen
I saw this book on NetGalley but I was too late to request it, so I’ve been eyeing this book for sooo long. It sounds like a typical fantasy novel but I’ve heard such good things from Aveyard and this book. I was so swamped with reviews and exams last year I never got the time! Once I finish the Lunar Chronicles, I’m definitely going to read this next.
The Girl On The Train
Whenever I passed the Waterstone’s in town last year, I ALWAYS saw this book on their shelves. And some of the reviews I’ve read said fans of Gone Girl will love it, and I loved GG, so I’m definitely going to try and read this book soon.
All The Bright Places
I actually did start reading this book last year but, honestly, it reminded me a lot of TFIOS with the quirky characters but I just put on hold for now. I know I’ll probably get back to this book later on this year since there’s a film coming out soon.
Six Of Crows I’m so annoyed that I haven’t read this yet! I’ve been wanting to read Leigh Bardugo’s novels and I still have the Grisha novels on my Kindle.
Carry On I’m wasn’t the biggest fan of Fangirl but I did really like the excerpt of Simon Snow in the novel. However, it looks waay too similar to Harry Potter so I think that’s what put me off from reading it last year.
The Wrath and the Dawn
Was 2015 the year of retellings in YA novels? I’ve read a couple of retellings last year and this one always seemed to pop up after I finished one.
Simon Vs the Homo Sapien Agenda I received a sample of this book from WHSmith when I was browsing about, and it seems pretty funny.
Illuminae
I wasn’t actually considering reading this book but after I read The Sleeping Giant, the form of writing really interesting to read and this plot seems average but I think I’ll like it.
The Heart Goes Last I actually requested this book on NetGalley but, sadly, my request was denied :'(((( I’ve never actually read an Atwood book before but this sounds really good.
Vanishing Girls
I’ve never read an Oliver book before- I started reading Delirium but I never finished the series but this sounds like it would be completely different to that series.
Red Queen
Six Of Crows
Carry On
The Heart Goes Last
Vanishing Girls
