Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Need to See Made Into a Movie


Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish.

Top Ten Books I Need to See Made Into a Movie




I know, I know, some of these have already been optioned, but that doesn't always guarantee that they'll be made. 


And The Lux Series should ACTUALLY be a Television series so I can get endless hours of Daemon.

Top Five Things That Are Ruining Chloe’s Day

5) Working the 6:30 a.m. shift at GoodFoods Market

4) Crashing a cart into a customer’s car right in front of her snarky coworker Sammi

3) Trying to rock the “drowned rat” look after being caught in a snowstorm

2) Making zero progress with her crush, Tyson (see #3)

1) Being accused—along with her fellow teenage employees—of stealing upwards of $10,000

Chloe would rather be anywhere than locked in work jail (aka the break room) with five of her coworkers . . . even if one of them is Tyson. But if they can band together to clear their names, what looks like a total disaster might just make Chloe’s list of Top Ten Best Moments


The Breakfast Club is one of my all time favorite movies. Just like in this movie, Top Ten Clues You're Clueless characters pour their hearts out and learn that they have more things in common that they thought.

Top Ten Clues You're Clueless is a fun and light read. It follows the story of Chloe and her fellow teen co-workers. Scheduled to work at her grocery store during Christmas Eve, Chloe is not too thrilled about the news. To make matter worst, later during her shift, she and her co-workers are accused of stealing money. Yet many other things occurs during this shift, that Chloe learns a valuable lesson in life.

I found myself enjoying this book. Not only does it reminds me of one of my favorite movies but in life, one learns so much if only one pays attention to one another. I love how it real it felt. I felt like I was part of the gang ( Gabe, Micha, Sammi, Tyson, and Zaina). The group is so diverse that one think they have nothing in common. But once we get to know each individual, we learn that even though we are different in many ways, sometimes we face the same problems in life. Sometime others have it better.

I have to be honest. I had a hard time at Chloe's many lists. Maybe because I like things straight to the point? Yet, I did enjoy Top Ten Clues You're Cluessless more than expected. It was such fun and light read. I even had few laughs and I hope everyone gives it a try.




Book Review: Ask Again Later by Liz Czukas



Ask Again Later
Author: Liz Czukas
Reading Level: Young Adult
Genre: Contemporary

Despite what her name might suggest, Heart has zero interest in complicated romance. So when her brilliant plan to go to prom with a group of friends is disrupted by two surprise invites, Heart knows there's only one drama-free solution: flip a coin.

Heads: The jock. He might spend all night staring at his ex or throw up in the limo, but how bad can her brother's best friend really be?

Tails: The theater geek...with a secret. What could be better than a guy who shares all Heart's interests--even if he wants to share all his feelings?

Heart's simple coin flip has somehow given her the chance to live out both dates. But where her prom night ends up might be the most surprising thing of all...


Have you ever picked up a book and from the very first page you know you’re going to love it? That’s exactly how I was with this book. I knew from the very first page I was not going to be able to put the book down easily.

Ask Again Later is about a girl Heart, who has been asked to prom by two guys. The first guy is a techie, Ryan, who is in the closet and wanted to spend prom night with a friend. And then there was Troy, Heart’s brother’s friend who just got dumped by his girlfriend. Heart who was supposed to attend prom with her friends, the no drama prom-a, and now has to decide who to attend prom with. She decides to let fate take the wheel and flips a coin to decide who to say yes to. The story then continues going back and forth between how prom would have panned out with both dates with a surprising end for Heart.

Man this book was hilarious! It was so fun seeing how both dates would have panned out for Heart. Both dates definitely brought their A game on being entertaining dates that is for sure. Troy the jock, was an awful date, getting drunk and dealing with his ex-girlfriend being there with some new guy and then Ryan, the closet gay, who doesn’t like to dance at all. Heart was bound to have an eventful, maybe not so great, but definitely entertaining prom night with either boy she would have chosen. Either one she would have picked would have still landed her to the same after prom events where of course more drama ensues, but for the greater good. It was fast paced and very engaging from the first page to the very last page.

I would most definitely recommend this book, it was highly entertainment. I personally couldn’t put it down, I was having a blast reading Heart’s prom and thanked god my prom didn’t end up as awful as hers.
