Top 5 Wednesday : 27/04/16

Happy Wednesday!! This week's topic is: Favourite Mother/Maternal Figures 

 If you want to know everything about this T5W, you can click on this amazing link which will take you to Goodreads.  T5W was created by Lainey but is now managed by Samantha!

 5. Jocelyn Fairchild - The Mortal Instruments

 I wasn't sure if I should add Jocelyn to this list as at some points she did annoy me with the motherly choices she made, but now I see the benefit of them. She was always looking out for Clary and her her wellbeing. All the choices she made were based on her daughters' safety and I admire that.

 4. Charlotte Branwell - The Infernal Devices

 From the start of Clockwork Angel I can always remember Charlotte being right by everyones side, helping and doing all sorts of motherly things for everyone she loved and cared about. She was one of my favourite characters in 'The Infernal Devices'. 

 3. Esme Collin

 Esme Collin is an amazing maternal figure. She is a very interesting and has been raising all of these "teenages" for a very very very long time so I think she should get some credit for that! Plus, I love the name Esme so much!! 

 2. Molly Weasley - Harry Potter

 Oh, Molly Weasley should get mother of the year award in the world of Harry Potter! She was an amazing mother to all of the Weasley children. My favourite thing about her is that even though Harry Potter could have been seen as a danger to her family to have around, she stood by him with no second look and welcomed him so dearly. Molly is such a great character.

1. Julia Cohen - Slammed

I loved Julia. She raised the most amazing children and she trusted all the right people. She not only mothered her own children but two more with a twist. You really have to read this trilogy to see what I am talking about. But Julia just does everything the way you are supposed to do it. Of course she makes mistakes, but it's the way she handles all the situations she is put in with her children and just her life in general that makes her my favourite mother figure.

The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer - Book Review

Image
The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by  Michelle Hodkin Published by   Simon And Schuster  on    September 27th 2011 Genres:   Paranormal, Fantasy, Young Adult, Romance Pages: 452 Goodreads “Thinking something does not make it true. Wanting something does not make it real.”  The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer delivered reality and truth into a supernatural and suspenseful book. Intrigue of Mara Dyer's character came from her being quite mentally unstable due to the accident that she cannot remember which killed her friends and left her alive. This makes Mara an unreliable protagonist and it is almost impossible to tell if what is happening is actually even going on in real life or just inside her head. However, I did find it quite hard to imagine what Mara Dyer physically looked like. I feel like the author did not exactly describe her appearance or even her ancestry (Indian) early on in the book, so I had a picture in my mind that didn't match with her description

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief

Title:  Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief Author:  Rick Riordan  Series or Standalone:  Series Genre:  Young-adult Fantasy Format:  Paperback Publication Date:  January 1st 2005 Goodreads Summary: Look, I didn't want to be a half-blood. I never asked to be the son of a greek god. I was just a normal kid, going to school, playing basketball, skateboarding. The usual. Until I accidentally vaporized my maths teacher. Now I spend my time battling monsters and generally trying to stay alive. This is the one where Zeus, God of the Sky, thinks I've stolen his lightning bolt - and making Zeus angry is a very bad idea. My Review: If you know me, you know how much I love my Greek Mythology and  this book just made me love it even more.  I enjoyed the whole concept of Camp Half Blood, which is the Camp that all Demi-Gods can go to to escape all of the monsters in the real world.  Rick's writing was very honourable and reading from Per
