This week in Gotta Have It/Make It Stop: STRONG FEMALE LEADS

I love this type of female leads. I love when the character knows what she wants, it's certain about some thing, and does what she thinks it's the best. I love when female characters are not controled by the main male character, aka the love interest. That is what I hate the most.
I love when she can think by herself! Even If I always read them, I hate Bella-alike characters. Totally hate them.
Thank God, that with The Hunger Games, and the dystopia books euphoria, came strong lead characters.
Favorite strong female leads: Katniss Everdeen (The Hunger Games), Tally Youngblood (Uglies) and Lena Haloway(Delirium)

My opinion on this trend:
GOTTA HAVE IT!

Now post your opinions on this YA trend, and link us with your blogs in the linky. :)

Introducing A New Meme: Gotta Have It/Make It Stop!

I know that there are a lot of memes out there in the blog community. I participate in few of them, and they are kind of awesome,because they connect bloggers and give you visitors.

That is why I've come up with an (i think it's) original meme.

GOTTA HAVE IT/MAKE IT STOP!

You are all asking right now, what the hell is this poor guy talking about? Nobody would join in a meme with that kind of name.

Well, I hope I could change your minds. Here's what the meme is all about.

There are a lot of trends in the YA literature. Some that we love to hate like Love Triangles, and some that we hate that we love so much.

That is why, one day of the week, I ( and I hope some of you) will join me to talk about them. Do we like them? Do we hate them? Do we want them to stay? Or we want them to stop?

That is what this meme is about.

Every Friday, there will be a new trend that we will be discussing.You will have to visit the blog and find out what the topic is that week, post your opinion on it on your blog, and leave a link so that other bloggers can read it.

You post can be short or long, but at the end you will have to say either

GOTTA HAVE IT (if you want the trend to continue)

or

MAKE IT STOP (if you want the trend to stop)

Does it sound fun enough to join?

 Leave a comment telling me what you think!

You can now join. Check out the posts here

Wishlist Wednesday #1

Wishlist Wednesday is a book blog hop where we will post about one book per week that has been on our wishlist for some time, or just added (it's entirely up to you), that we can't wait to get off the wishlist and onto our wonderful shelves.

Just your average boy-meets-girl, girl-kills-people story...
Cas Lowood has inherited an unusual vocation: He kills the dead.

So did his father before him, until his gruesome murder by a ghost he sought to kill. Now, armed with his father’s mysterious and deadly athame, Cas travels the country with his kitchen-witch mother and their spirit-sniffing cat. Together they follow legends and local lore, trying to keep up with the murderous dead—keeping pesky things like the future and friends at bay.
When they arrive in a new town in search of a ghost the locals call Anna Dressed in Blood, Cas doesn’t expect anything outside of the ordinary: move, hunt, kill. What he finds instead is a girl entangled in curses and rage, a ghost like he’s never faced before. She still wears the dress she wore on the day of her brutal murder in 1958: once white, but now stained red and dripping blood. Since her death, Anna has killed any and every person who has dared to step into the deserted Victorian she used to call home.
And she, for whatever reason, spares his life.

I got a copy of Girl Of Nightmares today, by TOR Teen, the publisher. It was a total suprise for me. I did request it once, few months ago, but I didn't know I'd get a copy. Now the problem is that I still haven't read Anna Dressed in Blood, which is the first book in the series.
Now, I'm craving to get a copy and read it. A lot of my twitter buddies loved the  book, so I can't wait to read it. It sounds so cool, and creepy, and I've never read a horror novel. So, I can't wait to be scared.lol

Jacinda was supposed to bond with Cassian, the "prince" of their pride. But she resisted long before she fell in love with Will—a human and, worse, a hunter. When she ran away with Will, it ended in disaster, with Cassian's sister, Miram, captured. Weighed down by guilt, Jacinda knows she must rescue her to set things right. Yet to do so she will have to venture deep into the heart of enemy territory.
The only way Jacinda can reach Miram is by posing as a prisoner herself, though once she assumes that disguise, things quickly spiral out of her control. As she learns more about her captors, she realizes that even if Will and Cassian can carry out their part of the plan, there's no guarantee they'll all make it out alive. But what Jacinda never could have foreseen is that escaping would be only the beginning....
Loyalties are tested and sacrifices made in the explosive conclusion to Sophie Jordan's Firelight trilogy

 I can not wait to read the third instalment of Firelight trilogy. It's a story about young dragons, loyalty and love. Who doesn't want to read about that? Oh,and if you are wondering I am Team Cassian who reminds me of Ren from Nightshade trilogy. We know how that one turned out, hope Hidden answers my prayers and slays!
