I thought about it and realized there are just so many, but then I thought about the ones people haven't done and that got me really interested. <br /><br />I just want a single book. Or two books. I like to read a lot about characters I enjoy, but I don't like waiting for the books to continue coming out and sometimes it feels dragged out. <br /><br />Great!

I mean please- I'm a high school student. If I wasn't in an all girls boarding school I probably would be a cheerleader (I'm a dancer and love being at sporting events but suck at playing in them)I've met mean people from all walks of life (or school) and it drives me crazy when totally normal girls don't have an ounce of compassion in them cuz they're 'popular'. Ok. *done rant* Sorry! Needless to say, I thought it was a great list:)<br />Esty<br /><a href="http://boardingwithbooks.blogspot.co.il/2013/04/top-ten-tuesday-rewind.html" rel="nofollow">My TTT</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06766406223499074958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155297479974865683.post-63870537862351705432013-04-16T14:43:21.047-04:002013-04-16T14:43:21.047-04:00YES. YES. Yes to all. And can I add, "mysteri...YES. YES. Yes to all. And can I add, "mysterious boys with sensitive insides that only the MC girl can bring out. They also have dark hair and amazing eyes." Enough with the eyes already!<br /><br />I kind of feel like the re-telling of fairy tales is getting a bit stale for me. But when I read your list of Peter Pan, Mulan etc I immediately wanted to read those kinds of spin offs, too. So maybe I'm not over fairy re-tellings yet. <br /><br />I never thought about trilogies..it's true though, every time I'm on Amazon trolling for books I see the book title accompanied by "trilogy series title #1 or 2 or 3) and it kind of bugs me. Maybe it's because a lot of trilogies seem like long continuers of book one. Harry Potter continued on but each book is so different and the characters behave differently. I think that's why JKR could get away with 7. <br /><br />I would love to see stronger heroines. <br /><br />Thanks for this list, you've prompted me to start making a list of my own!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155297479974865683.post-15266490057106591812013-04-16T13:35:39.538-04:002013-04-16T13:35:39.538-04:00I'd love more international travel, sleuthing,...I'd love more international travel, sleuthing, and retellings! :) Insta-love (I'd rather see them fall in love), annoying heroines (they can make or break a book for me), and the "hero" (I didn't like Ethan, either) really annoy me.

I've been to summer camps in the past, and nothing in these books isn't real, but it's still fun to read about kids falling in love when they are far away from there home and parents.<br />I also love retellings! It's good because this year there are quite a lot of them (:<br />Stereotypical mean girls are always annoying!! It can ruin a whole book for me.

International would be cool too. I have a feeling retellings are going to get more and more popular now! I think having less trilogy's would be nice. It seems like every book is a trilogy. I like when there's two books because I feel like that's just enough :).
