The Nameless Book Blog

Everybody has books they are just not interested in reading, no matter how many people tell you you should read them. Today we will share 5 of those books/series with you. Now, of course, if you like these books, we are not trying to offend you, these are just our personal opinions.


Ambers #5
The first book series I have no interest in reading is The Selection Series. I see so many people on tumblr reading these books and I heard it's like the bachelor but like the book version. After that I read the summary of the first book and it really doesn't sound like something I would enjoy...(and I hate the covers)

The Hunger Games. Hahaha, yes go ahead murder me for being a bad kid. Spank me. No wait don't do that. That's weird. No but seriously. I have no interest in reading these books because they seem so overly hyped to me. There is like literally no person who has not heard about it. It just kind of ruins the whole thing for me. AND NO I AM NOT A HIPSTER.

Ambers #4
I also have no interest in reading the Vampire Academy and the Bloodlines series by Richelle Mead. I've been getting so many messages on Tumblr with people telling me these books are great and that I should read them, but honestly the entire 'vampire' thing is not making me excited to read it.

Shania's #4
The Fault In Our Stars. I don't know why, but I just don't really like lovey dovey stories. And even though I am a fan of non-happy-endings, this story just doesn't suit my line of books I'd like to read. Sorry John Green'O. No offence, he seems like a cool guy.

Ambers #3
Every novel John Green writes. (I feel like I'm offending so many people right now, just wait till you get to my number 1). I read The Fault In Our Stars, expecting to read the greatest book ever written, as so many people see it. I thought there was nothing special about the way John Green writes, I didn't really see anything special about the characters (besides the cancer of course) and I generally just don't like reading contemporary books. This is why I won't pick up any of his other books, no matter how many people tell me I should read them because TFIOS isn't his best book.

Shania's #3
The Perks Of Being a Wallflower. Another contemporary book. What a surprise. I haven't even watched the movie yet, and I watch anything that involves around Emma Watson. This just doesn't seem like my kind of book. I just really prefer more fantasy settings. And I especially hate typical high school settings, especially especially if no supernatural or fantasy is involved.

Ambers #2
The Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan. Yes, another really famous series I have no interest in reading. I have seen like 2 movies and I enjoyed them (although everybody says the movies are so bad), but I don't feel like reading the books at all. The first thing that bothers me is the fact that Percy is (I believe) 12 years old when the story starts. I just can't relate to people who are having the greatest adventures at that age, I'm sorry, it just feels so unrealistic to me. When I was 12 years old I played at playgrounds and was obsessed with Nickelodeon...I wasn't killing god knows what, as Percy does in the books.
I do have to say that I read Magus Chase and the Sword of Summer by Rick Riordan and I thought it was hilarious. I still don't want to read Percy Jackson, though.

Shania's #2
The Selection. I don't know what it is with these books. Everyone seems to love 'em dearly. But it just seems to Bachelor like for me. But then like, written down. Also the girl her name is America Singer and in my head that just doesn't work, I'll be reading that as American Singer. Sorry that's just what my brain tends to do.

Ambers #1
Here we go: the post I am going to offend most people with: I have no interest in reading Harry Potter. It has been soooo incredibly hyped and therefor I just feel like not reading it anymore. I think I should have read it when I was younger, because I don't think I would enjoy it as much now...There are other popular series that I have read and loved, like the Song Of Ice and Fire, the Throne Of Glass series and the Mortal Instruments, but with Harry Potter it's different. EVERYBODY knows Harry Potter. Literally, walk up to any random person on the street and ask 'Hey, do you know what Harry Potter is?' They will know. This is just kind of keeping me from reading these books...

Shania's #1 
My number one: Twilight. But everyone can pretty much guess why?


~It's a wrap~ Or well for now. What is your Top 5 on this Tuesday's topic? Make sure to leave us a comment so we can discuss! ^^

*How surprising, a top 5 Tuesday's that is not on a Tuesday. Slow clap.

If you have been following our blog for a while now, you may already know this: we are both massive fantasy lovers. When we come across a book with a map in it, our hearts start to beat faster, because let's be real: Books with maps are the best books. Today we will be sharing the fictional universes that we would like to live in with all of our amazing readers.

Ambers #5
The first fictional universe I would love to live in is the Shadowhunter world from the Mortal Instruments and Infernal Devices. Now I know that these books take place in our world, but it's so different, because there's demons and fairies and werewolfs and vampires. It would be so cool if that would be our world.

Ambers #4
I know some people might call me crazy, because it doesn't seem like a great place to live at all, but I could see myself living in Westeros. The world from the amazing Song Of Ice And Fire series. Westeros seems like such a grim and depressing world, because of all the murders and rape (and let's not forget about the threat of the white walkers beyond the wall, several kings and one queen saying they have a claim to the throne and a bunch of fuckers like Ramsay Snow walking around), but I could still see myself live there. If I could choose, I'd live in Winterfell, but only if the Starks rule the castle, not the Boltons.

Ambers #3
Another world I'd like to live in is the world from Sarah J Maas her novel A Court Of Thorns And Roses. Would I want to live in the Human realm or in Prythian? Prythian, duh. It just seems like such an interesting land to live in. I loved to find out the history of everything that happened during the War and Amarantha taking over. I can't wait to find out more in A Court Of Mist And Fury.
Where in Prythian would I live? The Night Court, without a doubt. I hate sun, because I get a sunburn every time I go into it and I just prefer night. (but let's be honest, the real reason I want to live in the Night Court is because of its incredibly sexy High Lord)

Ambers #2
I'd also love to live in Erilea or Wendlyn, both lands from the Throne Of Glass. If I had to choose I'd probably live in Wendlyn, but not in Doranelle because I wouldn't want Maeve ruling over me. I'd probably live at the fortress Aelin and Rowan stayed most of Heir Of Fire. The people there seemed nice and life looked great. If I had to choose somewhere in Erilea to live, I'd go for Terrassen, obviously. But only with one of the Ashryvers or Galanthynius' ruling, not the King of Adarlan.


Shania's #2
I don't know why, but the Shadowhunter world has become my number two. I think, I don't know, but I think I would be a cool Shadowhunter. I just need to get my sass a little bit more out there. But besides being an awesome demon fighting babe, I'd try turning Alec bisexsual. Because come on... the dude is hot as fuck.
And if that doesn't work. 
We could always share Magnus???
 no? no? okay...

Ambers #1
The number one world I'd like to live in, is without a doubt Middle Earth. I saw Lord Of The Rings for the first time when I was eight years old and I've been in love with the world ever since. If I got to choose who to be and where to live, I'd be an Elf and live in either Rivendell, The Woodland Realm or Lothlórien. But I'd be fine with living anywhere, really. (well not Mordor but okay...)

Don't we all hate them: Spoilers. We have both been spoiled for quite some books and today we will share all of these with you. The title of the book will be bold, so you know which books will be discussed, because we don't want to spoil you too. If you read them anyway and are spoiled, it's not our fault, you have been warned hahaha.

Ambers #5
Divergent
I thought it was a great idea to start watching booktube videos about a year ago and that's how I was spoiled for the death of Tris in Allegiant. When I got to the end of Allegiant, I know what was coming, but that didn't make it any less bad. It was horrible.


Shania's #5
The Keeper
I basically spoiled myself because I had confused the second book for the first book so I was a few chapters deep into the second book and then I realised that this couldn't have been the first book. So I checked goodreads and it is true

Ambers #4
The Infernal Devices
I haven't even READ the Infernal Devices yet, but I've already been spoiled because of Pinterest. I was casually searching the Shadowhunters tag, because at the time I was reading the Mortal Instruments. That's how I came across the fact that Will Herondale dies. I know who Will is and I know everybody loves him, so his death will probably hurt a lot.


Shania's #4
The Mortal Instruments
Thank you Amber, the spoilers were lovely. But I asked for them myself.

Ambers #3
The Mortal Instruments
I spoiled MYSELF for the Mortal Instruments. I was reading City Of Glass and I knew Jonathan was on the cover of City Of Heavenly Fire, so I was like, ah I wonder when Jonathan is introduced in the story. I didn't know Jonathan and Sebastian were the same person at the time, that's what I spoiled myself for. Then I read his character profile and see that HE DIED. God dammit why do I always spoil myself.


Shania's #3
Throne of Glass
Again, thanks Ambs!

Ambers #2
Throne Of Glass
Yep, I spoiled myself for the Throne Of Glass series too. I was reading Throne Of Glass and wanted to follow more blogs on Tumblr, so I searched the tag on Tumblr and found out Nehemia died, great. I really liked Nehemia and was very sad she died, especially the way it all happened. I should really stop spoiling myself.


Shania's #2
The Darkest Powers
There are these things called Fanfictions, and when the summary says SPOILERS, definitely don't read them if you don't want to be spoiled because that is what happened to me.

Ambers #1
Game Of Thrones
I have spoiled myself for Game Of Thrones SO many times. When I started watching the show, season 4 was just starting and so I went to the tumblr tag and these are all the characters I found out died: Robert Baratheon, Ned Stark, Viserys Targaryen, Khal Drogo, Catelyn Tully, Robb Stark, Oberyn Martell, Tywin Lannister, Ygritte and Shae.
How many times can you possibly spoil yourself. I wasn't spoiled for Jon Snow though and I WISH I WAS, MAYBE MY HORROR WOULD HAVE BEEN LESS BAD I CRIED FOR 45 MINUTES.

Shania's #1
The Gone Series
I spoiled myself so hard with Caine's dead. I was like, at first I didn't believe it, I didn't WANT to believe it. But then pictures of Caine's last lines started popping up everywhere and then I drowned in my pool of tears because I was so frigging upset with Caine Soren's death. Like, I know he was a dick most of the time, but I just loved the guy.

Don't we all have those books in which a character we loved died and we end up as a sobbing mess because of it? Of course, we have those books too, that's why this weeks Top 5 Tuesdays is dedicted to characters who shouldn't have died.
Because we don't want to SPOIL you about characters, these are the BOOKS THAT WILL BE MENTIONED: Divergent, A Song Of Ice And Fire (Game Of Thrones), The Mortal Instruments, Shadowmagic, Newsoul (Asunder), Gone Series (


Amber's #5
Uriah Pedrad from Divergent is the first character I think shouldn't have died. He was such a great and funny character and he didn't deserve the death he was given. To me, it kind of feels like Veronica killed him JUST to create a shock effect...Uriah did nothing wrong, he just happened to be standing in the wrong spot.

Shania's #5
Technically he didn't die, and I have yet to read the third book in this series, but just let me tell you how upset I was for Chris to turn into a sylph. Yes, I'm talking about the Chris from the Newsoul series written by Jodi Meadows. Yes, I nearly cried. Yes, I'm scared to continue because it's the last book in the series. Yes, shame on me.

Amber's #4
Catelyn Stark from the Song Of Ice And Fire series is the second character I think shouldn't have died. Just like Uriah, she just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. I also think Robb shouldn't have died, but I can understand  his death; he was a big threat and needed to be gone, but Cat did nothing wrong. All she did was care about her children and tried to be a good mother. She deserved better.

Shania's #4
THORIN FUDGING OAKENSHIEL WHY. Especially his last words brought the biggest tears into my eyes. Why must life be so extremely painful? Why must book characters die? Because when they die, a little piece of my heart dies too.



Amber's #3
The third character who deserved a lot better is Tris Prior, also from the Divergent trilogy. I knew she was going to die, because I was spoiled, I just didn't know how. I still try not to think about her death, because it was so incredibly sad. The poor girl did everything she could to protect the people she loves and was killed by being shot. After I read that scene I couldn't continue reading, I just couldn't. I read the epilogue of Divergent a day later, because I was so hurt by her death.

Shania's #3
BRIANNA THE BREEZE, She was my little baby! I loved the girl so much and I shipped Brekka like die hard! Seeing that there were only two gay ships in gone, but still. Dekka's love for Brianna was to die for. Now we are both devistated and heartbroken. At this moment, Dekka and I share the same feels. 




Amber's #2
The second character who didn't deserve to die is Jonathan Morgenstern from The Mortal Instruments. Now let me explain, because I know a lot of people hate Sebastian (though I personally love him). Yes, Sebastian was a huge threat and needed to die, but the demon blood burned out of him and Jonathan came back. I would have loved for Jonathan to get a shot at being a normal teenage boy, fall in love, have friends. Sebastian was an ass, but I think Jonathan would have been an amazing brother to Clary and a great friend for the group. I was very sad he died anyway.

Shania's #2
I was honestly so upset to hear about the death of Caine Soren. I was devistaded, seeing he always had a spot in my heart. I fell in love with him the first book, could sometimes understand his reasons but most of all just hoped that one day Caine Soren would realise that good things come to those who do good things. But not with Caine I guess...




Amber's #1
The final character and one I was definitely most sad about (aka I cried for 40 minutes straight) was JON SNOW MY BEAUTIFUL BABY HE DESERVED SO MUCH BETTER. Now let me just rant about his death for a minute (from what I have seen in the tv show bc I'm only in the 3th ASOIAF book). He was just trying to help the wildlings, give them a chance at life. He wanted to save their families, tried to do a good thing. In the end he got stabbed by his own brothers because of it.
I have to say; I believe 100% that he will come back in season 6. I personally think he will be brought back by Melisandre, that way she can make up for BURNING SHIREEN ALIVE. Another character who deserved a much better faith than she got in the series.

Shania's #1
THE FIRSTS THING I DID WHEN DISCOVERING THAT HE DIED WAS CLOSE THE FUDGING BOOK AND PREPARE MYSELF. I'm talking about Fergil from shadowmagic, who captured the place of favorite character ever since he was introduced. And the most painful thing was, that Conor kept mentioning him, STABBING ME IN THE FEELS IN THE SAME WAY FERGIL WAS STABBED. I kept telling myself he wasn't dead, that he'd just get up. But no.. I couldn't read for two entire days because I was too upset.



Which characters do you think shouldn't have died? Do you agree with us, or maybe not at all? Let us know in the comments.

Today we chose to share out 5 fan casts with you. We made the choice not to use books that have already been turned into movies or tv shows, Game Of Thrones for example, because those books obviously already have casts. These aren't really in a specific order, they are just the fan casts we want to see happen the most.



Amber's #5

This is actually a recast and I know we decided not to use any characters who have already been cast, but I just need to say this: Jace from the Mortal Instruments. As we all know, Shadowhunters is releasing in January and Dominic Sherwood is playing Jace this time. As we ALSO know, City Of Bones was also a movie, where Jamie Campbell Bower played Jace and let me just say that they should have cast him again for Shadowhunters. I mean LOOK AT HIM, he is the PERFECT Jace. The hair, the attitude, everything is perfect and he did such a good job in the movie. I was really hoping that they would cast him again, but sadly that didn't happen. I do have to say that I love the rest of the Shadowhunters cast.








Shania's #5

Okay okay, I am most certainly not good at picking a fancast, like: No, Nope, NOOHW!
But since we are doing this post. Let's just try. It might be really amusing. So, for my first fancast we have Simon Bae from the Darkest Powers Trilogy. I thought this was a really though character to cast since we know he is biracial.
I choose Kim Taehyung as his faceclaim. I know that there is no way that he will be able to play Simon Bae because his english is terrible, but this is more of how I would picture Simon. Besides, it is quite hard to find an Asian actor with perfect English and blonde hair.......



Oh well.




Amber's #4
My next fan cast is Sam Claflin for Dorian Havilliard, now let me explain, because they don't really look alike. Despite this I think Sam would absolutely NAIL the role of Dorian Havilliard. Dorian is a cheeky and very charming prince and if you look at roles Sam played before, Finnick from the Hunger Games for example, he is both cheeky AND charming. Besides this Sam is an AMAZING actor. Like I already said before, he would nail this role.











Shania's #4

Okay, the second I watched shadowhunters I cried because Jace was so poorly casted, and then came Alec and I immediately shut up. WHERE HAS THIS BEING BEEN ALL MY LIFE? Matthew Daddario is like his sister, drop fudging dead gorgeous.
Shamefully he doesn't have the blue shiners, but... I found Kevin Zegers a really good cast as well, but Matthew Daddario blends so well with the character, his body language, way of speaking, everything.




Yeah..




Amber's #3

HUNTER PARRISH FOR AARON WARNER. There, I said it. This NEEDS to happen. Hunter is an actor already and he looks EXACTLY like Warner from the Shatter Me books. Sometimes I secretly watch interviews with Hunter Parrish, just because he reminds me of Warner so bad that it actually feels like I'm watching Warner instead of Hunter. I mean look at that face. The only thing that has to change is his eye color, but contacts exists so that's not a problem.









Shania's #3


Since Matthew Daddario is my pick for Alec, I actually found out that his sister could make a pretty good Isabelle. They should have casted her instead of Emeraude Toubia. I think Emeraude is beautiful, but she doesn't exactly fit with Isabelle, or at least that is what I think.

There for,

Alexandra Daddario ladies and gents.









Amber's #2
Now I know I am not the only one who wants him to play this character, because most people on Tumblr use him as a fan cast, but I want Lucky Blue Smith to play Jonathan Morgenstern from The Mortal Instruments. They look EXACTLY alike. From the white blonde hair, to the length of the hair, to his face and even his age. Lucky is actually a model, but I read that he is starring in a movie next year, so there is still hope. If they cast him for Shadowhunters, I need a lot of ice cream because my feels will be all over the place.










Shania's #2

As my second fan cast I choose Alycia Debnam Carey for the role of Feyre from A Court of Thornes and Roses. I think she would fit the character very well, from what I have seen on the 100 she can play a really badass character, and we all know Feyre becomes a fudging badass by the end of the book. Beside that Alycia Debnam Carey is beautiful and also has a bit of an innocent look that I just love about her.






I hope you can agree with me...





Amber's #1

This is the one I am probably most certain about and that is Sam Heughan for Rowan Whitethorn (Throne Of Glass). I recently started watching Outlander, in where Sam plays Jamie Fraser and whilst I was watching it, I was like: I can actually picture him as Rowan. With a white blonde wig on, Rowan's tattoo on his face and pine green eyes, I think he could be a really good Rowan.

He certainly has the right expression on his face for him.










Shania's #1

Last but not least, I have decided to cast my favorite character from the gone series, and I know he is supposed to be the bad guy, I have a certain weakness for him. Im talking about Richard Harmon as Drake Merwin. Hell yeah, I love this fancast, Richard would make a great Drake! And he has the look for him. Although in my imagination Drake is undyingly hot (Lol that pun tho) I am still going with Richard as my fancast.


DRAKE,
WHIP IT,
WHIP IT REAL GOOD.
WHIP YOUR WHIP BACK AND FORTH.
Sorry
