Reading Maleficent while having a dreaded cold combined with headache. Wanted to read this before the movie anyway! Really liking it so far and oh wow was there a shocker of info before the story really even kicks into gear!!

This week's topic is: Ten Books About with Great Friendships

*in no particular order

A most difficult feat for me since not many of my books I've read were actually all about friendship. Or had friendship as a main theme. Apparently all I could come up with were YA titles! Not too many adult titles were ringing in my head as books of friendship.

1. Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead--you can say friendship's a theme here, because Rose and Lissa are BFFs and Rose will do anything and everything to keep Lissa safe.

2. Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling--note I am not specifying any title exactly, because all the Harry Potter books exhibit a great emphasis on friendship. Harry, Ron and Hermione are truly the best of friends and are always there for one another!

3. Secrets and Shadows by Shannon Delany--another series where you can say just about any of them place a great emphasis on friendship. Jessie has some great friends on her side and even when one gets hurt, there's no stopping her and the rest from protecting that friend at all costs!

 

 4. Twisted by Gena Showalter--you didn't think I would not mention a fave series that needs help and love to be continued, did you? Aden has got some great friends at his back and in his head, and that's only one of the reasons why I love this series! BUY BUY BUY!!

5. Before I Wake by Rachel Vincent--again, this is a series where you can pick almost any book for a friendship theme! Kaylee's best friend Emma, truly is the greatest! And Kaylee's already proven more than once what lengths she'll go to, to keep Em safe!

6. The Witch with No Name by Kim Harrison--really I just chose this cover because I love it! It's all new and shiny! Rachel, Ivy, and Jenks are another great trio of friends! They all go to amazing lengths to help each other out and keep each other safe! And this final book will prove no different I am sure!

7. The Iron King by Julie Kagawa--I thought Meghan and Puck's friendship was truly awesome here! Even when she knew him as Robbie, he was the best friend she had! Loved their friendship. Besides, Puck is just awesome!

8. The Iron Knight by Julie Kagawa--yup, more Puck! Puck and Ash used to be friends, then they weren't. But here we get to see a bit of that spark of friendship again and I loved seeing how these two worked out their differences...to a point.

9. The Collector by Victoria Scott--Charlie may not be popular, but she does have some good friends. She's a great friend! Even Dante's best friend (sooo blanking on his name) was great! While the two aren't quite good at the moment, they were pretty funny together!

10. What's a Ghoul to Do? by Victoria Laurie--aha! One more adult book that sprang to mind for friendships! And it's not just the one book either, the series as a whole to date have a good friendship between M.J. and Gilley! Ever since they were kids these two have been friends! And I love their friendship! They each seem to know what the other needs when they need it! Even if M.J. wants to kill Gilley like 75% of the time!
