Let's Not Pick Favorites . . .

Actually, let's change that title to Let's Pick Favorites, because I will totally be picking favorites here.

What I did first was make a list of 10 awesome books or book series that I have read. The list was:

1. Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling

2. Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

3. Warriors by Erin Hunter

4. The Selection by Kiera Cass

5. Divergent by Veronica Roth (Just the book called Divergent. :( I haven't read the other two!)

6. The Underland Chronicles by Suzanne Collins

7. The Siren by Kiera Cass

8. The Gallagher Girls by Allie Carter

9. Peter Nimble and his Fantastic Eyes by Jonathan Auxier

10. The Familiars by Adam Jay Epstein and Andrew Jacobson

Then, I used a random word chooser to choose pairs for me to pick from. Somehow, out of the 20 opportunities to get chosen, The Familiars and The Siren weren't there at all! So I hope that Random Chooser site was legit.

Anyway, here are all the pairs and my choices. I typed the pairs in blue and underlined the winners in each pair. Feel free to skip the reasons why I chose them and just read who the winners are.

1. The Hunger Games or Warriors. I chose Warriors because it has so many awesome characters, and I get attached to all the cats! It just barely beat the Hunger Games because in Warriors, there are so many book and multiple series that I get to watch the cats grow up. (That's not weird at all . . . ) I get to read about the cats growing and changing from when they were born to when they have their own kits. The bad thing is that I am even more sad when they die.

2. Divergent or The Gallagher Girls. I chose Divergent because the characters seemed more relatable, and it was easier to tell what Tris was thinking. The Gallagher Girls was an awesome series, and I just think it was a little too confusing and sudden. Like, on page 93 in any given book in the series, they could be sitting in Covert Operations class and then on page 96 they could be being chased by an evil organization around the streets of London, with me wondering how they got in that situation in the first place! Divergent, for me, was just more enjoyable.

3. The Hunger Games or Peter Nimble. I chose Peter Nimble almost entirely because of its amazing ending and lack of death. Peter Nimble was so magical to read about, and it is so cool that the narrator can't see, so you are hearing about how things sound, smell, and feel throughout the book. The plot was genius, and at the end, all the things that happened were explained and tied neatly into one of the best endings a book has ever had. The Hunger Games ending was unsatisfactory for me, because all of the government issues and stuff were still unsolved.

4. Harry Potter or The Selection. I chose Harry Potter because the plot and the characters and the setting were so magical and fantastic. Harry Potter has always just been a family favorite, and it is just a classic worthy of re-reading over and over (which I should really do, because I haven't read it for a long time). My family got sorted online, we have a Gryffindor tapestry in our family room . . . We are just a Harry Potter family. And The Selection is amazing, also, but Harry Potter is magical.

5. Peter Nimble or The Underland Chronicles. I chose the Underland Chronicles because it has such awesome characters, and there is a whole underground world mapped out! This series is genius. Plus, they ride bats! I really love the idea that there are humans, bats, cockroaches, and mice living in harmony under the streets of New York City! Well, not harmony. At all. But this series kept me hooked to the very shocking ending. The ending of Peter Nimble was actually a lot better, but the Underland Chronicles were too exciting!

6. Divergent or The Underland Chronicles. I chose The Underland Chronicles for the same reasons as I said last time. But it beats Divergent because of Boots, who is adorable throughout the entire series! It's a 2-year-old and a cockroach making friends. What's not to like?

7. Hunger Games or The Gallagher Girls. I chose the Hunger Games because it is just so intense and so real. The kind of book that you would read for three hours and think that it had only been fifteen minutes (Not that that ever happened to me . . . ). It is a really great series, but there is way more death that I usually like to read about, unless the point of the main focus of the plot is for everyone else to die, which luckily it is! As I said, the Gallagher Girls was really kind of GOGOGOGO all the time. I do like that, but it can be a little hard to comprehend sometimes.

8. Peter Nimble or Harry Potter. I chose Harry Potter for all the reasons I said before. Peter Nimble is wonderful, but not Harry Potter wonderful.

9. Hunger Games or Divergent. I chose the Hunger Games for all the reasons I said before. This is really getting repetitive. Maybe I should do twenty books or series next time and hit "no repeats."

10. The Selection or Peter Nimble. I chose the Selection because it is such a captivating series! Some might say it was a more intense competition than the Hunger Games! It kept me reading until the end, which is almost better than the ending of Peter Nimble. Maybe even better! It was a really emotional book, too, and that made it all the more fun to read!

Well, that is all. Thank you for reading! If you have some different opinions on these choices, feel free to tell me what you think!
