Follow & Friend Friday ~ 08/19

Every Friday,  Parajunkee hosts Follow my Book Blog Friday! So welcome to another stop on this hop!

It's fairly simple- follow the hosting blog, the feature blog, and then use the links to discover new blogs to follow! And if someone follows you, be kind and follow back! It's a fun way to find new bloggers to read :)

Featured Blogger for this week is Belle Books





Q. If you could write yourself a part in a book, what book would it be and what role would you play in that book?

Okay, confession: for a long time I've had this dream of really making a difference. I study political science for a reason: I'm not sure exactly WHAT I'd do, but I'd love to accomplish something. I wouldn't want to be in something as tragic as The Hunger Games (as much as I love it), because at the same time I don't think I could handle that much tragedy. Same reason I wouldn't want to be in a romance book- I can't handle that emotional rollercoaster ride. Maybe something more like Wither by Lauren DeStefano and Rhine?

Or you know who else I really loved? Sydney from Bloodlines by Richelle Mead. I loved her, because I felt like I related to her so well. Almost like she WAS me. So there you go- an uninteresting fact about me. ;)

P.S. If you're looking for a fabulous new series to get in to, check out my current giveaway for a copy of Marianne de Pierres' Burn Bright (Night Creatures #1)! CLICK HERE

  3. Great answer, I feel the same way. That's why I want to be a spunky side-kick. No drama. Thanks for stopping by. I am loving your blog!

  18. Same here! I want to make a difference in the world and I think that a dystopian society would be a great place for that! I just LOVE The Hunger Games and Wither -- both are two of my favourite dystopian books so far! :)

    Your blog design is so pretty, Esther! And I just love your name!

    Thanks so much for stopping by! I'm following you back for sure!

    Hope you have an awesome weekend!

  19. Happy Friday! I'm an old follower :)

    Great answers! Hmm... I don't know if I could do Rhine's world either though-- I'd actually be dead by now lol, since I'm 26!

    You can see my FF post for this week at the link below-- would love if you stopped by! Have a great weekend :)

  21. Great answer :)
    You're right, the romance genre would be too much.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Definitely a great answer! I wouldn't be able to handle too much tragedy like The Hunger Games either, though. Most of my favorites are too dark for me if I'd write myself in, actually!

    Have a wonderful weekend! :) I'm a new follower. My answer can be found here!
