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

Haha yepp! I'm a poli sci major (I mostly study theory and some international relations) and French translation minor. Fun facts that are boring! ;)

Thanks for stoping by Melannie! I'm about to stop by yours as well :)

Danielle Gorman said...

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!

Ok, confession. I haven't read ANY of those books! Eek, I know, I'm lame! I do have the Hunger Games Trilogy on my shelves and I plan on starting them this weekend.

Hey, thanks for stopping by my blog! I followed you back AND I'm going to enter your giveaway because it sounds awesome.

P.S. I'm diggin' your blog design. I'm a big Disney Fan and this is so magical-Disney-esque. Love.

Making a difference is important. It may be why I'm a teacher, don't know. But I like your answer.

Thanks for visiting StuckInBooks.com FF

And BTW stay on Team Ash's side. I finished the series recently (Iron Knight) - you will not regret staying on this team.

Alyssa Nelson said...

I can understand the desire to not have so much drama in the romance department. Great answer!

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!

Lea Christine said...

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 :)

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

Bex said...

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!

i'd love to be my own sort of Katniss character. I recently dyed my blonde hair brown, and now I feel all katniss-y lol! (I WISH!)

Followin you! Hope you'll come by my blog and tell me what your fav book of 2011 has been so far!
