Friday Hops ~ October 21

Every Friday, Parajunkee and Alison Can Read host Follow my Book Blog Friday! So welcome to another stop on this hop!

It's fairly simple - follow the hosting blogs, the featured blogs, and then use the list of links to discover new blogs you may not have found yet! It's a great way to connect with new people and if someone stops by, make sure to check out their blog too!

The featured bloggers for this week are Book Savvy Babe and The Bursting Bookshelf!

And this week's question is...

Q: What superhero is your alter-ego?

A: Another tough one. I always find these questions difficult to answer! Batman is my favourite, but to be honest he really isn't my alter ego. And Batwoman/Batgirl are such fakes.

But I've always kind of felt like I identified with Rogue. She just always seems kind of lonely, you know? But tough, all at the same time, in one package.



TGIF at GReads Books

This week's theme is...
Book Blogs That Make You Smile: Pick 5 book blogs you visit often & think others should, too.


1. A Cupcake and a Latte

Wendy is up to date with current book news, and I find my taste in books to be very much in line with hers. So I stalk her. Regularly. And I love it because she's so sweet <3

2. The Lady Critic's Library

Katherine is another blogger who I find seems to share similar likes and dislikes as I do in books. She's definitely worth following because of how much attention she pays to the lesser known books! A great place to find other great reads :)

3. Katie's Book Blog

Katie is fortunate to have tons of access to some of the best upcoming books- and she's always on top of it. Plus she has some really fun features and special posts unique to her blog.

4. Xpresso Reads

Giselle is incredibly active, which is great because it means she has tons of information on hot upcoming books :) Plus she's just a pleasant person to chat with when it comes to books!

Sorry, but I only read 4 regularly! There are tons of others I check out once in a while but these are the daily ones.

Friday Hops ~ 09/30

Every Friday,  Parajunkee and Alison Can Read host 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! And if someone follows you, be kind and follow back! It's a fun way to find new bloggers to read and make new connections :)

Featured Bloggers for this week are The Bookaholic and Starcrossed!

Q. What book that hasn't been turned into a movie (yet) would you most like to see make it to the big screen, and who would you like cast as your favorite character?

I'm really hesitant to pick one, because I tend to be kind of afraid that they'll mess it up! Seriously, it's only recently that I've begun to calm down over The Hunger Games and I'm doing my best to stay optimistic, because to be honest I've liked what they've done so far. Even though the casting was questionable at first.

I'm kind of tempted to say Delirium by Lauren Oliver because I think it could be done really well, and if you've been reading my blog for a while you'll know that I'm just crazy about Delirium. But I'd be terrified that they'd ruin it. And I can't think of any actors I'd love to see in those roles.

Another book series I'd love to see made into a movie is Ally Carter's Gallagher Girls. I think that one could be a lot of fun, but I could see someone like Amanda Seyfried playing Cammie. I think she has the sort of look, and not only is she a talented actress but she kind of has that same light and quirky feel that Cammie has.

Q. It's that pesky magic book fairy again! She has another wish: What imaginary book world would you like to make a reality?

A: Something full of magic. In particular, I'm thinking Gail Carson Levine's Ella Enchanted/Fairest world. I think that would be so much fun, and such a wonderful place! And if you haven't read any of her books, definitely pick them up and give them a chance!





And Crazy-for-Books hosts another awesome weekend book hop which starts today!



This week's question is As a book blogger, how do you introduce yourself in your profile?

This is actually something I need to update! I give a little bit of information about me and why I started blogging, but I'd like to explain a bit more about myself so that people have a better idea of where I'm coming from. I like to include a bit of personal background information like my age and interests, and explain why I'm interested in blogging and what you can hope to see from me in the future.

And last, but not least, there's TGIF at Greads.

This Friday's Question:

Book Disappointments: Have you ever come across a book you were so stoked to read, but it failed miserably in your eyes? 

Oh, definitely. There are always some of those, which is unfortunate, but it happens. For me, this book was Ever by Gail Carson Levine. I love ALL of her other books, and while Ever was different from her other ones it just fell flat for me. I didn't love the story, and the characters seemed kind of dry.
