Feature & Follow Friday #3

I'm back! It's been forever since I've written here, and let me tell you, things have been crazy hectic over the last few months! I've been working on my thesis, teaching Composition and Research at my university (so much grading!), attending tons of meetings, and trying to make time for friends and family. But, I've missed blogging and I've missed reading all the book blogs out there. So, what better way to make a comeback than with a blog hop?!

Feature & Follow Friday is a blog hop hosted by Parajunkee's View and Alison Can Read every Friday. This week's featured blogs are: Murcurial Musings (Parajunkee) & Owl Tell You About It (Alison). I hope you'll stop by and say hello, if you haven't already.

Okay, here's this week's question: What book would you love to see made into a movie or television show and do you have actors/actresses in mind to play the main characters?

This is really tough, actually, because I feel like they rarely get books right in translation to film. I enjoyed Twilight okay, and I liked Harry Potter, but neither of them got it completely right. I am dying to see Hunger Games, but who isn't? So, I think right now the answer to this is that I'd like to see any regency romance turned into a film. I love period pieces, I love romance, and I know this is a really weird choice, but I'd love it! Of course, I may be the only one, so the chances are slim... but hey, a girl can dream!

As for actors, I'd really like to see Gerard Butler as the leading man. I adore him and I think he's got just the right look to play a rakish high society rogue. Female characters are where I really struggle. The truth is,I have no idea about this one. But definitely Gerard Butler for the male lead.

Another series I'd love to see turned into movies would have to be Colleen Gleason's Ordo Dracul series. The Vampire Dimitri was fantastic, I absolutely loved it! Oh, and maybe The Goddess Test, too, I really liked that one and can't wait to read Goddess Interrupted. But again, no idea for the actors and actresses.

Well, there you have it. I hope you'll take a minute to say hello and leave a link so I can return the favor. See you for next week's hop!

Follow Friday: No. 1



Hi there. This is my first Follow Friday (hosted by the awesome, Parajunkee!) and I've been waiting all week for it to get here! I'm having a good time clicking around, seeing other people's blogs and, most of all, their answers to the weekly question. So, with that said, here goes:

First things first, this week's featured blogger is Al from Magnet 4 Books. Her blog is really neat, so go check her out and don't forget to follow her blog!


What character in a book would you most like to be, what character in a book would you most like to date?

For me, this answer is twofold, so here goes...

On any given day, I would most like to be Elizabeth Bennett from my favorite book of all time, Pride and Prejudice. She's smart, strong, and full of sass! It stands to reason, then, that I would most like to date Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy!  Truly, he's a good portion of the reason I'd want to be her!!

Right now, I would also love to be Narcise Moldavi from The Vampire Narcise and date the amazingly hot Giordan Cale! I'm enjoying the book more than I thought I would, so they're my current fictional crush. I adore them!

So there you have it! Happy Follow Friday to everyone.  If you've stopped by, say hello. I love to meet new people and would love to make new book blog friends!
