This week question is: 

Have you ever wanted a villain to win at the end of a story? If so, which one?

Mostly I'm always on the good guys side, but sometimes I'm not. When this happens is because the 'villain' is just too darn sexy to say no to. Here are some examples:

1. Cam from Lauren Kate's Fallen.

2. Damon Salvatore from L.J. Smith's Vampire Diaries.

3. Eric Northman from Charlaine Harris Sookie Stackhouse Series.

I mean, who wouldn't root for these bad boys? ;)

This Friday's Question:

Books to Television: Which books would you love to see made into a TV series? or movie? 

I'd love to see Vampire Academy made into a series! Imagine something like Vampire Diaries but will a whole lot more action and kills. With Rose going around running straight into danger, and Lissa trying to deal with her spirit magic. And of course, lets not forget the gorgeous men! Dimitri with his duster, long hair and Russian accent, Christian with his dark moods and looks, and then bad boy Adrian to liven up the show *swoons* Yes, definitely TV series worthy.

As for a movie, I would kill for Jana Oliver's Demon Trappers books to be made into one. A bankrupt Atlanta city with demons running around, things almost reverting to the old times with carriages and marketplaces, witches and necromancers and demon trappers! Oh but they'd have to make the demons look realistic and scary enough. And find some hunkalicious men to play Beck, Simon and Ori.

This week question is: 

How have your reading habits changed since you were a teen? or if you are still a teen what new genres are you in love with currently?

I don't think my reading habits have changed, it's just that I read more now. A LOT more, but that’s only because I have more free time what with graduating and no more school until January. I’ve also expanded a bit in the genres that I read. I started reading fantasy, the sword & sorcery type. Then I moved along and landed on the 21st century (lol) with urban fantasy, paranormal romance (both adult and YA), and finally I discovered the Dystopias with I absolutely cannot get enough of!  ;)

This Friday's Question:

Author Block Party: If you could gather a handful of authors to hang out with, who would you choose? 

The whole point of me wanting to become a writer is so that I can write badass heroines who inspire girls all around the world. So I guess if I could hang out with some authors, it would be those who have inspired me to do just that.I mean, having written such amazing female heroes they're bound to be a bunch of impressive ladies themselves, yes?

 

                         Jane Austen                   Maria V. Snyder      

                                        Richelle Mead

                    Patricia Briggs                 Tamora Pierce

This Friday's Question:

Character Envy: If you could be one character from a book, 

who would you choose & why?

1) Rose Hathaway, from Richelle Mead's Vampire Academy series. If there ever was a more badass teenage girl around, it’s Rose. She is fiercely loyal to her friends, fights for what she believes in, is not afraid to get her hands dirty, and always needs to be in action. She has a hunk of a Russian boyfriend who can make you go weak at the knees with just one look.

2) Mercy Thompson from Patricia Briggs' Mercedes Thompson series. She is a VW mechanic and coyote shifter with some pretty awesome tattoos and a kick ass body to display them. Her best friends are a hippie vampire, a gay werewolf and his human mate. Plus she has a drool worthy werewolf neighbor who always manages to bring the sexual tension up a notch...or two.

3) Aly of Pirate's Swoop from Tamora Pierce's Daughter of the Lioness novels. Her mind runs a mile per second, and her plans cover every scenario possible, and she leads a whole nation to revolution. Although this calls for the dethatched nature of a spymaster, Aly manages to make friends and become intensely loyal to them. Also, with the persistence and affection of a crow-turned-sexy-man, she learns to love.

4) Kaylin Neya of Michelle Sagara West's Chronicles of Elantra. She lives in a world were dragons stay in their human forms and their anger is reflected by the color of their eyes (run if you see the eyes turn orange or red), god-like races constantly battle in court, a lion-man is her boss and roars at her daily for being late to work, phone calls are made through mirrors, and she has these weird tattoos on her skin which not even the greater mages (the dragons) can decipher or match in power. Her childhood sweetheart, turned grown-up enemy really cares and looks out for her, and even if she doesn’t want to admit it to herself, she still loves him.
