THIS WEEK'S QUESTION: WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU WOULD DO IF YOU WOKE UP TO FIND YOURSELF IN YOUR FAVORITE BOOK?

My Answer: Well, since my favourite books-to-date are written by Stacia Kane, I'd probably sh#$t myself. Why? Because The Downside Ghosts series are all about creepy rituals, magic, violence, murder and a shady drug trade. I'm just not cut out for that sort of thing, although, I wouldn't mind a little wander around Laurell K Hamilton's books just for the super hot guys and no apology policy for blowing someone's head off that seriously pisses you off.

This week's question: Who is your favourite villain from a book?

My answer: See, this is a tough one because I always like the bad boys or those really crazy nasty people that make the story that much more colourful with their twisted perception and nefarious agendas.
Though not especially villains, I'm quite partial to the constant derailment of Jean-Claude in the Anita Blake vampire series and Christian Grey from fifty shades - no one likes to always read about the straight-laced good guy. Boring ...

This week's question: Birthday Wishes - Blow out the candles and imagine what character could pop out of your cake .. who is it, and what book are they from?


My answer: (Beware of the goo factor) ... is Asher from Laurell. K .Hamilton's Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series. I'd like to say he would come bearing world peace in one hand and more chocolate frosting for my birthday cake in the other. Alas, I am shallow and craving more than cocoa and philanthropy. 
I want me a few century old, sexy, French vampire who is an absolute pro between the sheets. (cover your eyes parentals) I say, yes please to a non stop ... shall we say ... happy moment teamed with zero chance of procreation.
Anyway, my Friday just got a hell of a lot better. Now where's my damn cake?

This week's question: Have you had a character that disappointed you? One that you fell in love with and then 'broke up' with later in either a series or a stand-alone book? Tell us about him or her.


My answer: Kudos, Parajunkee for picking Anita Blake. Talk about a whiplash of hypocrisy, I couldn't agree more! Anita Blake was empowerment for women, serious vampire killer, and extremely choosey when it came to her men. Now she's forgotten her natural talents in lieu of metaphysical ones, sleeps with vampires rather than staking them, and still spends far too much time arguing with anyone who'll listen about her sex life! 


But, although this is definitely my pick too, I will say in Richelle Mead's Succubus series I was mad keen for Seth for a while. I backed that mortal through thick and thin, and then I fell for Roman, the bad boy half angel introduced early on into the series. For a while I was totally barracking for him, but I suspect more than anything for a change of pace and to tickle my fancy. Naturally, I came back around to Mr.Right (Seth) again, but it still didn't stop me from wanting the bad boy. Typical.







Have a great weekend everyone!


Kristy :)
