Q: You are a matchmaker — your goal, hook up two characters from two of your favorite books. Who would it be? How do you think it would go?

A: Um, hardest question EVER! I'm terrible at crossover fanfiction, and usually run far from fanfics that mix up my favorite book characters- but a hook-up between books is always fun! 
So let's see.
If I pair up Karou from the Daughter of Smoke and Bone with Barron Sharpe from Holly Black's Curse Workers, the result would be catastrophic. He'd con her out of all her wishes, and she'd kick his ass big time for it. Would be a fun scenario.

    Hopping through. That's something I hadn't ever thought of. Karou and Barron would be fascinating and dangerous.

    The Daughter of Smoke is still in my TBR pile, so I haven't gotten to it yet. I am definitely curious looking at your match-up.

    Thanks for stopping by! Returning the follow via GFC ^_^

Do we really need a preface? Anyway, Feature and Follow is by Paranjunkee and Alison Can Read and is all about blog love. Q: Best Cover? What is the best cover of a book that you’ve read and didn’t like? A: Oh, easy peasy. Masque of Red Death by Bethany Griffin. I loved the cover, but I didn't like the book. I couldn't connect with any of the characters, and finally just abandoned it somewhere near the end. I don't even want to know how it ended, or if there is a new book in the series. It wasn't sucky writing or a sucky plot, it just completely failed to make any kind of impact on me. What are your picks? Leave your links, let's share some follower love :)

Ah, been a while since I did one of these. Anyway, as you all know, Feature and Follow Friday is hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read , and is all about spreading some blogosphere love. The question for this week is: Q. Have You Ever Bought a Book Because of a Bad Review? A: Yes, I bought the Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare after one of my good friends read the book and trashed it so much that I just HAD to read it. Of course, her being a Harry Potter fan and fan-fiction writer was the main problem here: she had heard about the whole plagiarism fiasco and we had both read Cassandra's HP fanfic- the Draco Trilogy- and she thought the Mortal Instruments was basically a recycling of DT. Anyway, I read the book and sort of liked it: it was mindless fun if you ignored all the glamour-people and HP comparisons and glitter fizz. I liked Magnus Bane, at least. Leave your FF links :) Happy Follow Friday!

    So it's my very first Follow Friday blog-hop. Yaayy.  Follow Friday is hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read , and this week's question is.....          Q: Which book genre do you avoid at all costs and why?   A. This one's easy.  Historical romance.  Give me anything with princes, princesses, marquises, swooning heroines, men in breeches, stories about evil twins and lost princes and inheritances and dowries...and I'll faint. But not before I barf.      Anything where women don't wear jeans or, in fact, anything above the knee, cannot stand up for themselves against abusive males (or do stand up and is branded a rebel, a wild-cat to be TAMED. UGH) and one look from a male melts off her kneecaps is a no-no for me. Put in castles and old English and nasty, unfleeable arranged marriages and I am dead. Bear in mind that I'm talking about those pink-and-yellow jacketed...
