Happy Friday!! (7)

Happy Friday everyone!  I have the day off today so I am super excited for a three day weekend! 

The Book Blog Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Jen at Crazy for Books.

This week's question is: 
“What is your favorite spooky book (i.e. mystery/suspense, thriller, ghost story, etc.)?”

My favorite spooky book is The Shining by Stephen King.  I read it in Junior High and it still scares me to think about it!  The book is way scarier than the movie and I remember reading it when I was home by myself and being completely freaked out. 

What's your favorite spooky book?

Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee's View and Alison Can Read.
This week's question is:  If you could have characters from a particular book meet and form an epic storyline with characters from a particular TV series, which would you choose and why?

I would have the characters from the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning join up with the cast of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.  I think Mac and Buffy could kick some series butt together and Angel and Barrons would be a smoking hot team.  This team would have no trouble saving the world from all kinds of demons and unseelie.

Have a great weekend!

  2. I think King is going to be the big name when it comes to this. I have to say that although his books have never scared me, they are good about atmosphere. I agree with Amber on the Fever/Buffy thing.

  3. I think The Shining is one of King's scarier books too. It scared me more the second time I read it a few years ago.

  7. I have The Shining in my To-Read pile ... naturally, I keep putting it off. I always remember that Friends episode where Joey has to put it in the freezer because it scares him so much. Maybe I'll wait until there's more room in my freezer! :-)

Review and Giveaway: "Distant Signs" by Anne Richter

Synopsis: Distant Signs is an intimate portrait of two families spanning three generations amidst turbulent political change, behind and beyond the Berlin Wall. In 1960s East Germany, Margret, a professor’s daughter from the city, meets and marries Hans, from a small village in Thuringia. The couple struggle to contend with their different backgrounds, and the emotional scars they bear from childhood in the aftermath of war. As East German history gradually unravels, with collision of the personal and political, their two families’ hidden truths are quietly revealed. An exquisitely written novel with strongly etched characters that stay with you long after the book is finished and an authentic portrayal of family life behind the iron curtain based on personal experience of the author who is East German and was 16 years old at the fall of the Berlin Wall. Why do families repeat destructive patterns of behaviour across generations? Should the personal take precedence over

Top Ten Books I Recommend The Most

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish . This week's topic:  Top Ten Books I Recommend the Most 1.) The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons   2.) Outlander by Diana Gabaldon           If you read my blog at all, you know I love these two books so much!  I am not afraid to suggest them to anyone who I think might enjoy them. 3.) The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins - I was definitely recommending this book left and right when the first movie came out. 4.) The Fault in Our Stars by John Green 5.) A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin           These are two books that I just recently started recommending but they are books that can appeal to anyone so they are easy picks when someone asks for a recommendation. 6.) Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead  - I get a little embarrassed when I recommend this book to people but seriously, just because it has vampires does not mean it is like Twilight. 7.) The Giver by Lois

Book Blog Hop (11)

The Book Blogger Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Jen at Crazy for Books .  It's a way to meet other bloggers and check out some cool new blogs. This week's question is:  "Highlight one book you have received this week that you can't wait to dig into!" Okay, I have a confession to make.  I have been so busy this week that I have not had time to get any new books.  I have several waiting for me at the library but I won't be able to pick them up until this weekend.  : ( Did you all get any exciting new books this week?
