Feature & Follow Friday #66

Current Giveaway on Alison Can Read

GIVEAWAY: 30th Birthday $30 Amazon Gift Card

Welcome to Feature & Follow Friday (err Thursday) on Parajunkee.com

If you are new to the #FF fun, Feature & Follow Friday is a blog hop that expands your blog following by a joint effort between bloggers. Feature & Follow Friday is now hosted by TWO hosts, Rachel of Parajunkee and Alison of Alison Can Read. Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it'll allow us to show off more new blogs!

*Thanks so much to Rachel for allowing me to be part of the Follow Friday fun. Parajunkee is one of the best blogs out there and FF is a highlight of the blogging community. The FF has been one of my favorite parts of my week for over a year and I'm so excited to help my fellow book bloggers get to know each other better.

How does this work? First you leave your name here on this post, then you create a post on your own blog that links back to this post (easiest way is to just grab the code under the #FF picture and put it in your post) and then you visit as many blogs as you can and tell them "hi" in their comments (on the post that has the #FF image). You follow them, they follow you. Win. Win. Just make sure to follow back if someone follows you! Now to make this #FF interesting we do a FEATURE blogger.

If you are interested in becoming a Feature click on the link here for Follow Friday Feature or go to Parajunkee and click the drop down link above FEATURES > Feature & Follow Friday and get on the waiting list!

It is also required, that if you participate you must follow the hosts (Parajunkee & Alison Can Read) and the two Feature blogs.

Our Feature - A Neverending Fantasy

Hi, I'm Gee. I started blogging in early July 2011 because most of my friends don't read (their version of reading is required school reading and Seventeen magazines) and I wanted to share my opinions as well as make new friends in the blogosphere.

I like to read (obviously), shop till I drop (book-wise and clothes-wise), and just be lazy and eat Hello Panda cookies while reading on my Kindle.

My all time favorite book is THE MIRACULOUS JOURNEY OF EDWARD TULANE by Kate DiCamillo (I hope that's how you spell her name) and recent favorites of mine is THE MEPHISTO COVENANT by Trinity Faegen and The Iron Fey series by Julie Kagawa. Right now, I'm still deciding whether to read A BEAUTIFUL DARK right now or THE HUNGER GAMES... Hmm. We'll see. ^_^

Q.If you could pick one character in a book, movie or television show to swap places with, who would it be?

Well, we'll start with my obligatory answers:

Harry Potter - I'd love to be Hermione. She's in the center of the action and super smart. I'd skip Ron. I'd rather go for Harry.

Twilight - I'd love to be Bella if it meant being with Edward. I wouldn't want to give birth to a mutant vampire/human baby though. If anything, I'd rather be Alice. I'm in love with handsome, haunted Jasper and I love the idea of being psychic. I wouldn't want to live Alice's pre-Cullen life though - being alone for 30 years is not my cup of tea.

Other characters I'd like to swap places with:

Elizabeth from Pride & Prejudice
Meghan from Iron Fey - I'll take Ash any day!
Clary from The Mortal Instruments - I'll take Jace over Ash!
Anne from Anne of Green Gables
Anna - Etienne will be mine!

As a kid, I would have loved to switch places with Claudia of the Babysitters Club so I could be best friends with Stacy.

Movies:
I'd love to switch places with the girls in my two favorite romance movies - You've Got Mail and The American President.

TV:
Part of me would love to be one of those girls on My Super Sweet 16. Uber rich and spoiled.
