Hopping for the Weekend

It's time for the weekly book blogger hops again! A great opportunity to meet new bloggers and say hi to old.

Crazy For Books' Book Blogger Hop

Book Blogger Hop

Parajunkee's Follow My Book Blog Friday.




I'm Alison. I've been blogging for a year. I review mainly YA with a few MG books and a weekly manga feature.

On the blog this week:

Discussion:

Blogger Advice: Part 2

Reviews:

Queen of the Dead by Stacey Kade
Silver Phoenix by Cindy Pon

Manga Mondays

Vampire Knight vol. 11 by Matsuri Hino

Questions of the Week:

Blog Hop:

Follow Friday: The magic book fairy pops out of your cereal box and says "you and your favorite character (from a book of course) can switch places!" Who are you going to switch with?

I sound like a broken record in all of these types of questions. I'm going to go with Twilight yet again. I would switch places with Alice. Especially if I could be psychic, but mostly because I am in love with Jasper.

The second one is also a broken record. Harry Potter. I would switch places with Hermione. She's in the center of the action, but not in quite as much danger as Harry. I don't know if I'd want to marry Ron though.

  4. I've always been more of a Jacob Black fan but can totally understand the Jasper appeal. Maybe its the aloof and disturbed characteristic. Have a great weekend!

  5. I completely forgot about Alice & Jasper! Awesome choice! :)

  6. Did you know that it's been forever since I've taken part in FF o_0 Are you moved out to California yet?

    Lol, yeah I'm not sure about the marrying Ron. I mean he's nice and all... but he comes off as kind of dull at times sadly. You could follow the Cassandra Clare version and go with Draco instead ^.~

  7. I'm not really a Twilight person, but I did like Alice!

  18. I would switch places with Hermione in an instant! Who wouldn't want to live in the Harry Potter world for a little while? Have a great weekend Alison!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Just hopping through :) I absolutely adore Alice, she is ultimately my favorite in the series and as a collector of Barbie Dolls since a young age, I would love to have her doll to match the Edward one that I have.

    I'm not so sure I would want to be Hermione though she is incredibly intelligent and has a love of reading she doesn't really have any charm about her to me, I would rather be Ginny :)

  20. Strangely, I have never read a book, where I wanted to traded places with the character. Or atleast I can't think of one off the top of my head. I would love to visit Hogwarts, that would be interesting.

  21. Well, as I can't fathom a reason for not wanting to be born or marry into thee Weasley clan, I'm not sitting here wondering which Weasley it is that you love, as it's obviously not Ron!

    Alice and Jasper were my favourite parts of the Twilight Saga - love you for choosing Alice!


    Take a look at my Follow Friday?

    ReplyDelete
  22. I chose Hermione as one of my choices. And, Bella as one too. But, if I couldn't have Edward, I'd want to be Alice so I could have Jasper. :)

    ReplyDelete
  23. I adore Alice. She's so cute and petite yet one of the most vicious vamps in the series! Old follower. Happy Friday!

  42. Twilight/Harry Potter - I think I am the only person on the planet to have not read/watched either of those franchises. More often that not I find myself turned away from the popular stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Alice is my favorite character in Twilight. I am so jealous of her hair!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Alice is a good choice! She was a really interesting character, and Jasper was too. Nice choice!

  45. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I think Alice is an excellent choice and so is Hermione.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Alice is really good choice, she is definitely my favorite character in Twilight, and she actually can take care of herself! Thanks for stopping by my blog!

    ReplyDelete
  47. Hopping through on the Friday Follow...have a great weekend! Alice and Hermoine are great choices.

  48. Hopping through! I hope you're having an excellent weekend. Definitely check out the Night Huntress series by Jeaniene Frost. They're wonderful.. Bones is wonderful. ;)

  49. I think Hermione is a good choice. I don't want anything to do with that vampire stuff, though. I mean, I enjoy reading about it, but wouldn't want to be in those shoes!

    ReplyDelete
  50. I love that you picked Alice - I suppose most people would say Bella so it's nice to see someone pick something different. And I can definitely see why you would!

    Jamie @ Bookerella

    ReplyDelete
  51. Ooooh - good choices. I can definitely see the logic behind both choices. :)

  52. I've seen quite a few people pick Alice. Hermione would be awesome, but I'd quite like Luna Lovegood, she's so funny and weird.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog. Have a great weekend.

  54. Hiya,
    Thanks for visiting my blog :) and for your comment.
    New follower here! Great blog.
    You asked what Lost in Austen is? It's a television series we had on over here in the UK where a present day woman who loves Jane Austen ends up changing places and going back to Austen's time.
    Best wishes,
    Lindsay

  55. Great answers! Wouldn't it be awesome to be psychic??? Hermione would be neat to switch with as well. :)

    ReplyDelete
  56. Definitely pass on the Ron thing heh.

    Nice choices.

  57. Great answer - i wouldn't mind switching with Alice either. She was definitely my favorite character from the series (so much more so from the book than the movie).

    Good reading ~ Escape by Fiction :)

    ReplyDelete
  58. I am not a fan of Twilight (I know, I'm sorry!) but I really did enjoy Alice. She seemed like such a laid back girl. I'd hang out with her, as long as she wasn't predicting my doom.

    And I am so with you on Ron.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Two great choices! Thanks for stopping by my blog!

  64. I like Alice (and a lot Jasper, lol) but I can't say the same thing about Hermione because I've never read/watched Harry Potter... I know, I'm scandalous but I just don't seem to be interested in HP! -.-

    ReplyDelete
  65. Hey, it would be awesome to be Alice, she's one of my favourite characters from the Twilight Saga. Hope you had a great weekend =)

    ReplyDelete

  68. Hahaha! I don't know if I'd want to marry Ron, either. You crack me up.

    I'd switch places with Bella Swan, because I would make WAY better choices than her, including breaking up with the creepy stalker boyfriend, and not letting myself become the undead!

    Actually, I might switch places with Elizabeth Bennet. Then I could have Mr. Darcy all to myself, and get to live at Pemberley, which sounds lovely, doesn't it?

    ReplyDelete
  69. Lol, I don't know if I'd want to marry Ron either. I love him in the films and as an actor but in the books I don't really have a crush on him. But Hermione is such a great choice! ;)

  73. I had to think really hard to find someone that wasn't harry potter :)

    ReplyDelete
  74. Hi! thanks for stopping by my blog :)...I said that I would be Jo from Little Women. I totally agree with you, I always wanted her to end up with Laurie haha! I like your choice of Alice...she's a kick butt girl, but she's so sweet too! :)

    ReplyDelete
  75. Switching places with Alice would be fun, but if I were gonna switch places with anyone in Twilight it would be...dun dun duuuuuuun - Rosalie - but then again anyone who knows me would know the answer to that already. Haha, though I went with Rose Hathaway from TVA. :)
