This week’s
question is:
Q. Have you ever wanted a villain to win at the end of a
story? If so, which one??
I don’t think I’ve ever wanted a villain to win. Then again, I can’t really identify too many
stories where there is an obvious villain who deserves anything in life. Away from books, I wanted the vampires in the
Twilight movie to win so that they’d need a new Bella for the second movie (of
course, if she died in the first movie I know there wouldn’t have been a second
movie, then I couldn’t have seen Taylor shirtless, and that would make me sad). Anyway, I wasn’t Kristen Stewart’s biggest
fan in the first movie (okay, so I wasn’t a huge fan of the first movie all
together, the effects were terrible), but as a character I had imagined Bella a
whole lot differently, so by the middle of the movie I really wanted James to
just eat her & get it over with.

This week's
question is:
Q. “Many of us primarily read one genre of books, with
others sprinkled in. If authors stopped writing that genre, what genre would
you start reading? Or would you give up reading completely if you couldn’t read
that genre anymore?”
I don’t really know
my favorite genre within YA… I think
I read a lot of fantasy without realizing it’s fantasy though. I also like dystopian and paranormal novels a
lot. If my favorite authors stopped writing these genres (or authors in
general), but kept writing other things, I would probably follow my favorite
authors to their new genre to try something new. I certainly hope authors don’t stop writing
fantasy, paranormal, or dystopia novels, but if it does happen I’ll have to
find something else to read. I could
never give up reading all together, that just wouldn’t work for me.
Hi! I'll have to agree with you, I don't know if I would have minded James eating Bella in the first movie, either!

New follower! Ugh, I felt the same about Kristen Stewart as Bella. To this day I still can't connect to her as the character. I just think the whole saga was cast terribly. Jacob aside, of course. Taylor is perfect for the role.
ReplyDeleteI am from PA as well! haha, had to mention that.
Have a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteHere's my FF!
i agree with you - i couldn't give up reading. I'd also just find something else to read!

Hi, new follower here!
ReplyDeleteI was lucky that I didn't read the Twilight series till after the first movie came out so I've always pictured all the characters like they are in the movie! Only time that's happened to me.
Here's my FF: http://goldiloxandthethreeweres.blogspot.com/

New follower! I mostly root for the main character to win!
ReplyDeleteMy Follow Friday!
Haha. I have similar opinions on Kristen Stewart. She's a horrible Bella!
ReplyDeleteWe seem to like the same genres. I love dystopians. Have you read Angelfall by Susan Ee? If not you should I loved it! Divergent is also pretty good (nothing beats Hunger Games though).

I usually like the good guys to win, I can't say I've ever really wished the bad guys could win in a story.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I love YA too and find I lean towards paranormal and urban fantasy the most. Though I love reading just about any genre out there.
OLD FOLLOWER...love the green section headers and your background.
ReplyDeleteJust stopping by to take a look around....everything looks great.
