Feature & Follow Friday (9)

Feature & Follow Friday is a weekly meme created by Parajunkee and co-hosted by Alison Can Read where bloggers hop around meeting and following other bloggers.

  • Follow Follow Follow as many as you can, as many as you want, or just follow a few. The whole point is to make new friends and find new blogs. Also, don't just follow, comment and say hi. Another blogger might not know you are a new follower if you don't say "HI"
  • If someone comments and says they are following you, be a dear and follow back. Spread the Love...and the followers
  • If you're new to the follow friday hop, comment and let me know, so I can stop by and check out your blog!



  • Q. If you could write yourself a part in a book, what book would it be and 
    what role would you play in that book?

    Actually, I have no idea. I mean, I'd love to be one of Mr. Darcy's sister (I wouldn't steal him from Elizabeth!) or a Shawdowhunter. But maybe a role I would love to have is a Greek Goddess... yes! This is the one, I love Greek mythology and I know all about it so that should be the perfect role for me :)
    Now, which Goddess? I have no idea, I like all of them. Maybe Artemis or Aphrodite... and if I go for the male God that would be Dionisos because I just love how crazy and great he is! (and because I'm crazy like that xD)

    What about you, guys? Tell me a role you would love to have, I'm sure there's going to be really interesting answers, hahaha.

    Also, if you have time, check my interview with Sharde Richardson, author of "Watched" HERE.

    Have a great weekend!

    4. oooh, Shadowhunter, that's a good one! If I was a greek goddess I'd probably be the huntress Artemis, and my version would be a wild woman who goes around breaking men's hearts. haha

      I'm following you back, THANKS for following me =)

    5. Oh I <3 Greek mythology! Ever since I did a unit of it in 7th grade I've been addicted to it! Loving the new books out there that have been threading in some Greek mythology elements!

      I would so go with Artemis! She was my fave! I liked how she was a tomboy of sorts. When I was 13 I went through a phase like that of sorts. But still thought she was total kickass!

      Here's my Friday Hops

      Have a GREAT weekend!

    7. Greek mythology! It didn't occur to me to pick that one. I did my high school research paper on Greek mythology and I adore it. Definitely need to read some more of the genre.

      New follower. Thanks for the follow :)

    8. If I were a Greek God, my favorite thing to do would be to intervene in people's lives. Being a natural nosy-body would be just marvelous!


      PS: I'm a new follower! Please check out my post, where I desperately want to be written into GONE WITH THE WIND. Thanks!

    14. Good morning! Thank u for stopping by my blog :) I love to meet new ppl ESPECIALLY fellow Peruvians! Well, I am not a true Peruvian but an "adopted" one. My husband (boyfriend of 7 years) was born & raised in Lima, Dad was 100% Peruvian, Mom is like me-Irish,German,Polish,etc.etc.
      Luis/Mike looks like his Mom & Brian his brother looks like the real Peruvian..Luis(Mike) is the "Undercover Peruvian" lolz.
      The family goes to Lima at least 1x a year.
      I JUST had Lomo Saltado last night.
      I CANT WAIT to go to Peru. I have ALWAYS wanted to go there looong b4 I met Luis/Mike & long b4 it became a tourist destination. I want to do the typical tourist thing & do a volunteer stint up in the mountains.
      Brian was JUST in Brasilia too! Small world. Kinda cool. How is Switzerland? My Father loved it, he was there during the War (he had me very late in life).
      Sorry to blabber on your page like this * embarrassed*
      I was excited to learn of your cool background.
      Have gr8 Friday, I am off to work but had to post this b4 I forgot.

    15. I followed you back!! And I think Greek Mythology is so interesting! What books do you recommend? Something that's true to the REAL Greek Mythology and has some action in it and maybe romance if thats possible

    16. Hey Alaiel,

      I approve of your choice wholeheartedly! Greek mythology has so many interesting archetypes and stories to choose from that I can see you have a lot of fun exploring them!

      Have a lovely weekend!

    19. Hi! I'm a new follower, and am really enjoying reading through your reviews and recommendations. It's so cool that you chose Greek Mythology for your character. I just finished a book by a new author that I'm working with called (S)Mythology by Jeremy Tarr. It's a modern day fairy tale that is wry and whimsical, and tackles life...death...and the Underworld. The book is super cute and has illustrations by artist Katy Smail, which really bring the main character Sophie to life. Sophie has really fantastical adventures meeting really wild characters that make the story so much fun.

      It's definitely akin to a lot of mythological stories and characters and I think you'd really like it!

      You can read the first three chapters and check out the illustrations at www.smythology.co.uk or check out the book on Amazon here: http://amzn.to/Shardcover.

      Love the blog!

    21. Awww, how nice are you, being Mr. Darcy's sister!! lol I wouldn't be so nice. ;) Being a greek goddess would be so intense but a lot of fun!

      I chose being Mia in the Princess Diaries series OR Yelena in Poison Study. Princess or an assassin. That's how I role! :D

      Wow, being a goddess would be pretty cool. Neat idea!

    24. Great answer and I love Greek mythology too! I'd probably choose to be Athena.

      Thanks for visiting my blog and I'm now following you back!

    25. Thanks for commenting on my FF. Am now following you. :) I have to admit, Greek myths did cross my mind, but I went the Douglas Adams route instead. Buuuuuut if I could be a Greek myth I think I'd like to be... Hermes. He is so clever and helpful and does all sorts of things for the gods (or to them!). I just think he's awesome.
