I Am Back and Friday Follow.

Okay, so I know I was MIA for like a month or so, but that does NOT mean Blogger can go all Facebook on my ass by changing the interface COMPLETELY. 

WHAT IS GOING ON?

WHY DOES MY POST BOX LOOK SO DIFFERENT?

I guess I'll just have to put on my big girl panties on and deal with it. People have had it worse. They had to run from Voldy No-Nose Lord for seven bloody years, fight in The Hunger Games whilst people with whisker's and dyed skin with gems implanted in them watched , or worse still, become a princess in an awesome funny book which Disney RUINS by making it into a lame movie where MICHAEL-FREAKING-MOSCOVITZ ISN'T EVEN THERE. And MIA ISN'T EVEN BLONDE.AND GRANDMERE ISN'T EVEN SCARY. Oh, and Boris and Tina are a no-show too. Grr, okay now I am just upset. 

So, (FINALLY) moving on, I am here to apologize for my long absence, which was because I was super busy with my exams and shit. However,it's the first day of my summer vacations and so I am back to blogging, and am gonna post several book, movies and TV Show recs soon.

Q: Fight! Fight! If you could have two fictional characters battle it out (preferably from books), who would they be and who do you think would win?

Cheshire Cat and Fat Louie. Fat Louie would just sit and laze about and be fat, while Cheshire Cat impresses with his wit and smile.

So, maybe there would be no fight. Mmmm.

How about Arnold, the pygmy puff and Pigwidgeon, the tiny cute owl?

Their fight would be all cute and adorable, like two small furballs rolling about. It would be more like a fur-fest, than a fight. 

So for reals, Gandalf and Dumbledore and I'll never know who won because I can't tell one from the other.

Also, Walt Whitman could have joined if it wasn't strictly fictional characters. 

Ho, Ho, Brandish those beards.  

Q. Book Blogger Influences: Has there been a particular 

book blogger who's influenced what you read? Share with us a review/book blog 

that convinced you to pick up a certain book.

Before I started blogging or knew that Goodreads existed, I read tons of books based on The Story Siren's reviews. Kristi just had this large number of YA books in her archive, so I used to go about leisurely through them and make a to-read list. It didn't influence my reading choice per se but when I was in the mood for YA, it helped. I still do that sometimes, like once a month or something.  Everything is just so systematic and regular in that blog. (Unlike this one :P) 

However, these days I just use Goodreads. I fucking love that site. 

Please drop by links to your answers.

Q: What book would you love to see made into a movie or television show and do you have actors/actresses in mind to play the main characters?

Paper Towns by John Green into a TV Show because they are way awesome-r than movies.

Adam Brody as Quentin "Q" Jacobsen.
I reeeeeeealy miss Seth Cohen and Brody needs to get back in my TV Screen.

For Margo Roth Spiegelman, I honestly couldn't think of any actress. 

Maybe a cross between Kristen Stewart and Zooey Deschanel i.e Strange and sullen meets Manic Dream Pixie Girl.

Donald Glover as Marcus "Radar" Lincoln. GEEEEEEEKTASTIC!

And the effervescent Dianna Agron as Lacey Pemberton.
Because I hate what Glee is doing to Quinn Fabray and Lady Di deserves much much more. 

Book Moments: What has been your favorite moment (scene) in a book that you've read so far in 2012? Please be kind & not include spoilers.

"He looked into the water, then he looked at back at her, and simply shook his head as he raised a hand to cover his mouth. By this gesture he assumed full responsibility, but at that moment, she hated him for the inadequacy of the response. He glanced toward the basin and sighed. For a moment he thought she was about to step backward onto the vase, and he raised his hand and pointed, though he said nothing. Instead he began to unbutton his shirt. Immediately she knew what he was about. Intolerable. He had come to the house and removed his shoes and socks—well, she would show him then. She kicked off her sandals, unbuttoned her blouse and removed it, unfastened her skirt and stepped out of it and went to the basin wall. He stood with hands on his hips and stared as she climbed into the water in her underwear. Denying his help, any possibility of making amends, was his punishment. The unexpectedly freezing water that caused her to gasp was his punishment. She held her breath, and sank, leaving her hair fanned out across the surface. Drowning herself would be his punishment. When she emerged a few seconds later with a piece of pottery in each hand, he knew better than to offer to help her out of the water. The frail white nymph, from whom water cascaded far more successfully than it did from the beefy Triton, carefully placed the pieces by the vase."

Name 3 authors that you would love to sit down and spend an hour or a meal with just talking about either their books or get advice on writing from?

J.K Rowling

I would just talk to her about the HP books and ask her a gazillion questions about the potter universe!

Also I would thank her because with Harry Potter I highly doubt my childhood would have been the same!

Sylvia Plath

I guess I would have to meet her in the afterlife or something. I have always thought she was like my twin soul and I would be happy just to be close to her.

Sophie Kinsella

We would Shop, Shop and then Shop some more.

Q. Let's step away from besties...What is the worst book that you've ever read and actually finished?

This was pretty easy since usually I stop reading after the first chapter unless I love the book.

Yes dear authors remember First Chapter= Most Important Part Of The Book

I mean it should at least be attention holding!

Like this book for example, Sleepless By Terri Clark, the first chapter was really good which explains why I read it entirely.

But sadly the book was the worst I have ever read...So again my dear authors remember The Rest Of The Book= Also Pretty Important.


No Pressure though. :P 

Anyhoo Check out my review of the book Sleepless By Terri Clark

This Friday's Question:

Blogger Confession: What's the last book you could not finish? 

(or had a hard time finishing?)

So freaking many!!!

I have like a plethora of books I have stopped reading mid-way!

Of the top of my head..

The Book Of Luke by jenny o'connell (I might read this though)

The Diary Of Anne Frank( this is a little embarassing what with it being a literary classic and all but in my defence I was a kid when I had started reading it)

Lord Of The Rings( Okay I am officially hiding my face now!! I love the LOTR movies..okay..maybe "love" would be an exaggeration but I did like them...I mean I loved golum and his "my preciousss" and do I even need to mention Orlando Bloom!!Again however I could not finish this book..I read it when I was a kid and all I remember is that there was like A LOT of description of trees. O.o) 

Obviously No Offence to the books I am sure they are all splendid..They just didn't catch my fancy.
