Follow Friday 8/19/11


Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by ParaJunkee & Alison Can Read – helping bloggers get out there and meet new bloggers!

Be sure to clink on the picture to add your Follow Friday to the linky.

Guess what?  This week, I'm one of the featured blogger for Follow Friday!  Check out Alison Can Read to find out more about me!


Question: If you could write yourself a part in a book, what book would it be and what role would you play in that book?

An interesting thought, writing myself into a book.   Not sure that I'll the hereon type.  Maybe I could be the brilliant tutor who trained the new shadowhunters in Cassandra Clare's books.  I am a teacher after all, that's where I'm comfortable.  Okay, yes, I like this.  I will be Clary's new teacher in City of Lost Souls.  I can teach her the ruins and how to use them.  This would be a perfect job for me!

What about you?

    Ok, I think I answered this question wrong haha. I didn't do specifics, I just said what type of book I'd want to be in and the type of character I'd want to be. I did put a picture of Fred and George on the post... oh well!

    New Follower :) Your blog is so cute; I love purple!

    I'm not a new follower, but I love your idea for the book part! :) A shadowhunter job really does sound like a fun job, good choice!

    I also just saw your Team Ash button.. I'm in the middle of Iron Daughter right now and I'm LOVING it! Definitely more of an Ash fan, thus far.

    Oh nice! I think you're the first one that didn't chose the lead girl!

    But I can see why you would wanna be a shadowhunter teacher, then you could have infinite adoration and respect from your students! and maybe one of them will fall in love with you, like in Vampire Academy hahahaha

    Brand new to this whole book blogging and Follow Friday thing--can't wait to see how it goes! I've been reading some great entries. I'm not necessarily the heroine type either, but I think maybe I could be in some of these great fictional worlds.

I know I would have loved that when I was in school. I like your answer to this week's question. I haven't read any of Cassandra Clare's books yet, but they're on my list.

    You have a good point about being a teacher in a book. Hmmm. If I wrote myself into a book, I don't think I would be an adult! Being Anne Shirley's best friend with more gumption than Diana has always been my goal. I'd tell her to move beyond Gilbert, too!

    I took this question a little differently. I saw primarily the "write yourself in" part, because I don't think I'd want to write myself into somebody else's already awesome story.

    Old follower stopping by. Congratulations on being the Feature on Follow Friday! I am also a middle school teacher, teach 8th grade science, but I want to be a school librarian. Like you, a lot of the young books I read started to keep up with my students, but I grew to love them, and now read and share new ideas for the kids to read. One day I'll have a library of my own to do this in. I'm like you, don't know that I'm a heroine, but would like a side part in a novel.
