Q. If you could pick one character in a book, movie or television show to swap places with, who would it be?
This is a toughy because in most of my favorite novels, the character go through some really tough crap to get to the wonderful. Maybe I’m overthinking it, but a relative dies, the parents divorce, they have to watch the guy they love with someone else for a long, long while… and I’d like to avoid most of that. So I’m going to go with Min from Bet Me by Jennifer Crusie (Rom com… not YA). The stuff she goes through to get to love with Cal is seriously minor in comparison to most other novels and it is one of my favorite books of all time. Plus, Cal is seriously swoony.
TGIF is hosted by Ginger at GReads and is another weekly question meme, but I think both are fun! This week’s question is:
To-Be-Read’s: How big is your pile? Which book keeps getting pushed down the stack, but you keep meaning to read it?
According to Goodreads, my To-Read list is currently 177 books long. Physically, my “Pile” consists of about 20 e-books/ARCs, 6 library books, and about 4 books that I own but haven’t read yet. I keep meaning to pick up a book or two by Holly Black since I haven’t gotten around to reading her work and I’ve heard nothing but good things, but somehow I forget every time I go to the library!

good luck with your to read pile!
Hopping through. Definitely pick up Holly Black’s books. They’re great.
My Hop
Oooh, Min is a great character to want to be. Such a fun book and, yes, completely swoonworthy.
I just got around to Holly Black recently with White Cat and it was a good read.
Have a great weekend!
Hopping through!
Yeah, that was one of the reasons why i couldn’t really pick someone too. They get theie happy ending at the end, but i don’t think i could deal with the stuff that happens along the way :O
Have an awesome weekend, and stop by if you can!

Oh, Holly Black is my FAVORITE. Start with White Cat. You will not be sorry!

Every single time I feel like I’m making progress on my to be read pile, I add a new book (or two or three). Such fun to be an avid reader, isn’t it? :)
My to-be read pile on goodreads is massive! but my trusty owned-to-read pile is 83 books and growing steadily! Its kinda crazy actually.
Happy Reading

I’m with you on not picking characters that have to suffer, this is why I can’t see myself picking a dystopian series.

That’s a long TBR pile…mine is of a similar quantity. I haven’t read the book you were talking about, but I’ll try to make time to check it out!
