I'm ready for Friday! I sort of feel like that macaron :) Are you ready for this week's round of memes?
Oh, and I have Filipino Friday up and running, so don't forget to check that out as the Filipino book community is gearing up for it's much anticipated and first-ever Filipino ReaderCon!
Meme 1: Follow Friday
Check out Follow Friday, hosted by Parajunkee.com and Alisoncanread.com, and our featured blogs Drying Ink and PedanticPhooka!
And here's this week's question to mull about:
Q. Have you ever wanted a villain to win at the end of a story? If so, which one?
I want villains to be villains! Shouldn't they always lose? Or at least suffer? There is one "villain" who totally changed my rather traditional view of villains. And that is Severus Snape of Harry Potter fame. And suffer he did.
I feel so teeny-bopper putting this animate gif, but really, I ♥ Snape. Finding out his back story just shows that we should never judge people. You just never know.

I'm writing up my review of this rather unusual book The Economics of Ego Surplus: A Novel of Economic Terrorism by Paul McDonnold and this is what page 56 has:
That sounded like about the time I had hacked his email account.
Now I know you're going to watch out for my review.

Meme 2: Book Blogger HopI like this week's question!
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'm such an eclectic reader already that this would definitely not be a problem for me! Short but sweet answer, and I look forward to seeing what others think!
Happy Friday everyone! Enjoy your book blog hopping!
I also love Snape! Such a well written character :D Old follower, just hopping through.

Snape is the ultimate villain that you want to win. How did I not think about him?

I love Snape! I was debating whether to put him in my answer or not, but I wasn't sure if I could call him a villain or not. But yes, he did suffer...
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend! Thanks for stopping by. :)

I chose Snape as my answer to this question! I didn't want him to die.
ReplyDeleteI'll be looking for your review of Paul McDonnold's book. I reviewed it a few months ago!

I love Snape too, but I don't think I'd classify him as a villain.
