Feature & Follow Friday #3 (#166)

The Feature & Follow hop is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read. The aim is for book bloggers to meet other book bloggers and garner followers :D

So I think it's the 166th actual Feature & Follow but it's only the 3rd one for me - I hope that explains the post title :D

And eeeep this week I'm the featured blogger yay :DDD

This week's question:

It is up to you to do a Kickstarter campaign for your favourite book!!! Who are you casting for the main characters?

Woahhhhh this is a really hard one. I have so many favourite books and taking a real person (even if they are a really good actor/actress) and making them fit into the mold of a much-loved character I've created in my mind is really hard to do - the film version isn't how they're always pictured and expectations not necessarily met. But here goes...

I'm going to choose Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas because Crown of Midnight (the sequel) is thus far my favourite book of 2013.

Main characters -

Celaena Sardothien

Celaena Sardothien: I would pick Jemima West as Celaena. After seeing her play Isabelle Lightwood in City of Bones I know she can be so badass and would pull off the assassin role nicely! She's also extremely pretty and her elvin features really make me think of Celaena.

Chaol Westfall

Chaol Westfall: even though he's not a actor, model Sean O'Pry is so smoking hot I envision him for quite a lot of male MCs. Chaol Westfall is definitely one of them. He's got the slightly rugged look that would fit Chaol's Captain of the Guard image, but also underneath, a refined edge that would be Chaol's aristocratic lineage.

Dorian Havilliard

Dorian Havilliard: I'm thinking Chase Crawford because he's got that playful nature that Dorian has - I always see the kiddish side of Dorian that hasn't quite grown up yet. But Chase can also pull off the princely/regal look *nods*

Ok yup I think that would be my dream cast for Throne of Glass :D

What would be your favourite book > movie dream cast?

This week's question:

What is the last book that kept you up late into the night just to finish it?

For me it was Gayle Forman's Just One Day which I finished just 2 days ago. She is such an amazing writer and the way she layers her writing is mind-blowing. I loved the way she used Shakespeare's plays as a metaphor for identity, which was probably the book's biggest theme. Not just a love story, Just One Day was about finding one's self and what it really means to pretend - are we hiding or showing who we truly are when we take on another persona?

My review for Just One Day will be up soon!

Feature & Follow Friday #1

My first ever Feature & Follow Friday!

This week's question:

Who is your favourite villain from a book?
[May contain some spoilers for those who haven't read Leigh Bardugo's Shadow and Bone/The Gathering Dark]
Mine's definitely the Darkling from Leigh Bardugo's Grisha Trilogy. From the beginning, I hated Mal as he never noticed Alina until she got famous. But the Darkling saw her from the very beginning. And despite him only using her for power I could sense something underlying - that beneath the cool, overpowering demeanour, he really WANTED Alina. "The problem with wanting is that it makes us weak" as he said.
Handsome, dark, brooding, damaged, broken, power-hungry, and insanely sexy the Darkling is one delicious villain.

So who's your favourite villain?
