Follow Friday: Mythological Creatures and Book Associations

Posted by Unknown on 10:35 PM 21 comments


GFC is acting wonky so if you stop by and comment I'll come by and comment and follow!



Follow Friday is a blog hop hosted by Parajunkee's View.


This week's question:

In books like the Sookie Stackhouse (True Blood) series the paranormal creature in question "comes out of the closet" and makes itself known to the world. Which mythical creature do you wish would come out of the closet, for real?


Answer:



The child inside of me immediately screamed unicorns! I was quite obsessed with unicorns as a child, but adult me wants more study on the magnetic field theory of telepathy. This theory basically states that the mental waves can be picked up by the waves in the atmosphere and be carried to another allowing others to read your thoughts. It’s a very scientific approach to the paranormal.




This week’s question:



Book Associations: Which genre, authors, or particular books do you think people associate with your reading style?

Answer:



Immediate answer would have to be Twilight. Twilight has to be the most well known book within paranormal YA. The hubby is always making fun of the sparkling vampires I’m reading about. Although seriously Edward is the ONLY sparkly vampire I’ve ever read about.


Harry Potter would also be included, but it’s more middle grade than YA.


Adult paranormal would be Sookie Stackhouse series or perhaps Night Huntress series by Jeaniene Frost.

    Twilight is one of mine, too! I could rec everyone many different things, but it will always come back to Edward and his sparkles. ;)

    Happy Friday!

    If it wasn't for Anne Rice, I may have liked Twilight more, but Anne's vampires have been, for me, the standard that all other vampires have to live up to.  I have to admit though, Jeaniene Frost's Bones definitely comes a close second to those! Great choices. I love HP as well. 

    Thanks for stopping by my blog. I'm already a follower so your wonky (love that word) GFC didn't hinder me at all :-)

    You still have a great answer even if you had a hard time! The Twilight series is such a great series to be associate with (even if it does have sparkly vampires in it!)

    Haha, Love the Twilight commentary. And I agree Edward is the only sparkly vampire I've ever read about. Twilight gets so much flack in the book world, people like to be haters...but no shame in loving the series. I'm a huge fan too and proud of it. Some paranormal, a lot of romance...good times ;) Nice choice

    Hiya. Thanks for visiting my blog. I'm following you now - I love the look of your blog and your avatar is the cutest.

    I have a soft spot for unicorns myself. Have you read Diana Peterfreund's series on unicorns who kill? That might put you off.

    Telepathy would be so cool. I'd love to read others' thoughts and communicate that way. And, unicorns would be awesome too! :)

    I love the unicorn idea! I never thought of them, but I would love to see a unicorn prance through my backyard instead of a deer. (: I'm following you back, and I'm looking forward to more posts!
