Follow Friday (8)


Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Rachel at www.parajunkee.com and Alison at www.alisoncanread.com.

If you could pick one character in a book, movie, or television show to swap places with, who would it be?

Ooh, this is so difficult.  There are these little snags I wouldn't want to happen to me though I suppose that's the price of happiness for the characters :P.

You know what?  Since I just got the fantastic news about the release date and cover for Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore, I'll say Katsa or Fire.  Katsa because it'd be awesome to have her Grace - one of my dreams is to travel the world; how great would it be to be able to go anywhere without worrying about how to take care of myself?  Plus, Katsa is so strong.  Even when she thought herself a monster, she found a way to make a difference.  And... also because Po is a wonderful man to have at your side.  Fire... again because of Prince Brigan :P and because she also is strong and has such firm morals; she didn't go into anybody's head unless it was absolutely necessary... and she did something (vague, so I don't spoil it for any of you who haven't read the book) that requires a LOT of courage.

Gah!  I'd love to be any of Kristin Cashore's characters.  (Side note: if you haven't read any of her books, you're seriously missing out.)

What about you?

Hopping through. I've never seen that cover of Fire. That's incredible. Makes me want to read it even more.

I'd love to be Katsa or Fire, they're not the weak and flimsy heroines you get nowadays.
I can't wait for Bitterblue, and the cover is gorgeous!
Have an awesome weekend, and please stop by if you can :D

Every time I go to Posman's I see this book (Graceling), stare at it, but I never have gotten it. It's been on my TBR for months and months. I'm going to have to pick them up, because I've heard nothing but amazing things. :)

Sara said...

Great answer! I love the land she lives in.

Good choice! I really liked Fire (my favorite so far) and cannot wait for the new book to come out.
