Follow Friday and Book Blogger Hop

Good Evening everyone and Happy Friday. I have been pretty much out of it all day because of a cold, so I'm getting started a little late today. Nonetheless, here are the Friday meme's:

Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Allison Can Read and Parajunkee's View where book bloggers answer questions and meet fellow book bloggers. This week's question is:

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

I kinda love this week's question. Of course, like Allison from Allison Can Read, I would love to switch with Alice from Twilight (or perhaps Renesmee...I'd love to have Jacob fawning over me) and Hermione from Harry Potter. But I's also love to switch with Mo from How To Flirt with a Naked Werewolf just to be with sexy werewolf Cooper (minus the weird biting). I would also love to switch with Jael from Misfit because she has like amazing powers and stuff, I just don't think I'd really enjoy being a succubus, nearly snatching people's souls. Finally I'd absolutely love to be Vi from Possession. The ability to control technology and people with your mind is absolutely amazing!!! There's more books and a host of movies, but I'll stop here.

Book Blogger Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Crazy For Books where bloggers visit other bloggers.

“It’s time to spread some love beyond the borders of the Book Blogger Hop! This week, we aren’t answering a question. We are spotlighting our fellow bloggers. Find your favorite(s) author interview(s), guest post(s), book review(s), or bookish article(s) that ANOTHER BOOK BLOGGER featured on their site recently and tell us why you love it/them! As an additional challenge, find your favorite one of EACH of the categories above and spotlight all 4 (interview, guest post, review, article).”

Okay, so I am not going to follow the rules. I will pick 1 person I love and leave it at that (this isn't to say I don't love other people's blogs, I just love this one so much!!!)  Therefore I'd like to pick the lovely Lan from The Write Obsession. I love like everything she writes and would probably nominate her for an awesome award if I could. I must say I am a stalker of her blog! There was no particular post that made me fall in love with her, but lets just say visit her blog and look at every post she has written and tell me if you dont wanna stalk her too!

Okay so that's it. No closing remarks (I guess this is a closing remark in itself).

Waiting on Wednesday: Partials by Dan Wells

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week's "Waiting on" pick is:

Book: Partials
By: Dan Wells
Publication Date: February 28, 2012

Description: "The human race is all but extinct after a war with Partials—engineered organic beings identical to humans—has decimated the population. Reduced to tens of thousands by RM, a weaponized virus to which only a fraction of humanity is immune, the survivors in North America have huddled together on Long Island while the Partials have mysteriously retreated. The threat of the Partials is still imminent, but worse, no baby has been born immune to RM in more than a decade. Our time is running out.

Kira, a sixteen-year-old medic in training, is on the front lines of this battle, seeing RM ravage the community while mandatory pregnancy laws threaten to launch what’s left of humanity into civil war, and she’s not content to stand by and watch. But as she makes a desperate decision to save the last of her race, she will discover that the survival of humans and Partials alike rests in her attempts to uncover the connections between them—connections that humanity has forgotten, or perhaps never even knew were there.

My Thoughts: I think this book will be amazing. I didnt read any of Dan Wells other books, but I am sure that I would like to read this one.

Teaser Tuesday: Between the Land and the Sea

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by MizB over at Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

My teaser this week is from Between the Land and the Sea (Marina's tales #1)

Description: Something extraordinary is lurking in the deep ocean waters off the coast of Aptos, California. In just a few weeks after moving to the small beach town, sixteen year old Marina has nearly drowned twice, enchanted the hottest guy in high school, and discovered a supernatural creature. If she can only manage to survive her increasingly dangerous encounters with unpredictable mermaids, she might just be able to unlock the mystery of her past to learn how to appease the mysterious forces that seem to want something from her...and maybe even find true love along the way.
Between The Land And The Sea is the first book in the series "Marina's Tales". Her story continues on in book two, The Moon And The Tide.

My Teaser:

"'Why did you call me sisthter?' I asked, slurring my words. My vision was starting to blacken at the edges. She paused for a moment, and then said, 'You were born of one like us,' she smiled, 'And so you are a sister.' The blackness descended upon me totally."

That was the last thing I was able to read yesterday (i got rushed to dinner) and I cant wait to see what happens next!!! What are your teasers?

While your here, why dont you check out my 100 Follower Giveaway. Thanks for stopping by!
