If you could be a character from any book, who would you be?
I've definitely said it before, but if I could be anyone it would be Puck Connolly from The Scorpio Races. She's strong and determined and passionate. She knows what she wants and she goes after it. When she gets it she is satisfied. Lots of bad things happen in her life, but she is probably the happiest character that I've ever read and it is because she makes happiness a priority.
Comfort Reads: Which books do you go to for comfort and familiarity? Is there a type of book you seek out when you're needing that extra bit of comfort in your life?
Absolutely. I read Megan Meade's Guide to the McGowan Boys whenever I'm feeling really sad. It's my ultimate guilty pleasure. I don't know why I always pick it.

UM Megan Meade's Guide to the McGowan Boys LOOKS HILARIOUS. Must. Read. Immediately!
ReplyDeleteI love both those books! and they both have guys named Finn in them! it's been a while since I read Megan, but it's about time for a reread. ~dixie
ReplyDeletePuck is awesome! And oh man.....I completely got about Megan - what a hilarious book :-) Thanks for that. I blogged today about summer reads (lol I only picked 5 but I swear I could pick 3000000).
ReplyDeleteI haven't those books but I've been wanting to read the Scorpio races (x

I would so want to be Puck, too! Love her. So much. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know this character.
ReplyDeleteMy first thoughts were.....I don’t think I would want to be any character in a book. :)
But then I thought of two books I loved and listed those characters. :)
Stop by for my full answer. :)

I haven't read the Kate Brian book, but I do want to! It looks pretty interesting.
ReplyDeleteOne of the best things about these hops are hearing about books that I've never read..more to add to the tbr pile ;)
ReplyDeleteI loved The Scorpio Races and Puck is an awesome character - I loved her strength and her willingness to do anything for her family.
ReplyDeletePuck is a great character! Have not read the Kate Brian either, but I'll check it out!
ReplyDeleteI've seen Megan Meade on your blog before (I think on the recent TTT it was there? If I remember right? memory fails. sigh.) but have never heard of it - i'm thinking I need to check it out now though! It sounds hilarious and awesome. Also, PUCK CONNOLLY <3. One of the best female characters in literature. ever.
ReplyDeleteI am completely unsurprised that you would want to be Puck Connolly. :) I couldn't think of just one character so I passed on this weeks question. I haven't read Megan Meade but it sounds cute! And cute is always good for a comfort read!
ReplyDeleteI feel like I have heard about Megan Meade's Guide to the McGowan Boys but it doesn't sound familiar. The plot doesn't anyway, but the title stirs up something...
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! I haven't read that book in years. It was a cute one. :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't read either of these books, but I need to! Oh, and BTW, I am totally IN LOVE with Second Helpings. I am now officially a Jessica Darling/Megan McCafferty fangirl. ;)
ReplyDeleteOhh, this is an awesome post. I LOVED The Scorpio Races. <3 one of my favorite books. It is just perfect. And Puck is so awesome :D
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting on my WoW. <3
