Sept. 16: 5 Book Characters Who You Liked Better In The TV/Film Than In The Book?

Just a little note: This is a really hard question in general, cause the books are always better, but I think the actors did a wonderful job bringing these characters to life.

Jonas - The Giver
Thomas - The Maze Runner Saga
Professor Snape - Harry Potter
Man (father) - The Road
Louis de Pointe du Lac - Interview With A Vampire


Sept. 23: 5 Top Music Artists You're Attracted To

EYM - Character Spirit Character(s)

Express Yourself is a weekly meme. It's goal is to help our fellow bloggers get to know one another better, to help motivate one another, laugh (or cry) together, in other words – stalk.


WE ARE BAAAAACK!!

Sorry, we needed a break this summer. The hot summer months brought more with it than normal this year.

Jackie and I each had a son who graduated high school, which means we each had parties to prep for. And not did we have our own sons graduating, but we also had several other family and friends kids graduating. Plus vacations, lake parties, etc.

With that being said, we are super happy to be back and get at it!


Sept. 5-9: What/Who is your spirit cartoon character(s)?

Mabel - Gravity Falls
Buttercup - Powerpuff Girls
Peppermint Patty - Peanuts



Next week:
IF you had to lose one of your senses, which one would it be and why?


Hope everyone had a relaxing Labor Day!!

Who Do You Associate With?

Hey Blogging Friends! Express Yourself is a weekly meme. It's goal is to help our fellow bloggers get to know one another better, to help motivate one another, laugh (or cry) together, in other words – stalk.

Aug. 17-21: Do you have a book or TV character you can relate to?

Sure, who doesn't? I have tons.

Kate Austen from Lost - a little bit of a bad girl but for all the right reasons. Though everything on the island was purgatory, she was a fighter.

Melanie Stryder in The Host by Stephenie Meyer - No matter how hard Wanderer tried, Melanie would not go quietly.

Sophronia Temminnick in the Finishing School series by Gail Carriger - Sophronia is a 14 yr old bad@ss who always stays on the side of good even though it might turn out all wrong but end up so right.

Even though I admire Michonne and would like to think I would end up toting a katana and being the baddest bad@ss at bad@ssery... I'm more modest to admit that I'm actual more like Carol Peletier. I associate with her more and the decisions she has made. Sure they are hard but I think if it came down to it, I would burn those bodies, pull that trigger, and bake those cookies. I have kids so I know that if I was to lose them I would be hardened enough to do what I had to do to get the job done but be sociopath enough to play the chick next door keep everyone guessing.


Who do you associate with in books and TV?

Express Yourself - Battle of the Five Armies

Express Yourself  is a weekly meme hosted by myself and Jackie. It's goal is to help our fellow bloggers get to know one another better by being nosey of course.

Each week we will find something different to post about. It will correlate with writing, blogging, and life in general. Then, we hope, you’ll follow suit and post what it is that motivates you.


This weeks question:

Dec. 15-19: In celebration of The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies - highlight ONE of your favorite characters from The Hobbit/LOTR film franchise.

Ok, lets be honest, can anyone REALLY pick out just ONE character? Ok, ok, so I know this was one of our questions so I should probably follow the rules... rules are meant to be broken...

Well not actually broken, more like tweaked!

My favorite character is... are... the dwarves. WHAT? I can't just pick one either. Each gruff man brings his own formula for a great character with passion and fight. Some are soulful, some are comedians, some are stubborn to a fault, and all are loyal.

But if we were to look back at LOTR, Legolas is definitely my favorite! And a close second, Aragorn. But by far the arrow wielding elf can cupid my ass any day!

Have a great day fellow bloggers! Who will be making it to the theater this week?

Express Yourself - Five Fictional Characters in My Life

Express Yourself  is a weekly meme hosted by myself and Jackie. It's goal is to help our fellow bloggers get to know one another better by being nosey of course.

 Each week we will find something different to post about. It will correlate with writing, blogging, and life in general. Then, we hope, you’ll follow suit and post what it is that motivates you.

 This weeks question...

 

Nov. 17-21: Name FIVE fictional characters you would want to have in your life.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Aphrodite LaFont - House of Night (Novel Series)

 

Zuzanna - Daughter of Smoke and Bones (Novel Series)

Two of them are purely at my disposal to gawk at all day. Sure they would be awesome to have as friends if I'm in need to pillage a village or fend myself from zombies and maybe their conversations would entertain me all day long but they are just to pretty to not to have in my circle of fictional friends.

Express Yourself Meme is a way for our community to learn a little more about each other.

Jackie and myself wanted to know...

Name one favorite character who you have written or read about.

 

Cicada - He is a character for my Norse Mythology novel. Cicada is true to his name; he lives in the trees and is one with nature. He has a unique sound he makes to summon more of his kind and the magestic animals around him. He's of Asian decent, dark, fauxhawk hair and mild natured but fierce with his katana and fighting techique.

 

My favorite character I've read about is Sophronia from the Finishing School series by Gail Carriger.

 

What do you have on your Top Ten Bookish Bucket List?

How is a favorite character of yours?
