In My Mailbox {3}

In My Mailbox...is a meme hosted by Kristi over at The Story Siren, and is a way for bloggers to share all the bookish (books they've won, been given, given for review, checked out from the library)  goodness that recently came into their possession.

"Here's the mail, it never fails. 

                       It makes me want to wag my tail. 

    When it comes I want to wail - Maillllllll!"

 (Mail Song from Blue's Clues)

Books to Television: Which books would you love to see made in to a TV series? or movie?

This is the perfect question for a TV and movie junkie like myself! There are so MANY books I'd love to see made into a TV series or movie. Lauren Myracle's Shine and Patricia McCormick's Cut would both make powerful movies.  I'd love to see the fun, fantastical worlds of Brandon Mull's Fablehaven Series, and Jonathan Auxier's Peter Nimble be brought to life on the big screen. Oh, and G.P Ching's The Soulkeepers series would make for a visually stunning movie. I think Myracle's Internet Girls series, her Winnie series, and her Love Ya Bunches series could easily be adapted for TV. 

What books would YOU love to see made into TV shows or movies?

BOOK BLOGGER HOP {3} and FEATURE AND FOLLOW FRIDAY {3}

Book Blogger Hop...is an awesome weekly meme hosted by Crazy for Books that gives book bloggers the chance to discover, support, and connect with fellow book bloggers and book lovers.

Many of us primarily read one genre of books, with others sprinkled in. If authors stopped writing that genre, what genre would you start reading? Or would you give up reading completely if you couldn’t read that genre anymore?

I would NEVER give up reading completely! The mere thought is both terrifying and laughable. I read mostly Fantasy and Paranormal YA/MG books. If authors stopped writing in these genres, I'd probably read more contemporary YA fiction and more of the sci-fi genre. I read quite a bit of contemporary YA fiction now, but I could always read more. And I haven't delved too deep into the sci-fi genre, but it does fascinate me. Anyone have any sci-fi recs?

Feature and Follow Friday... is a blog hop, hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read, that allows book bloggers to discover and connect with other book bloggers.

This week's featured blogs are:

Have you ever wanted a villain to win at the end of a story? If so, which one?

Oh, this is a great question! I've always been fascinated by villains. Blame it on ole' Billy Shakespeare, with his brilliantly crafted villains, such as Richard III or Iago. And of course, the villains of my childhood (Voldemort, the White Witch, Captain Hook) were perfectly loathsome and villainous. But, I'm not sure if I ever wanted a villain to win. I think, if anything, I've wanted certain villains to be redeemed or saved...but I don't think I've ever wanted their evil plans and schemes to prevail in the end. I like a truly evil villain, but I really love a villain that pulls on my sympathies as well. 

Although, if I wanted to be totally honest there's a small *coughbigcough* part of me that really just wanted the Volturi to take out Bella and the Cullens, including that creepy baby, in Breaking Dawn...but then again, I would want the wolfpack to then take out the Volturi and other vamps...but after Bella, the Sparkle Crew, and Creepy Baby were offed...Twilight fans, please don't throw things at me now *ducks just in case*
