HOSTED BY JEN AT CRAZY FOR BOOKS
“What are you most looking forward to this fall/autumn season – A particular book release? Halloween? The leaves changing color? Cooler temperatures? A vacation? (If your next season is other than fall/autumn, tell us about it and what you are most looking forward to in your part of the world!)”
Cooler weather most definitely. I'm beyond tired of having 105 degree weather everyday. So why do I continue to live in Texas? Because it's home. :) I'm not to big on Halloween I enjoy taking my nieces out trick or treating, but that's usually about it. I'll try and throw together some costume just because it's fun to play dress up. My friend is trying to get me to come up with a costume and go to parties with her, and I'm like if you want to throw a costume together then I'll go.  What she picked out for me. A zombie. No lie. I actually think that would be  interesting. As for what books I'm going to go with The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer and Shattered Souls.

If you could change the ending of any book (or series), which book would you choose? Why and to what?

This is going to be a spoiler fest so try to write the title of the book as a dominant feature - and warn people about spoilers.

 I haven't read an enormous amount of books that I think need to be changed or would have liked to be changed. Then again I haven't finished a lot of the series I have started like Shiver, THG, Evernight, and so on you get the picture. The main ones I have finished I was content with the endings. I mean sure Twilight could have ended  differently. I would have actually preferred her to go with Jacob, but whatever.
VAMPIRE ACADEMY SPOILERY-
Now I loved the way these books ended I wanted Rose to be happy with Dimitri, and be Lissa's gaurdian so I got my way on that, however I really did feel bad for Adrian I loved him and his snarky comments and attitude, and I wanted the best for him. I would have liked to known that he was going to find someone. Not be some bitter, sad Adrian. I guess that's what Bloodlines is for huh? By the way loved it finished it today.

HARRY POTTER
You know I loved this series just as much as anyone, but to make them just grow up and have kids after being with them for what 7 years. I was a little disappointed. I suck at rational reasons as to why I didn't like the endings, but oh well.

  2. Hopping through. I'm so excited about the Bloodlines series. I loved the first one and I'm glad Adrian might have the chance to be happy.

  3. Agreed. The ending to the Harry Potter series was somewhat lacking. It could have benefited from a few extra chapters, or books!

  12. Aww! I'm reading the Vampire Academy series right now (on book 5) and I actually adore Adrian! I may want Rose to end up with Dimitri, but I don't want Adrian to be sad. :( Hopefully he gets his happily ever after in Bloodlines! :)

  21. New follower hopping through! Great blog!!

    I totally agree about Harry Potter 7. I though the epilogue was just so corny. I mean, they all deserved their happy ending... but still. Though it did make for some hilarity in the movie, hahaha!

    VA's ending didn't bother me so much. I actually really liked it. But that's because I knew that there was going to be more Adrian in Bloodlines, and that he was getting promoted to main character status, so that made me happy :D
