Follow Friday - 25th August

Weekly meme hosted by


This weeks featured blogs: Caught in the Pages and Jenni Elyse

Question of the week: In books like the Sookie Stackhouse (True Blood) series the paranormal creature in question "comes out of the closet" and makes itself known to the world. Which mythical creature do you wish would come out of the closet, for real?

Hmmm, I have no idea! maybe vampires but they would have to be the Vampire Academy or Chicagoland Vampires type (Dhampir and Moroi, not the strigoi)..
Some form of angel would also be appealing. 
 
Top Spot is a new monthly blog meme hosted by the Skype Sisters. Every month we will get together to share our favorite read from that month and we would love for you join us! This meme will take place over the last weekend of every month, giving us all a chance to gush over the great reads we've encountered and bring an awesome ending to the current month. The Top Spot book can be anything you've read, whether it's old or new, an ARC or a finished copy. All August reads counts!
What was your favorite read this month? What was your Top Spot?
My top 3 August picks are:: 

Enclave  Watched  Deadly Descent

    Chicagoland Vampire! Awesome! I haven't read your top 3. I will have to check into them. My top read is Ghost on Black Mountain. It blew me away.

    Oh my gosh, being able to hang out with Vampire Academy vamps would be so cool! I just finished reading the first book the other day and I loved it -- can't wait to get my hands on the next books in the series! :)

    Angels would make awesome best friends, too, I think!

    Thanks so much for stopping by, Sharon! I'm definitely an old follower who adores your blog! :)

    Hope you have an awesome weekend!

    I haven't read Vampire Academy, but I'll assume those vampires aren't homicidal maniacs. :D

    I wouldn't mind vampires be real either, as long as they were the Moroi kind, for sure! Thanks so much for joining us with Top Spot! I had a hard time picking just one too, and picked three! I haven't read any of those books but I've seen Enclave all over but need to check it out more - the other books look intriguing, especially Watched! Thanks for sharing :)

    I would love if Angels were real, (the Nalini kind though, not the Angelfall kind, which demolish humans...) just sayin'
    Thanks for hopping over today

    Hopping through. I'd love to have real Moroi or Dhampirs. Definitely skip the Strigoi.

    I think I'd be too worried my blood would get drained if there were real vampires. :-P

    Following back now! Sorry I'm so slow. Lol.

    I almost picked vampires too, just because they're awesome. But I definitely don't want the kind that only want to kill me. :(
