Follow Friday (16th September)

Weekly meme hosted by
 


This weeks featured blogs: Librarian Mouse and Alaskan Book Cafe

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:  It's that pesky magic book fairy again! She has another wish: What imaginary book world would you like to make a reality?

Most of the worlds I read about aren't exactly the most pleasant, the mythical beings that reside in each would petrify me! If I had to choose though, after recently reading Julie Kagawa's Iron Fey series, it would be the world of Nevernever. The mythical creatures and locations sound both fascinating as well as terrifying.

    I thought about Nevernever when I answered this question, but I'm not sure about all the Iron and BS that goes along with it lol.

    Happy Follow Friday! LOVE the owls on your blog! (my classroom is decorated in owls)

    I haven't read the Iron Fey series, it's on my To Read List (as so many other books/series!) great to know it's a world worth making real! That's always good to hear about a book that already sounds amazing!

    Thanks for hopping by!And for spreading the Read-a-Thon love on the sidebar! Woot woot! :D

    I agree with you one-hundred percent! Julie Kagawa's Iron Fey series is one of my favouries, the the world is one of the most compelling I've ever read about! Part of it is Julie's supreme writing skills -- the other part is her incredible imagination!

    Thanks so much for stopping by, Sharon! I'm an old follower, of course! :)

    Hope you have an awesome weekend!

    I'm beginning to feel like one of the last people on the planet who hasn't read the Iron Fey series! :) The worldbuilding must be pretty good, though - a lot of people are wanting to visit Nevernever...perhaps I'll have to check it out.

    Happy FF!

    That's so true. I'd probably freak out if most of the stuff I read were real!
