Question of the Week: What book would you love to see made into a movie or television show and do you have actors/actresses in mind to play the main characters?
With rare exceptions, I usually loathe books-turned-movies, so I wouldn't wish that curse upon any of my favourites. The best stories simply have too much going on to easily fit into a 90 min popcorn flick - characters and scenes, inevitably, have to be left out, and key themes are altogether lost in the translation.
Parajunkee also hosts a Social Hop for Facebook and Twitter, which I've taken part in the past two weeks. So, if you're one of those people who aren't on Blogger, or who just don't like Google Friend Connect, it's a great way to keep in touch and follow one another.
TGIF is another blog hop designed to provide much-appreciated exposure to the bloggers participating, and to expand their following. Hosted by GReads, it's an interesting way to recap the week, pose a question, and find some exposure with a different audience.

Question of the Week: What has been your favourite moment (scene) in a book that you've read so far in 2012? Please be kind & not include spoilers.
No spoilers here, but there was a scene towards the end of Tad Williams' Shadowmarch where Barrick, once and for all, sloughs off his whiny angst and stands up to his destiny. It's a critical turning point in the series, and the moment in which the character I loathed to find upon the next page became a hero I looked forward to finding again.
