Follow Friday: July 1, 2011



Follow Friday is hosted by Parajunkee and is a way for book bloggers to get to know each other better. To join in and make some friends, simply follow the directions listed by Parajunkee on her blog.

This week's featured blogger is Erika at Let's Talk About Books. Be sure to stop by, follow, and say, "Hello!"

This week's question:


Q. ACK! Your favorite book/movie character (example Hermione Granger played by the Emma chick) just walked into the room! Who is it and what would be your first reaction? You get extra points if you include visual stimulation.

A. I think I'm going to have to go back to the very first movie-turned book that had me turning into the biggest geek in town at the time, The Lord of the Rings trilogy. The character/actor? Legolas as played by Orlando Bloom.


I'm a pretty shy person, so I would probably react in much the same way as I did when I met Christina Scabia from Lacuna Coil: smile, say "hi" quietly, and stand back. Yup. Living on the edge. That's me.

  3. Oh, I'm so glad I'm not the only shy person. Yeah I talk online and on twitter but in person, um no. Well maybe some but not in front of people like this. Okay, I'll stop now.

  4. Old follower! Love your pick! Legolas was my fave from this series. I haven't read the books yet, but I really want to. I'll probably get them when I get an e-reader!

  9. Hey, at least you're honest about your reaction. :) I met a favorite voice actor once and...well gave him a bit more attention than normal people would. Ah, well, you're only 20 once in your life! Great choice in Legolas. :)

  12. Legolas' photo used to be my laptop's wallpaper the entire time I was pregnant. I stared at him so much that I was afraid my son would come out with pointy ears ;-)

  15. Can you believe I have not watched these movies?? I saw part of one of them, the first I think, and it was good. I just never had a chance to watch them! I love Orlando Bloom! He's awesome!

  18. Old follower hopping through!

    I went to school in Canterbury (where Mr Bloom is from) and nearly fell into him and his mum once. It was beyond embarrassing. My friend mocked me for so long afterwards...

  19. I'm actually watching The Fellowship of the Ring right now because of someone else's answer to the blog hop question! I haven't watched this movie in a long time so it seemed like a good time to catch up.

    I also wanted to personally invite you to the 2011 Declare Your Independence Indie Author Giveaway Carnival at my blog, What Book is That?. A different indie author will be featured every day in July and new giveaways are going live almost daily- today's giveaway is for a $25 Amazon gift card!
