Friday Hops...Follow Friday...TGIF!

It's time to do the Friday Hops! Hopefully new friends will be made along the way. First up: Follow Friday hosted over at Parajunkee and Alison Can Read. The idea is to visit new blogs and to follow (both directions!) In addition there are featured blogs every week. The featured blogs this week are: In Which Ems Reviews Books and Reading in the Corner. Congratulations. I am following! Are you?

Now for the question of the week:

Q: If you could have dinner with your favorite book character, who would you eat with and what would you serve?

Hmm...So many characters, so little time to dine. I'd choose... Captain Corelli from Corelli's Mandolin because I want to learn to speak Italian and I want an excuse to make Eggplant Parmesan. Silly reasons, but true!

Question: Spooktacular Reads: Which books do you consider festive Halloween reads? Which stories have chilled you to the bone?

I am not much of a horror genre reader, nor am I a horror movie goer, for that matter. But when I do read a book that has some sort of "spook" in it, I get very scared. Case in point: The Prince of Mist by Carlos Ruiz Zafon, the ghost in the closet/mist/garden had me terrified.
