Feature and Follow Friday (3)



The Feature & Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee of Parajunkee's View and Alison of Alison Can Read. (Parajunkee & Alison Can Read)  Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it'll allow us to show off more new blogs!

How does this work? First you leave your name here on this post, (using the linky tools -- keep scrolling!) then you create a post on your own blog that links back to this post (easiest way is to just grab the code under the #FF picture and put it in your post) and then you visit as many blogs as you can and tell them "hi" in their comments (on the post that has the #FF image). You follow them, they follow you. Win. Win. Just make sure to follow back if someone follows you!

This Week's Question: Birthday Wishes -- Blow out the candles and imagine what character could pop out of your cake...who is it and what book are they from?

I haven't looked at anyone else's answer, but I'm going to assume I'm answering in the wrong way.  Like it's supposed to be a character you find sexy while jumping out of a cake. So I want to state this now...this is not a character I find dreamy or sexy or smoldering. (I'm boring and married, okay. Plus my son's supposed to help me with the blog and I don't need to pay for years of therapy because he can't get an image of mom getting the hot pants for some guy not his father out of his brain. Even then, I mean, I have 3 kids, so clearly I've only had sex 3 times, okay son? )

The character I want jumping out of my birthday cake is Owen Meany from John Irving's A Prayer for Owen Meany

Why? I just reread this book and I need to know what his voice sounds like. I sort of hear it in my head and I know it's all wrong.

    1. I'm following you, too. Thanks. My son doesn't willingly help me. He likes to watch me struggle with things for a while. I ask him for help, then he tells me I need to learn how to do it myself. That if I don't learn, I'll always be dependent on other people for help. (He's using my own words against me) Then eventually when I get to the point where I'm going to break something he rolls his eyes and tells me what to do. If I still can't manage it, he sighs and rolls his eyes and taps keys and it's done. (He can type about 80+ words a minute so I can't even see what he's doing.)

  4. Haha aw! I love that you're getting your son to help on the blog and I definitely know the feeling of just wanting to know how a character is. Great answer!

  5. Thanks for stopping by blog and leaving a comment. The last Southern Vampire Mystery I read was Definitely Dead, but I do own all the books that are out. I'm not for sure who I want Sookie to end up with. I'm not for sure if she'll end up with Eric or Sam. Hopefully, Charlaine will end the series with a happy ending.

    1. Eww, you've done it three times, too. My youngest- the girl, is now 4 years old. Someone we know had a baby recently. My youngest son said I'm starting to make the "baby face" again- you know that face you make when you see a cute baby and start thinking you want another one. My son started sticking close by me- wouldn't leave my side. Whenever my husband would even try to hug me, my son would get in between us and say, "I'm birth control."

  14. I haven't read something by John Irving for a while now, and I haven't read this either, but I like his writing and this seems like a good choice. :)
