This weeks question:  What book that hasn't been turned into a movie (yet) would you most like to see make it to the big screen, and who would you like cast as your favorite character? 
 
Hmm, that's a touch question.. There are so many amazing books out there that would make INCREDIBLE movies!!  I'd love to see Andy McDermott's Nina & Eddie series made into movies - they are so much fun and full of history and action.

I'd love to see Skye O'Malley by Bertrice Small made into a movie!! It is a historical romance and might be a bit difficult because of some of the content - but she is such an incredible character and the story is so amazing.  All of Bertrice's books are amazing - any of them would make great movies.

Another book I'd love to see as a movie would be the The Alchemyst (the Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel) by Michael Scott.  Such an awesome series - it's a YA paranormal, the most recent book the Warlock came out just recently!

Who would I cast... That's tough because there are some many amazing actors out there and so many coming into the industry.  Ideally I'd cast Lucy Lawless as Skye O'Malley (older Skye) - for Nina I'd probably pick Rachel Weisz (she did such an amazing job in the Mummy as an archeologist!) and Chris Hemsworth as Eddie.

This weeks question:  In honor of Banned Books Week, what is your favorite “banned or frequently challenged book”?
 
There are so many amazing books on the banned or frequently challenged list that I loved!  Example:  Water for Elephants, Anne Frank, Brave New World, and Catcher in the Rye.  We read quite a few books that were questionable in our high school English class (about 12 years ago) that now are on banned book lists.

  1. I remember the book "Go Ask Alice" being challenged often by the school librarian, thus making it a highly sought after book by us kids. That book alone scared me into never getting involved with drugs, so it's benefit far outweighed the concern surrounding it!

Blog Tour: Romancing the Countess by Ashley March

About the book: Sebastian Madinger, the Earl of Wriothesly, thought he'd married the perfect woman-until a fatal accident revealed her betrayal with his best friend. After their deaths, Sebastian is determined to avoid a scandal for the sake of his son. But his best friend's widow is just as determined to cast her mourning veil aside by hosting a party that will surely destroy both their reputations and expose all of his carefully kept secrets... Leah George has carried the painful knowledge of her husband's affair for almost a year. All she wants now is to enjoy her independence and make a new life for herself-even if that means being ostracized by the Society whose rules she was raised to obey. Now that the rumors are flying, there's only one thing left for Sebastian to do: silence the scandal by enticing the improper widow into becoming a proper wife. But when it comes to matters of the heart, neither Sebastian nor Leah is prepared for the pa...
