Thank You Everyone who is stopping by for the Blog Hop and thank you to crazy-for-books for hosting the hop!

Book Blogger Hop

This week's Questions is...
 
"Who's your all-time favorite book villain?"

That's an easy question. I am going to have to go with Lord Voldemort - everybody loves to hate "he-who-must-not-be-named". Tom Marvolo Riddle is sure one crazy ass villain - and he scares EVERYONE. Children, housewives - even big burly men quake in their boots when they think about this guy. Dude's a creeper end of story. Oh, but let's talk about the Dementors for a second. They deserve a shout out as well. In fact, Harry Potter is just full of terrifically terrifying bad guys. Bellatrix is super psychotic as well. I definitely love to hate her. And Man, do I ever hate her.  Speaking of dear old Bellatrix, I always think of her when I hear that Heart song, Bebe Lestrange.. When I saw the last Harry Potter movie and she was being super evil, it kept running through my head :)

I also participate in Follow Friday, so those of you who popped by from that, thank you - and thank you parajunkee for hosting it!   


This Week's Follow Friday Question is..


What embarrassing thing have you done on cold medicine? 

Honestly,the only cold medicine I ever take is the kind that knocks you out. I mean, sometimes I take a cough decongestant or something, but that really doesn't make you loopy. The only time I can remember getting looping (from something medical.. lol) is when I got a filling and had some of the laughing gas. That was some crazy stuff. But I don't think I did anything strange, except tell my mother that I understood why people smoked weed. So, I guess that counts as my answer :)

I'm hopping by. I agree that Lord Voldemort is a fabulous villain. I think Delores Umbridge actually gets my ire up more than him.

Good answers! I thought of Snape too! The teacher that our heroes loathe! You'll never guess who I DID decide as my favourite villain.

Unknown said...

Hi! Just stopping by on the hop. I chose Voldemort too! Such a great character-also scary and hate-worthy.
Have a great weekend :)

Alexis @ Reflections of a Bookaholic said...

Brittany @ Nice Girls Read Books said...

AHHH VOLDY! Now, that's an evil dude! :P Great pick!

Mandy said...

Ooh, great pick! I used Snape as mine. But I completely agree with you about Voldemort, and well, basically the fact that Harry Potter is definitely full of kick-ass villains.

Unknown said...

Just hopping by from the blog hop. Ooh, I loved Voldemort. He was definitely a great villain, good choice.

Julie Anne Lindsey said...

Hi, hon - already a follower, but sharing the Friday love anyway. Nice choice with HP villains . . . I didn't completely fall for Bellatrix until the movies, but she's great.

Ah, he-who-must-not-be-named is an excellent choice of villains. Anyone who's willing to kill babies is top-notch villain material.

Happy hopping and reading!

The Flashlight Reader said...

At first, I thought that said "Beatrice" as in Beatrice Potter. I was thinking to myself, "huh?" Oops. We read The Tale of Peter Rabbit last night. Guess it's still on my mind.

He's mine to, a really scary guy.

Two Bibliomaniacs said...

Voldmort is a great bad guy, but I had to pick Umbridge from the HP series. That woman had a way of getting under my skin and boiling my blood. I'm getting all worked up just thinking about her.

Have a great week!

Christy @ TheReaderBee said...

"He who shall not be named" is a great pick! I picked Snape, but Voldemort is pure evil!

Here's mine-

Voldemort seems like a popular answer! With good reason. great shout out to the Dementors too! Those sure creeped me out as welll, I mean I guess the ability to soul suck will do that to you. lol One of the other bloggers mentioned Umbridge from the series as well, and even though that's not someone I would normally think of right off the bat - she was pretty scary!

I'm a new follower, great blog! Happy friday!

Jackie said...

Oooh! Dementors! How could I forget about those baddies? They definitely do deserve a shout out.

Lucia (iLive, iLaugh, iLove Books) said...

My favorite villain is Snape. I remember when the books first came out, everyone hated him so, but I thought he was great since he was the only one who ever told Potter that he wasn't above the rules!

This weekend I'm at a Children's Literature Conference with a terrible cold unfortunately, so hopefully I won't embarrass myself once I'm all dosed up with decongestants! Cross your fingers for me!

Anonymous said...

Nice pick! :) I picked Voldemort too!

New follower :)

Heather said...

Hah! Voldemort certainly sprang to mind when I was picking... but I was suspicious that it had to do with me just watching the movie, so I chose someone else, lol!
Check my pick out here
