Friday’s Fab Five is a weekly event hosted by Froggy at Froggarita’s Bookcase. She asks five questions, which could or could not be book related, so that bloggers and their readers can get to know each other better. Participating can be as simple as answering the questions in the comments for this post. Or, it can be as intense as answering the questions by commenting on her blog, commenting on my blog, and posting about the event on your own blog. The only rule is that you can’t use the same answer twice. ;)

Here are this week’s questions:

1. Do you remove the cover from your hardbacks when you read?
2. What new series have you fallen in love with this year?
3. What story did you love reading as a kid?
4. If you were a character in a book, who would you be?
5. What book have you heard raves/good reviews about but didn’t care for it yourself?

Here are my answers:

1. I always remove the cover when I read because I want to keep them nice.
2. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to read very much this year.  However, I really enjoyed Elantris by Brandon Sanderson so I’m sure I’ll love the Mistborn Trilogy when I get around to it.  And, even though reading The Fellowship of the Ring is frustrating me because I have too much inaccurate knowledge from the movie, I’m enjoying the story a lot.
3. I didn’t read as a kid, but I loved to have my dad read My Father’s Dragon to me.
4. I really want to say Bella because then I’d be with Edward and I’d be a vampire.  But, I think that’s too predictable, and I’d feel bad about being married to someone other than Corey. ;) I think I’d choose to be Hermione or Ginny from the Harry Potter series.  Honestly, as long as I was a witch and friends with Harry, Ron, and Hermione, I’d be fine with anyone in that series.
5. The Time Traveler’s Wife–I loved the idea and concept of the story, but I hated the language, gratuitous sex, and most importantly, the ending!
