Hops, Follows, and Tag Alongs, Oh My!

The 18 & Over Book Blogger Follow is a weekly feature that begins on Fridays and runs through the weekend, hosted by Crystal from Reading Between the Wines and Kelly at Secrets of a Book Lover.

Q. What kind of book covers are you drawn to? And what kind of covers turn you off of a book?

A. I like a bit of fetish and fantasy to my book covers (leather and latex, whips and chains, or a tightly fitted corset) with an air of mystery (shadows, glimpses of bare flesh, or an obstructed view). As for what turns me off, cheesy beefcake covers that consist of nothing more than muscled chests and scruffy chins thrust boldly in the reader's face do nothing for me . . . boring!

Q. What is your favorite spooky book (i.e. mystery/suspense, thriller, ghost story, etc.)?

A. You mean I have to choose just one? That's pretty much impossible, so I'll go with the first 3 that come to mind - Clive Barker's Damnation Game (an all-time fave), Jay Anson's The Amityville Horror (another classic), and Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (such a great story).

Q. If you could have characters from a book meet and form an epic storyline with characters from a TV series, which characters would you choose and why?

A. There was an early 90s vampire show in Canada called Forever Knight, starring Geraint Wyn Davies as Nicholas Knight, a 13th vampire who works as a Toronto police detective. It was probably the first 'good' vampire portrayal I ever came across, and still remains my favourite. I'd love to see Nick appear in Tanya Huff's equally (and proudly) Canadian Blood Book series. 

As always, I urge you to hop around to some new blogs, tag along with some new friends, and find some great new reviews to follow. I always find something new to delight me!
