In the spirit of the Twitter Friday Follow, the Book Blogger Hop is a place just for book bloggers and readers to connect and share our love of the written word! This weekly BOOK PARTY is an awesome opportunity for book bloggers to connect with other book lovers, make new friends, support each other, and generally just share our love of books! It will also give blog readers a chance to find other book blogs to read!
This week's question:
What are you most looking forward to this fall/autumn season – A particular book release? Halloween? The leaves changing color? Cooler temperatures? A vacation? (If your next season is other than fall/autumn, tell us about it and what you are most looking forward to in your part of the world!)
Hmmm... I think the things I am most looking forward to would be me turning 18 (yay!) in October, and the start of the holiday season, especially Halloween. Over the years, Halloween has become my all-time favorite holiday. I just love the darkness and the macabre sense of it, and even the "ghostly romance" side of it, if there is such a thing.
I absolutely love the holiday season because I get to unpack my party-planning self! I don't know... to me, there's something so exciting about planning Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner, and I always look forward to trying something new every year.
Thoughts?
Q: If you could change the ending of any book (or series), which book would you choose? Why and to what?
Oh, this is a toughy. Well, I think my #1 revised ending would be Twilight. (SPOILERS AHEAD) I absolutely abhorred the ending Stephenie Meyer wrote. I mean it really ticked me off. The whole Bella getting pregnant thing was just too weird and unbelievable. It really took away from Edward & Bella's story.
I just remembered another one. Anna Godbersen's Splendor, part of The Luxe series. (ONCE AGAIN, SPOILERS AHEAD) I really, really wish Diana had ended up with Henry, and not run away from him to Europe. She could at least have taken him with her, and they make a new name for themselves in a different country. I just thought her leaving Henry wasn't true to Diana's strong character.

I love Halloween too- I am really looking forward to fall this year.
Have a great weekend! I am a new follower.
I haven't even read the books and I possess the opinion that Bella's pregnancy is complete overkill.
PS: I'm a new follower! Please don't be frightened to frivolously check out
my Follow Me Friday post. Thanks!
I never got around to finishing the Twilight series...but I don't feel so bad now knowing that the ending wasn't all that great! And I keep meaning to read the Luxe series :P I always see it at the library!
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays too. I hope you're enjoying I, Elizabeth. I loved it!
Changing the Twilight Saga is a popular answer! Though I completely agree. Breaking Dawn kinda ruined it for me.
I'm looking forward to Pumpkin Spice lattes this Fall! Back at Starbucks on Sept. 6th!
Woohoo!

Breaking Dawn seems to be a popular pick.

Yeah I pretty much hated the whole of BD. It should be rewritten from scratch IMO
