Book Blogger Hop #27, Follow Friday #2

Book Blogger Hop is hosted by Jennifer at Crazy-for-Books. It is a great way of discovering new blogs and meeting fellow book bloggers, talking about books and authors, and sharing our love for literature.

 

This week’s question is: “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!)”

MY ANSWER:

Definitely cooler temperatures. I am not a summer person and this August was extremely hot, so I am really looking forward to lower temperatures. And autumn colours.

Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read.

 

Today’s question is: “If you could change the ending of any book (or series), which book would you choose? And, why?”

MY ANSWER:

The first one that comes to my mind is Caroline trilogy by Sandra Paretti. I cannot remember any book ending in a bigger disappointment as this one. The series is historical fiction mixing a love story and adventure. If you have not read it, skip the spoilers (and do read it if you come across it, it is a wonderful read, despite the ending).

SPOILERS:

The ending is devastating and tragic - just as everything seems to end up well, all it takes is a minute of carelessness and a lot of bad luck, let me jut say, I cried. A lot.

If I could change it, I would like the main heroine to go get her horse before the storm and not be hit by  lightning, and she would live happily ever after with her baby, and her husband, because they would deserve it after all the suffering they had been through.
