4. In your blog post, answer the following question (new question each week!):

In honor of Banned Books Week, what is your favorite “banned or frequently challenged book”? Here's a link to this years and previous years.

MY ANSWER: Well my answer isn't anything current! I actually had to go through all the previous years trying to see if I had a fave banned book! And how could I forget about the Harry Potter series?! Yup, 10 years ago (OMG! I am old) it was on the banned books list!

Although another fave that was banned in 2001, was Blood and Chocolate by Annette Curtis Klause! I totally LOVED that book! It was wayyy better than the movie, but if you don't compare the movie to it, then the movie was good too!!

This week's question is: What book that hasn't been turned into a movie (yet) would you most like to see make it to the big screen, and who would you like cast as your favorite character?

MY ANSWER: Ooh tough one and yet one that tends to come to mind pretty often!! There are quite a few books I would love to see make it to the big screen or even small screen--as long as it was a movie and not a TV series!

For YA I would like to see...13 to Life by Shannon Delany. (Yeah, couldn't see that coming!) ;) Although cast wise I'm not sure. Think that Ian Somerhalder would make a good pick for Max though!! Love that man!

For adult book I would pick (among the many!) Stray by Rachel Vincent! Heck the whole series should be made into a movie or movies since the books are long! Love em!! Talked with other friends online about who we would cast for the movie with the characters and I still don't think I know! Really no actor can look like the character to me. They sometimes play them real good, but the appearance is never the same as I created in my mind.

Although Eliza Dushku might make a pretty decent Faythe! After all she did already play a Faith too! Of course it was only after I wrote Faythe that I remember her role on Buffy, but that was not why I picked her. Think she sort of looks like Faythe as I imagine her.
