Follow Friday&The Book Blog Hop (18)

TGIF!  A big hello to anybody stopping by my blog for the first time today via Follow Friday (hosted by the awesome Parajunkee) or the Book Blogger Hop (hosted weekly by Jennifer over at Crazy-For-Books).  Leave your link when you comment, and I'll be sure to hop on over to your blog later.

This weeks featured blogger over at FF is

Ashley of Bookaholic Does Blogging

The question is:

Just like Ashley said (love it) "Ashley the girl..." who are You the Boy/Girl, instead of You the Blogger?

My answer: "Kat the girl" is a high school junior who's unhealthily obsessed with books, as well as ancient history and trying to get those perfect grades and test scores for college!  I'm pretty OCD, and that kind of rules over a lot of my life, lol.  I'm constantly busy, but in my spare time I really love to write (mostly fantasy and historical fic), watch nerdy movies and musicals, and ride my beautiful horse, Magic.

The Blog Hop question is:
"If I gave you £50 (or $80) and sent you into a bookshop right now, what would be in your basket when you finally staggered to the till?"

My answer:

I love this question, because I get to have a little daydream about book-shopping (and having actual money!).

As of this moment, I'd have to fill my book-bag (you know you've got one, too!) with these books:

--Revolution by Jennifer Donelly (no, I still haven't read it)

-- The Iron Thorn by Caitlin Kittredge (cool Victorian steampunk!)

-- Awakened by PC + Kristin Cast (38 in House of Night series) 

-- Sapphique by Catherine Fisher 

-- Dark Goddess by Sarwat Chadda

... and I'd probably buy the first book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series--everybody's constantly raving about it has made me super-curious!

I wish you all happy hopping and an awesome weekend!
