Also, leave a link to your post in the comments on my post so we can all see each other's answers!When: Here are the questions for the next ten Thursdays.Want to participate? See how here.
If you could be any witch from any book, movie, or television series, who would you be and why?This was a hard choice for me. At first glance, of course I would pick Winifred Sanderson, but that would be too obvious. At second glance, I would pick Glinda because of her pretty dresses and flying bubbles, but that would be too obvious as well. So, I finally settled with the voluptuously evil Ursula. The sultry sea witch can take what she pleases from willing souls, and uses her manipulative persuasion to get it. Although, yes, I wouldn't want to be evil, it would still be fun to get to be anything you want to be. Also - I love her curves and how proud she is of them! Shake it, girl.

Top Ten Books I'd Love To See As Movies/Tv Shows
I love this week’s Top Ten. Hopefully all of our posts will give a nudge to Hollywood.
Number #10
Title: Article 5 (#1)
Author: Kristen Simmons
Genre: YA Dystopian
Number of Pages: 362
Release Date: January 1st, 2012 by Tor Teen
This story would make a gritty, realistically violent movie or television series. The world is vast and over controlled by the new America that replaces the Bill of Rights with the Moral Statutes. I’d love to watch the romance between Ember and Chase. The book is perfect blend of action and little moments that make you swoon.
Number #9
Title: Under the Never Sky
Author: Veronica Rossi
Genre: YA Dystopian
Number of Pages: 374
Release Date: January 3rd, 2012 by HarperCollins
PLEASE OH PLEASE make this a movie. I will beg on my hands and knees. This is seriously one of my all-time favorite series with a perfect example of a swoon-worthy romance. Perry is my numero uno book boyfriend. You can’t have him.
Number #8
Title: Dorothy Must Die (#1)
Author: Danielle Paige
Genre: YA Retelling
Number of Pages: 452
Release Date: April 1st, 2014 by HarperCollins
Need I explain. Wizard of Oz. Retelling. There, explained.
Number #7
Title: Cinder (The Lunar Chronicles #1)
Author: Marissa Meyer
Genre: YA Retelling/Science Fiction
Number of Pages: 390
Release Date: January 3rd, 2012 by Feiwel & Friends
This tale is amazingly descriptive with a world I feel like I MUST see. I would love to see the words reimagined and shown on screen.
Number #6
Title: Thirteen Reasons Why
Author: Jay Asher
Genre: YA Contemporary
Number of Pages: 304
Release Date: October 18th, 2007 by Razorbill
Hauntingly beautiful and true to the realistic troubles that young people face, this is a story that needs to be told. If not by someone reading Jay Asher’s eloquent words, then by a big screen.
Number #5
Title: Redeeming Love
Author: Francine Rivers
Genre: Historical Fiction
Number of Pages: 464
Release Date: May 9th, 2005 by Multnomah Books
Truthfully, I don’t usually read Christian fiction, which is what this book is filed under, but this is a story that anyone can enjoy and take a great deal from. It tells the tale of a young girl that is sold to prostitution, and slowly learns what real love and healing means. I cried many, many times while reading.
Number #4
Title: The Crucible
Author: Arthur Miller, Christopher Bigsby
Genre: YA Historical Fiction
Number of Pages: 143
Release Date: March 25th, 2004 by Penguin Classics
I know this has already been made into a movie, but I would love to see this as a television series. This was a mournful time in our history, that can be mirrored to judgments we place on others today.
Number #3
Title: Bunnicula
Author: James Howe, Deborah Howe
Genre: YA Horror
Number of Pages: 128
Release Date: August 8th, 2006 by Atheneum Books for Young Readers (First published in 1979).
Laugh it up, because I would too. I’m actually not sure if it was ever made into a movie, but even so I’d love a remake. This is a comedic horror story about a vampire bunny. Oh, the nostalgia.
Number #2
Title: Sex Criminals, Vol. 1: One Weird Trick
Author: Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky
Genre: Romance/Comedic Graphic Novel
Number of Pages: 128
Release Date: April 29th, 2014 by Image Comics
This would make for one freaking hilarious (and rated R at least) movie. The art and little things you see in the background make this graphic novel an awesome ride start to finish. And it’s not just a story about sex. It has plot!
Number #1
Title: The Dead House
Author: Dawn Kurtagich
Genre: YA Thriller/Horror
Number of Pages: 440
Release Date: August 6th, 2015 by Orion Children’s Books
I haven’t even read this yet, and I already want to see the movie. -
I'm pretty sure I have watched all of the Buffy episodes at least twenty times. I just couldn't resist putting a list of my favorite episodes. There was a time I was embarrassed that I loved the show so much, but actually it helped me through a lot of bad times in my life. So here is my list, with NO SHAME.
Season 2, Episode Six - Halloween
In this episode, Ethan Rayne sells Halloween costumes that 'come to life'. You literally become what you wear. Seeing Buffy as a scared, innocent girl, watching Xander be all badass, and seeing Willow become so confident made this one of my favorite episodes.
Season 3, Episode 6 - Band Candy
Don't lie. You know Giles is sexy in this episode. Seeing him act like the old him and Buffy having to scold him - priceless. Oh, and don't forget the Principal. I've never laughed so hard.
Season 4, Episode 10 - Hush
This episode? Creepy as F*CK. The soundtrack, the villains, and seeing all the actors having to preform without speaking just showed the heavy talent in this show.
Season 5, Episode 7 - Fool For Love
The actor who plays Spike shows off his MAD-CRAZY acting skills. The writing and directing of this episode is off the charts. If I had to pick one episode that was my favorite, it would be this one. The character development from human-Spike to the Spike we see now is a brilliant ride.
Season 5, Episode 16 - The Body
So many shows have episodes where a close family or friend dies, but the grief and shock never feels realistic. After losing my mom this last year, I realized exactly how astounding this episode was. The acting was true to real emotions and not having any soundtrack behind it was haunting.
Season 5, Episode 22 - The Gift
Buffy dying in this episode actually made me cry. Seeing her sacrifice showed not only the heroine inside of her, but also the love she had for her friends and family. The soundtrack to this gave me chills. Seeing Spike collapse and the pain on Giles face - wow. Great acting.
Season 6, Episodes 1 and 2 - The Bargaining
This two-part episode is when Buffy comes back from the dead. Seeing the beginnings of total bad-ass Willow, Spikes reaction to seeing Buffy again and his protection of Dawn, as well as the excellent backdrop and filming makes this one of my favorite episodes.
Season 6, Episode 7 - Once More, With Feeling
Seriously. Who didn't love this episode? I even bought the soundtrack. This episode was so awesome, it seemed to have start the fad of having a musical episode in TV-shows. And the kiss between Spike and Buffy at the end. I collapsed with happiness.
Season 6, Episode 21 - Two to Go
It's like I had been waiting for Willow to go all baddy the whole season when I saw this finale. Although you want the good Willow back, this was one of my favorite episodes. My favorite part? When Giles showed up right at the end.
Season 6, Episode 22 - Grave
Ugh. TEARS, TEARS, AND MORE TEARS. The soundtrack to this episode is awesome and the acting is spectacular. It seriously makes me want the actress who plays Willow to do another serious role. Seeing Willow break down and have Xander save the world helped show the many aspects of love.
Season 7, Episode 10 - Bring on the Night
The 'Thunderdome' fight in this episode had my pulse pumping. I was cheering for Buffy when she showed them up for doubting her. And when she saved Spike in the end? The look between them made me melt.
Season 7, Episode 20 - Touched
The moment between Spike and Buffy in this episode will forever make me a Spuffy shipper. This scene and their romance seems way more realistic and true then anything she had with Angel. (Don't hate me Angel fans).
We all loved the series finale, even though I'm sure most of us cried when it was over. Hope you liked my list! Now I feel like I have to watch it again... Perhaps a Favorite Angel Episodes list is in your future.....
