Friday's Fab Five & the Book Blogger Hop

It has been awhile since we've participated in a Friday meme or blog hop, so today we've decided to do both!  :-)    

This fun meme is hosted by Froggarita's Bookcase.  Every Friday Froggarita asks five questions, which may or may not be book-related, so we can all get to know each other better.  The only rule is that you can't use the same answer twice within your five!   Ready to play?  Leave your answers in the comments or leave us a link to your own Friday's Fab Five post.  :)


1.  Name 5 books coming out you want to read BADLY:
Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare, City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare, Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins, Matched by Ally Condie, & Shadow Hills by Anastasia Hopcus

2.  Name 5 up and coming authors to watch:
Julie Kagawa (The Iron King), Kimberley Derting (The Body Finder), Kiersten White (Paranormalcy), Andrea Cremer (Nightshade), & Leah Cypess (Mistwood)

Catherine Fisher (Incarceron), Margaret Mahy (The Changeover), Frances Hardinge (Fly By Night), Richelle Mead (Vampire Academy), & Jackson Pearce (Sisters Red)

4.  Name 5 characters you would love to date:
Hmm... I have so many fictional crushes, it is hard to list just five!  ;-)   Jace (The Mortal Instruments), Peeta (The Hunger Games), Gilbert (Anne of Green Gables), George (Alanna), & Mr. Darcy (Pride and Prejudice)
