Book Blog Hop (17)


Book Blogger Hop


Book Blogger Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Jennifer at Crazy-for-Books. In the spirit of the Twitter Friday Follow, the Book Blogger Hop is a place just for book bloggers and readers to connect and share our love of the written word! This weekly BOOK PARTY is an awesome opportunity for book bloggers to connect with other book lovers, make new friends, support each other, and generally just share our love of books! It will also give blog readers a chance to find other book blogs to read! So visit Crazy-for-Books to grab the logo, post about the Hop on your blog, and start HOPPING through the list of blogs that are posted in the Linky list there!

This week's question:

"Who's your all-time favorite book villain?"

This is tough! I never think much about my favorite villains. But I think I will chose Darken Rahl from the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind. Although he was definitely evil, he also has an interesting history. Plus he reappears for several books, so I feel like I know the man behind the villain. And that makes you both love him and hate him at the same time.

Who's your favorite villain?

  1. I have lots of readers at my HS library who are crazy for Terry Goodkind. Guess I should give the series a try.

    I hope you take part in my poll about what I should read next and take a look at my new Reading Challenge.

  22. I only know Darken Rahl through The Seeker. I have yet to read the books. But, if he's anything like (probably worse) the TV show, then he is a fantastic villain.

  23. My favorite book villain is, hands down, is the Napoleon of crime -
    Professor James Moriarty.

    It took me less than ten seconds to come up with my answer. But you'll
    never guess why.

  28. My favorite villain is Snape. And not just because Alan Rickman in the movies is awesome. I've always liked Snape, right from the start.
