Friday Link Dump: Bookish Board Games and Shirtless Vampires

Here are ten literary board games you know you want to play.
 
How well do you know the chests of The Vampire Diaries boys? I got seven out of nine right, which is just not good enough. Clearly I need to study them some more.

The new publicity images for season six of Mad Men are gorgeous. I still need to catch up on season five!

Love these vintage photos of Australian beach life and Paris fun. 

I need to eat make this Milo cheesecake. It looks amazing.

Here are some very creative (and cute) photos of Stormtrooper lego. 

On this blog
I introduced a new feature!
I reviewed The Woman in Black by Susan Hill.
I found some gorgeous typewriter-inspired products.
I talked about how addictive it is to DNF.
One of the top search terms was "Alexander Skarsgard huge cock." Unfortunately, I don't have the answer to that, but I do have this gif...

Ahem...

Pash, Pick or Pass: The Vampire Diaries

Time to play Pash, Pick or Pass - a game where we pick from a random book trio and say who we'd pash (and dash), who we'd pick for a relationship and who we'd pass on all together.

The Contenders
This week I finally caught up on the end of The Vampire Diaries season two (which I missed while we were in America), so I'm currently obsessing over those boys. More so than usual, anyway. Therefore, this week's contenders are...

Damon Salvatore

Stefan Salvatore

Matt Donovan (show) a.k.a. Matt Honeycutt (books)

OK, so TVD is a TV show, but it's based on a book series, so I say it still counts. Though since I've only read one book from the series (plus Volume One of Stefan's Diaries), I'm mostly basing my views of the characters on the show. But hey, it's my game and I'll do what I want, mwahaha.

My Choices

Pick: If I was thinking with my head, I'd say Stefan. He's sweet, smart, selfless, and sensationally good looking. But when it comes to The Vampire Diaries, I can't help but think with my... er, heart. Which leads me to pick Damon. The misunderstood, kinda evil, super sexy Damon. He desperately needs some lovin'. My lovin'. Screw Elena!

Pash: I went into this thinking I was going to pash Stefan... but dayum did you see that picture of Matt?! Oh haaaaaaaayyy. I choose Matt.

Pass: That leaves me to pass on Stefan. Sob! Poor guy, I do love him. But he's got nothing on Damon. It's OK, he's got Elena, coz she still insists on denying her true feelings for Damon. So she can have Stefan. I'll take the rest.

Who out of this tasty trio would you pash, pick and pass?

Pash, Pick or Pass: Hot Vamps

The Contenders
Three of my fave vamps - Edward Cullen from The Twilight Saga, Damon Salvatore from The Vampire Diaries and Eric Northman from The Southern Vampire Mysteries.

My Choices 

Pash: Eric. Coz he pulls good string. I lurve him so, but with all the vamp politics, he's not really ideal boyfriend material. I'd sure pash the Viking out of him though.

Pick: Damon. He's a good guy at heart with all the sexiness of a bad boy. But the poor guy desperately needs some lovin'. And I'd be more than happy to oblige.

 Pass: Edward. He may have been my first vamp love, but he pales in comparison (literally) to the others.

Who out of Eric, Edward and Damon would you pash, pick and pass? Share your choices in your own post and leave a link in the comments, or reveal them directly below!

Next time: We play with The Princess Bride's leading men - Westley, Inigo and Humperdinck!
