Magic Touch Giveaway Hop and Swag Bonanza (US/CA)

 
This Hop is hosted by author Kallysten and book blog Riverina Romantics. In addition to individual prizes provided on each blog, we are offering assorted swag to the first 100 participants who simply tell us they want some! See all details and sign up here.



Hello Lovelies and welcome to our stop on THE MAGIC TOUCH hop! We're very excited to join this hop. :) So, we're suppose to talk about something magical and I suppose I could talk about Kim Harrison's the Hollows or some other fabulous book series but instead I want to give a shout out to my favorite magical trio, the Halliwell sisters! I'm talking about the television series, CHARMED, of course! The Charmed Ones, the power of three, the Book of Shadows, magical powers, the most powerful good witches of all time and of course their hunky men! I actually stayed with this show longer then I did Buffy. *gasp* And if I could find it on TNT like they say it's suppose to be on, I would still be watching the re-runs! lol I'm still waiting for my DVD collection... (*psst* Ya' know...my birthday is in just a few days... :D) But anyhoo! My favorite sister is Piper (I know, no one liked her but I did!). I even tried to name my daughter after her but the Hubs vetoed that quickly! I did get my Cole though...is that weird? lol I thought it was so cool how Piper could freeze things, even a whole room! And being married to a hot Angel? Yes, please! And her son, Chris from the future, was a total hottie too (Drew Fuller, look him up)! At first I was upset that they got rid of Prue/Shannen Doherty, but after that first season in I think Rose McGowan/Paige did an excellent job picking up the slack! If you want to check out this series go >here<. Are there any other CHARMED fans out there? 

Okay, I'm done gushing now. Are you all ready for the giveaway part yet?

  2. I was always a Piper fan. I identified with her more than Prue or Phoebe, and we don't need to mention Paige.

  3. I a huge fan- all seasons!!! I have always been a fan of Piper and her kick-butt power!! I love anything magic.. My favorite episode was probably the last one where everything comes together and cupid was hot!!!

  4. I wasn't a huge fan, but I did watch it. I liked Piper best.

  5. I still watch Charmed, on TNT. It comes on at 7:00 a.m. as I'm getting ready to leave for work. Phoebe and Prue always seem to be half-dressed and going too much for the sex factor. Piper was the steady one--she always had a job, got a husband, a family. I did lust after Cole rather than Leo, though!

  6. I loved Charmed and watched it all the way from start to finish. My favorite character was Phoebe and I loved it when Cole was around, he was fun.

  7. I freaking love Charmed!! My favorite character was Cole... what can I say I like bad boys!! LOL

  8. I never really watched Charmed but my daughters did so I saw bits and pieces. I don't remember the characters names only the actresses real names, weird.

  9. I love Charmed. One of my favorite tv shows. I love Pru the most and was so upset when they killed her off. I hated the bad girl in the last season. I don't remember her name right now.

    ReplyDelete
  10. We still get Charmed in TNT in the mornings here and occasionally I will indulge, although I am sure I have already watched every episode at least twice. I must admit that Pru always annoyed me - can't say why, just did not like her character. I loved Phoebe and Piper, but did not like Piper's hubs in fact I cannot even think of his name right now LOL talk about not liking a character. Thank you for your generous participation in the magical fun :)

  11. I love Charmed! I have them all on dvd. My favorite was always Piper.
    Thanks for the chance to win!

  12. OMG!! YES!! I am a HUGE FAN of Charmed!! I will watch this show when ever I see it on TV or I'll just watch it all on Netflix.
    My favorite character is Phoebe. I like everything about her character. And I am so jealous that she got to kiss Cole (Julian McMahon)!! He is so yummmyyyy! Actually I wish that they would of let him stay good and not turn evil again. But I know they had to get him off the show. I think they wrote him off so he can start Nip n Tuck. IDK!
    Anyways, my least favorite character is
    Prue. I won't say anything about why. But when she left the show I loved Charmed even more. I really like Piper and Paige but I like Phoebe just a little more. And I have to admit that when the whole Avatar thing started I just didn't care for that story line. But loved all the other shows! Sorry! I guess I got a little carried away:) I can talk about this series for like ever! And Buffy The Vampire Slayer to! This was a lot of fun to talk about. Thanks for being a part of this awesome giveaway hop!!

  14. i like the show how they found there true sister and then combine there powers pipper is great

    ReplyDelete
  15. OMG... I used to be a HUGE fan of that show. Phoebe was my favorite because she was rebellious and sexy. But my all-time FAVORITE character was Cole! I loved him SO MUCH that my screen name is named after the actor who played him and for a long, long time I wanted to name my first son, Cole.
    This is an awesome blog hop! I'm a big fan of supernatural books especially romantic ones. I love magic and I love that you never know what people's abilities are going to be. It leaves so much more open to guessing because the world that the author builds all of a sudden does NOT follow our world's rules. I love when people can listen to thoughts or move things with their minds. I also think being able to control other's emotions would be a handy gift. Probably my favorite books involving people with magic are 'Beautiful Creatures' and 'Poison Study.' It must be hard to be responsible for such power. I love when Lena from 'Beautiful Creatures' is trying to harness all she has. It's something akin to the awkwardness we all go through in middle school in which we are trying to figure out who we are.
    Thanks for the giveaway and I'm gonna keep on hopping!

  18. I remember watching Charmed. But not a lot. I think it was on when Dad wanted to watch something. I remember on show about an Angel that fell in love one of the witches. I thought that was interesting. Thanks for being in the Magical blog hop.

  19. I was more of a Buffy fan than Charmed, but my best friend (while that show was airing) had an OBSESSION with it. Maybe I should give it a chance haha.

    Thanks for the giveaway.

  26. OMG, yes I LOVED CHARMED. My mother, my daughter, and I watched every season. I am with you, Piper was my favorite and I thought the actor that played the adult Wyatt was hot too.
    It did come on TNT early in the mornings.

  27. Prue was my Favorite charmed sister being the oldest myself I could so relate to having the world on top of my shoulder just like prue.... always having to fix it....

    ReplyDelete
  28. I loved Charmed... I was so sad when prue died... But i have to say I loved Piper as I am the youngest girl and she ends up going through so much. Not that the other sisters Paige included don't. But she loves a Demon for gods sake... My favorite episode has to be the goddesses one when they all get turned into goddesses.

  29. I haven't watched that show in years. I really loved the first few seasons. I was a big fan of all the hot mancakes!

  30. I have seen every single episode of Charmed, and loved every one. Paige was always my favorite character and I just loved the idea that she was able to orb wherever she wanted to.

  31. I love Charmed. I even got my husband watching it. I think, in the end, my favorite character was Leo. Brian Kraus is a cutie!! I do not have a favorite episode, there are just so many of them. I really dislike Pru. It may not be her character, but the the actress that portrayed her that I couldn't stand. Thanks for the giveaway.

  32. I lovee Charmed!! I have to say my fav episode is when they became gods and piper went off the deep end with the storm was kind of sad then again so was when pheobie and them vanquished cole a sthe source that was super sad too my fav character of the whole show had to be Chris

    ReplyDelete
  33. Yes I watched it and still do on WE channel. My favorite character was Prue and I really don't care for Paige. I had a problem with them bringing her in when the whole story was about the 3 charmed ones not the 3 and a spare.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I watched a few episodes and I liked Piper

    ReplyDelete
  35. I used to love Charmed, but it has been a really long time since I saw it. I do remember liking Piper, but I never liked Shannon Doughtery's character.

    Thank you for participating in this hop!
