Jaws is the best Bond villain EVER. Hands down.

Based on my limited knowledge of Bond villains, I agree. He’s so large! And those teeth! He is fearsome, indeed.

So, I picked my villain and I do think she’s a fairly twisted one. Sorry for the silly question, but do I need to write a post on her and send you the link to that? or just sign up to the blogathon with my villain’s name?

In an ideal world, both would be great. However, if you could send me the link to your completed post, that would be fabulous. I’m looking forward to seeing your choice!
