Top Ten Tuesday #72 - Characters You Wish Would Get Their OWN Book


Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the fabulous gals cover at The Broke & The Bookish. This week's topic is -

Top Ten Characters You Wish Would Get Their OWN Book

I'm guilty of not always paying attention to the secondary characters in books apart from the odd one who sticks in my mind for some reason. These are the characters I remember most vividly including one which is a bit of a cheat!


Auri

Patrick Rothfuss must have read my mind. Auri is one of my favorite characters so I can't wait to read Slow Regard!

 Jasper

I know Twilight is hugely unpopular these days but given Jasper's history I would love to read a book just about him. He is definitely the most interesting of the Cullen clan!

Chaol

Just because...

Finnick

Same as above!
Haymitch

I would love to read about Haymitch's younger days, when he won the Games especially.

Ian

Aside from Cat & Bones, Ian is my favorite character. I would definitely read a book where he was the main character.

Nix aka Nucking Futs Nix

Nix, oh Nix! I love her antics and she is without doubt my favorite in all of the Immortals After Dark books that I've read.

Calliope

I've only recently binge read my way through all three of Stephanie Perkins' books and Calliope is the only character I feel we didn't learn anything about or get her own Happily Ever After. This must be rectified!


Hermione, Luna & Snape

Who doesn't want to know more about some of the most loved characters in fiction? I would love to read a book about Snape as a child and growing up

Top Ten Tuesday #26 - Best/Worst Series Enders

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the lovely people at The Broke and the Bookish. This week's topic is -

Top Ten Best/Worst Series Enders

This week's Top Ten post nearly didn't happen! I decided to liven up everybody's Monday and ended up being rushed to the hospital in an ambulance after passing out! I never do things by halves... I ended up getting a clean bill of health - sort of - but I've got to see my doctor next week and schedule some tests. Fingers crossed it's nothing worth talking about! Anyway, that's why my post is so late today and why nothing went up yesterday - apologies folks!

This topic was weird for me as I must have started over a hundred different series and only finished a handful, mostly ones listed here. I've split them into three different categories - worst, indifferent and best.

Worst - I demand a re-write!

Breaking Dawn - Stephenie Meyer

The Summer Garden - Paullina Simons

Indifferent - Didn't love the ending, didn't hate it either...

Mockingjay - Suzanne Collins

Gone - Lisa McMann

The Amber Spyglass - Philip Pullman

Best - Nearly perfect endings!

Last Sacrifice - Richelle Mead

Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows - J K Rowling

If I Should Die - Amy Plum

Monsters of Men - Patrick Ness

The Iron Knight - Julie Kagawa
What's on your list? I'm sure I've forgotten a series or two, I can't believe those are among the only ones I've finished!
