Why couldn't it be you?


Hello Lovelies! Another week, another Top Ten Tuesday, brought to you as always by The Broke and the Bookish. 

This week's topic is...

Top Ten Characters I Wish Had Their Own Book

  1. Miss Honey from Matilda. : Her story is really flushed out for the movie, but can you imagine a book about her trials growing up and then her becoming a teacher to help kids like her? So good.
  2. Wren from Fangirl : What's it like growing up knowing you're the second half of a name? And what about life made her desert the Simon Snow world? 
  3. Any of the ghosts from Liv, Forever: The snippets we got from them weren't enough. I want to know their whole story!!
  4. Alice from The Magicians.: This might have been much more interesting of a story for me if the protagonist was female. I couldn't stand Quentin. But maybe gender has nothing to do with it since even Martin Chatwin's story would have been a billion times more interesting to me.
  5. Marlee from The Selection : Marlee's story is about love and I love love stories. Show me the bravery of Marlee loving someone else during the competition with no interest in the Prince at all. 
  6. The Marauders from Harry Potter : Like this one seems to be pretty obvious, but I want to know more!! I just want to be able to read all about their adventures and friendship and love and ughhhhhhh. JUST GIVE ME MORE HARRY POTTER UNIVERSE!!!
  7. Stephen from the Shades of London series. : I want to know more about him. I do. I'm really hoping for more in the next book!
  8. Iorek Byrnison from The Golden Compass : Just an entire book about armored bears!!! Plus his back story is sooo interesting!!
  9. Farder Coram from The Golden Compass : This could be so cool!! Tell us his entire life story please.
  10. Prim from The Hunger Games : All of it from her view. ALL OF IT.

What do you think lovelies? Do you want to hear more about these characters too? Who would you choose? Let me know in the comments!

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll  is a very entertaining classic. I think everyone knows the story of young Alice who follows a White Rabbit into the world of Wonderland where everything is just slightly (or significantly) strange. For some reason, every time I've picked up Alice's Adventures before, I've put it down without making it more than 10 pages or so. But this time, I managed to finish it. It's a quirky sort of book, but I enjoyed it. It did make me think of The Phantom Tollbooth (here's my review of that classic), but I preferred Carroll's novel to Juster's. There's some great play on words and delightful misunderstandings because of homophones and characters not paying attention to each other. I think this is a worthwhile classic, but I don't actually have that much to say about it. Middle Grade March Count: 5

TBT: The Witch of Blackbird Pond

In middle school, I was a member of this reading club where we had a set of books to read as a team, and then we did like little quizzes on them against other teams. (SUPER NERD!). And now, I'm not entirely certain, but I feel pretty sure that club was where I read this book for the first time. The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare is a Newbery award winning historical fiction novel. Orphan Kit Tyler has been moved from her home in the Caribbean to her puritan relative's home in Connecticut.  She feels like she has nothing in common with these relatives, but she does form an attachment with an old Quaker woman and a young sailor, Nat. Of course breaking out of the mold is not without its price, and Kit learns this for herself when she is accused of witchcraft. This is one of those books that I think about constantly. I haven't reread it in several years, but I always want to. I recommend it frequently to other. This is a book for readers...
