This Tuesday's theme is...
Top Ten Characters Who
Need Their Own Book
Need Their Own Book
I was really excited about this week's topic...and then I tried to put it together and it was hard. There are so many characters that I'd love to read a book about, but at the same time, there weren't quite ten that I really needed that from, if that makes sense. And then there were characters I didn't mention because I already see their POV occasionally throughout a series, like in the Morganville Vampires, Throne of Glass, and Lunar Chronicles. I also wanted to mention boy characters and girl characters, and, well...here are ten--not necessarily my top--characters who need their own book. (Also, I didn't want to just focus on love interests--I wanted more secondary characters, for the most part--so ahhh.)
The Comedian
Kenji Kishimoto
I would laugh THE ENTIRE TIME and therefore be crying and having a serious stomach ache.
The Smarty Pants
Daniel Dyer
Few siblings in books stand out like Mara Dyer's older brother Daniel does.
The Dead Girl
Anna Korlov
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think we ever get the POV of the title character, and WE TOTALLY SHOULD.
The Boy Who Never Grows Up
Peter Pan
Seriously, Peter, WHAT IS GOING THROUGH YOUR HEAD IN THIS BOOK?
The Secondary Standout
Sturmhond
Pretty sure Sturmhond (and a certain prince) saved this book.
The Goth Girl
Eve Rosser
This would be such sarcastic funness and also MORE MORGANVILLE.
The Kidnapper
Ty MacFarlane
Dear Ty: Please tell us what the hell you were thinking.
The Sugar Cube Lover
Finnick Odair
Probably one of my favorite secondary characters ever.
The Know-It-All
Sloane
This book would probably make me feel stupid because Sloane knows pretty much EVERYTHING.
The Fanboy
Levi
What characters do you want to see get their own book?
Loving your list Rachel. I have Kenji and Daniel on my list this week as well. They definitely need a book of their own!
ReplyDeleteKenji would be hilarious!! He's my favorite in that series. And FINNICK. Oh finnick. How I love you.
ReplyDeleteOh my god. You've just made me cry at the thought of Peter Pan. He's such a sweetheart :'( And I do believe you're right, we never did get to see from Anna's point of view. I guess there's only so much she could do from her pov to keep the book interesting. Maybe an extra short? I love short stories.
ReplyDeleteFinnick made it to my list, too!

Great list! I'd love books, or at least novellas about Sturmhond and Finnick, too.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you titled these characters. It made it so interesting to see who/what you chose next!
ReplyDeleteAck, I still need to buy RETRIBUTION! Maybe Daniel will be in it more <3 Oooh, yes, I want Peter's perspective! Oh, a Sturmhond book would certainly be nice! LOVED him! I chose the Darkling; I want his backstory!! Finnick!!! ;_;
Oh. I've never read any of those book but they seem great! I guess that means I need to update my library.

Sturmhond made my list too! I would love an insight into his past adventures.
ReplyDeleteGreat List!
These need to happen!!! Kenji, Finnick, and Strumhond. Love those boys! Great picks Rachel.

Yeah, actually, a book about Finnick would be pretty awesome. :)
ReplyDeleteOh man, Finnik is a really good secondary character. One that I totally left off my list, cause I didn't think of him. But he's amazing and this new movie is going to hurt, a lot.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT
Kenji! Yes! Also picked Levi and Finnick, and I didn't think about it but I too would like a story from Tiger Lily's Peter Pan.
