Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish and features a new top ten list each week.
Favorite Characters
Being forced to choose will be torture, but HERE WE GO.
10. Sean Kendrick from The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater – Oh GOD. Sean is quiet and subdued, but he feels so much and he loves his horse and Puck and…GUH, LOVE.
09. Mary Quinn from The Agency series by Y.S. Lee – Girl detective in Victorian times! Mary is amazeballs and totally holds her own in any and all situations. YOU ONLY WISH YOU COULD BE AS AMAZING AS HER.
08. Etienne St. Clair from Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins – Can I sneak Cricket in here too? YES! Okay, but seriously…Steph Perkins writes the most perfect boys ever and St. Clair (and Cricket!) is an absolute delight.
07. Arya Stark from the A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R.R. Martin – Love her on the show, love her in the books — in both she is the POV I look forward to the most.
06. Rudy Steiner from The Book Thief by Markus Zusak – As Death himself said, “He steps on my heart. He makes me cry.” RUDYYYYYYYYY.
05. Todd Hewitt & Viola Eade from the Chaos Walking series by Patrick Ness – YES, THEY GET TO SHARE THIS SPOT BECAUSE THEY ARE THE EPITOME OF GOODNESS AND STRENGTH. Seriously, these two…your faves could never.
04. Adrian Ivashkov from the Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead – Uh, Dimitri who?! Ha, in all seriousness, Adrian is all sorts of messed up, and he has a long way to go to grow up, but he is lovable. PLUS, SKELETON TATTOOS, ETC.
03. Ron Weasley from the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling – WEASLEY IS MY KING. Ronald has been with me for over ten years and my loyalty to him has never wavered. If only I could be a Weasley!
02. Finnick Odair from The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins – Oh, Finnick! From the sugar cubes and then onwards, I would have never expected to love him so much and yet…he is my favorite of the series. I will raise hell if/when they mess up his casting in Catching Fire.
01. Ha, no, I am not choosing – Did you really think I would? I LOVE TOO MANY AND YOU CAN’T MAKE ME. So, yes, this spot will remain empty in dedication of the gazillion others I love.
About Stephanie
Yes yes yes, St. Clair. I should’ve cheated with mine and stuck him in with Cricket, lol. But ahh RON! He was so, so close to making my list too because I really wanted to include a Harry Potter character :/ And Mary Quinn, too …especially having just finished the third book in her series last night! Wah. This should have been Top 50.
A+ for Arya! FINISH A STORM OF SWORDS, please and thank you.
I like that you didn’t choose a Number 1! How clever of you.
I agree with Finnick! He’s one of my favorites from TGH. Also, I need to read The Agency series. I need more eyeballs!
Thanks for visiting my blog. ;)
I had Adrian too! I love how we get to see these occasional glimpses of depth and sensitivity behind his sex-drugs-and-rocknroll persona.
Eeeppp!!! Etienne! Adrian! Gah! *Melting* Lol. Awesome list!
Drop by my Top 10?
Rudy made my list too! I was devastated when….you know :-( Sad times. I also loved Todd and Viola- I always find it adrable when quite young children love each other!
My TTT: http://www.pocketfulofbooks.com/2012/04/top-ten-tuesday-favourite-characters-in.html
I adore all of your choices! Especially St. Clair and Adrian! Great list!
Love this list – some of my favorite characters are represented, like Arya & Sean.
I liked Finnick, too. Hahaha. I started to like him during that ‘sugar cube’ scene with Katniss. Hahaha. Great list! :)
My Top Ten Favorite Character
So many good picks!!! Plus I love your number one… but no James! I can’t believe I left James off my list! I’m so disappointed with myself.
Yes to Arya! Though she isn’t my favorite from the series I do love her. I love Finnick as well, the other characters were sort of “meh” for me to be quite honest! I have Scorpio Races on my TBR, I am excited to start it!
My Top Ten Tuesday!
I love your little “cheat” at the end! Excellent idea, I felt so guilty for choosing. Great picks too!
Feel free to visit my list :)
I was so super tempted to add Finnick! He WAS on my original list of 24 but I had to narrow it down. I feel like it counts, still lmao
St. Clair! I didn’t think of him so it’s a good thing I didn’t do this TTT or I would’ve curled up into a ball. It honestly would’ve driven me insane, trying to pick characters. And YES Finnick.
Fantastic post! I LOVE your #10. I had the honor of handing out The Book Thief Monday for World Book Night…I hope the recipients love it as much as you do. That would be incredible.
You know what, I agree with EVERYTHING in this post! Okay maybe except no.9 since I haven’t read the Agency series. But I get goosebumps just by thinking about these characters. Yay for another Team Adrian! And Todd and Viola!! Those two would have made the number 1 spot on my list. Sean and Etienne and Finnick *swoons*. I haven’t read any book in Song of Fire and Ice series but I’m an avid fan of the Game of Thrones tv series. I totally love Arya! I think she’s the coolest character in the show along with Tyrion Lannister. And let’s not forget Rudy and The Book Thief which made me cry while reading for the first time ever. Fantastic list!
