Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by The Broke and TheBookish.
Since my blog is equal YA and fiction I’ve decided to
break it down in equal parts.
Top 5 YA Contemporary Characters
Park [Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell]
Park is someone I would’ve totally fallen for back in the
day. A guy who could make me a mean mixtape wins my heart.
Dash [Dash & Lily’s Book of Dares by Rachel Cohen
& David Levithan]
I like a guy who’s a bit of a smart-ass. I like that he would
keep you on your toes.
Allie [The Vinyl Princess by Yvonne Prinz]
When her
vinyl collection is described I knew I meant my kindred spirit.
For her
strong fearless self.
Mia [If I Stay by Gayle Forman]
The struggle she deals
with deciding to fight or let go is haunting. Very touching.
Top 5 Fiction Characters
Ingrid [White Oleander by Janet Fitch]
For being a mean
ruthless mom who even when in jail still has control over her daughter.
Holden [The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger]
One of
my fave coming of age characters.
Simply put… perfection!
Sidney [In The After by Ashley Mackler-Paternostro]
For
being the ultimate keeper of secrets and for truly being a best friend.
Landon [A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks]
The bad
boy with the heart of gold. All the things he did for Jamie just made me cry. I
want a guy like that.
I adore To Kill a Mockingbird, it's one of my favorite books! I just added The Vinyl Princess to my TBR list! :) My TTT is Favorite Characters from Fairy Tales/Fairy Tale Retellings: http://aliceinreaderland.com/2013/02/18/favorite-characters/
