Favorite Five Book Characters
Elizabeth Bennett,
Beatrice (Much Ado About Nothing),
Zara White,
Andromeda Miller.
I've no idea what this list says about me.
Terri Rochenski:
Elizabeth Bennett,
Drizzt Do’Urden,
Mitch Rapp,
any of L’Amour’s Sacketts, & Ethan Holloway.
Shaya Roy:
Harry Potter. I don't care if he's a Gary Stu or whatever. I still love him to pieces. In fact, all these five places would've been filled with HP characters but I decided to be more diverse ;)
Sherlock Holmes. This man is a true genius, and without possessing any otherworldly powers. Having Robert Downey Jr. and Benedict Cumberbatch play him in the film and TV versions doesn't help either.
Scarlett O'Hara. I never could decide whether I hated her or liked her.
Bridget Jones. A "v.g." rendition of the real woman, what with her wonderfully real weight worries and boy troubles. She always makes me laugh.
Emma in 'Emma' by Jane Austen. She's beautiful, arrogant and thinks she knows best. She should've been the shrewish other woman in a romance but Austen manages to make her the heroine - and a very likeable one at that.
Annabelle Blume:
Dorian Gray (Not that Grey, the OTHER Gray)
Scarlett O'Hara
Nora Sutherland (Original Sinner Series)
Rebecca Bloomwood (Shopoholic Series)
Katniss Everdeen
Lily Carlyle:
Stephanie Plum (Stephanie Plum novels by Janet Evanovich)—I love her attitude and pluckiness. Also, I’m jealous of the fact that despite all the junk food she eats, she still has two hot guys chasing after her. I think that’s the joy of fiction.
Grandma Mazur (Stephanie Plum novels)—She reminds me a lot of my own Hungarian grandmother, although much raunchier than Grandma ever was (or allowed me to see!).
Kinsey Millhone (Kinsey Millhone Mystery)—Can you tell I love mysteries? Attitude, again.
V. I. Warshawski—Again with the attitude. I can relate to her ethnic heritage and sense of justice that doesn’t always follow the law.
Hannah Tupper, the so-called witch in The Witch of Blackbird Pond—I admire her strong sense of right and wrong, which again, doesn’t necessarily follow the law or the whims of the time. “But remember, thee has never escaped at all if love is not there.”

Jodie,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for hosting us today! I have to admit that I don't know half of the characters listed by the other authors. Makes me curious to go check into them, though!
Have a great holiday.
This was an amazing idea. I'm itching to check out all those new characters!
ReplyDeleteI feel like I'm not literary enough! But I enjoyed reading everyone's favorites.
ReplyDeleteWoot! Go Jane Austen fans. I guess that is expected coming from romance authors. :-) This was such a fun exercise! Although it was hard to pick only a few. Thanks for hosting us.
