Top Ten Characters I'd Like to Check In With

Happy Top Ten Tuesday!

Love this topic, there are a lot of characters that I continue to wonder about!


1. Luna Lovegood from the Harry Potter books by J.K. Rowling

What is Luna up to? She's probably leading an exciting life chasing Crumple-Horned Snorkacks, writing for the Quibbler, and starting a line of outrageous fantastical beast-themed hats.

2. Neville Longbottom from the Harry Potter books by J.K. Rowling

We do find out in the epilogue that Neville becomes the Herbology professor, and later Rowling revealed that he married Hannah Abbott. But...there must be some awesomeness that Neville is getting involved in, and I want to know about it.

3. Matilda from Matilda by Roald Dahl

What happens after Matilda moves in with Miss Honey? Super-geniuses don't just fade into thin air.

4. Wade and Art3mis from Ready Player One by Ernest Cline

What happens after Wade wins the game? What happens to him and Art3mis? What happens to their world?

5. Lyra and Will from the His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman

I just really, really want there to be a way that Lyra and Will can somehow meet again.

6. Lee Fiora from Prep by Curtis Sittenfeld

Who is the adult that we see glimpses of in the way the story is told? Does she really become a better person?

7. Emily from the Emily books by L.M. Montgomery

Life doesn't end with marriage! What do Emily and Teddy do next?

8. Jane from Jane of Lantern Hill by L.M. Montgomery

Most of Montgomery's heroines have so much written about them, and there's only one book for Jane. I bet there was much more for her to see and do...

9. Dan from Jo's Boys by Louisa May Alcott

Even though the curtain closes forever on the March family, I think there's more that could happen to Dan. I wish he could get together with Bess too, though I know Alcott would never have let that happen.

10. Samwise Gamgee from the Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien

Sam is the only one of the gang whose story is really unresolved, and he's got plenty of kids, especially eldest daughter Elanor, to carry on the adventures.

You have some good picks. I totally agree with the HP characters and Samwise. What are they up to?

I can't believe that I didn't include Matilda in my list. I'd love to know how she's getting on with Miss Honey! I'd love to know how Luna is getting on too. My TTT
I like how you included some lesser-known characters!

Here's my Top Ten!

Books I Loved But Never Reviewed

 Reviewed is a strong word. I've mostly stopped doing formal book reviews except for author requests and/or when I feel like it, but I usually give some description and or opinions of books I'm reading, usually multiple times, through weekly and monthly wrap-ups. I do find that it' s more difficult to review my absolute favorite books than books I either disliked or engaged with strongly on an intellectual rather than emotional level. For example, I rarely review poetry beyond "I loved it'" or "Meh." It's much easier to explain criticism of vocabulary usage or a plot device than explain how the book felt like a snug little snow globe. So, for this Top Ten Tuesday , I'm listing books that I loved, didn't give a formal review, and (I think) didn't discuss too much.  Books I Loved But Never Reviewed A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers Tess of the Road by Rachel Hartman We Are Okay by Nina LaCour The Broken Earth Trilogy by N.K.

Cozy Snowy Books and Books I Want for Hanukkah

 As usual, it's that time again to adjust the Top Ten Tuesday topic because tonight is the third night of Hanukkah. Hanukkah always starts on the 25th of Kislev but that sometimes needs some adjusting on the Gregorian calendar. Happy third night to my fellow celebrants, and happy almost-winter and/or winter holidays to everyone else! Since I also missed last week's topic, I've decided to share some cozy snowy reads--the topic was books set in snowy places but Jana added cozy and I like that as well-- to get into the wintery mood as well as some books I'd like for Hanukkah. Books Set in (Cozy) Snowy Places Love You a Latke by Amanda Elliott--This one is set during Hanukkah in Maine and NYC, so lots of cozy snow and wintry scenes in this evocative Hanukkah romance--and yes, it does involve a lot of food... The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis--Narnia is, of course, not an entirely nice place when the Pevensie children enter it, yet Mr. Tumnus, Mr. and Mrs....

Books That Conjure Up Happy Memories

Happy Top Ten Tuesday!  I'm trying to get back in the swing. This one is asking for a bit more work than usual since I can't just pull up Goodreads, which I've only had as an adult. I do still have some of these on the shelves at least. Books That Conjure Up Happy Memories  The Source by James Michener-- Going to Barnes & Noble with my grandpa who wanted to pick out this book for me since he thought I would enjoy it (he was right) Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares--My friend lending me the first 2 books at camp The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis--Reading these aloud with my dad The books by she who must not be named--Reading these aloud with my brother A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle--Finding this in the children's section of a library I went to as a kid The Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler--Reading this as a kid, teaching it as an adult, and sharing with other adults who appreciated it in one of my book clubs Last Day on M...
