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 with Single-Word Titles

Happy Top Ten Tuesday over at That Artsy Reader Girl! Books with Single-Word Titles These are all my favorite books that I could think of with one-word titles. A lot of fantasy, a few nonfiction (minus subtitles) and Kindred , whether you consider it scifi or historical fiction. Also two portmanteaus using the word "bitter." I suppose it's a word that lends itself to amelioration. 1. Sweetbitter by Stephanie Danler 2. Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore 3. Fire by Kristin Cashore 4. Heartless by Marissa Meyer 5. Inheritance by Christopher Paolini 6. Meditations by Marcus Aurelius 7. Stoned by Aja Raden (has a subtitle) 8. Educated by Tara Westover 9. Fledgling by Octavia Butler 10. Kindred by Octavia Butler

Book Review: The Speed of Clouds by Miriam Seidel

Book Review: The Speed of Clouds by Miriam Seidel *To Be Released from New Door Books on April 10, 2018* Mindy Vogel is haunted by the future. In frequent daydreams, she toggles between her real, wheelchair-bound life and the adventurous life of her fanfic alter ego, SkyLog officer Kat Wanderer. She's haunted by all that Kat can do which she cannot---belong to an organization of comrades, walk, and fall in love---yet. Because at twenty-four, Mindy's future is very much ahead of her, wheelchair notwithstanding. Through Mindy's "SkyLog" fanzine and related emails, Seidel evokes Star Trek fandom around the turn of the millenium, but also creates a new and compelling science fictional universe, similar to what Rainbow Rowell's Fangirl  does for the Harry Potter fandom with "Simon Snow." Mindy is among the pioneers transitioning fandom from print to digital, boldly encountering like-minded individuals from the comfort of her chair behind the monito

Books On My Summer 2024 TBR

 I've been fairly successful with my reading goals so far this year (40 out of 42 read!), but I still have some goals to catch up on or exceed (books by authors of color and women in translation). I've also got my book club books, and I'll throw a few new and/or summery titles into the mix for inspiration. Hoping to read many of these outside, basking in beautiful weather! Happy Top Ten Tuesday! Books On My Summer 2024 TBR She's Up to No Good by Sara Goodman Confino--This is technically for a book club, although I probably won't be able to attend the meeting.  I've heard so many good things about this one, and it looks like a good summer read, so I'm planning to read it anyway. Midnight in Siberia: A Train Journey into the Heart of Russia by David Greene (Book club read)--I already have it out of the library, but have to get on this one! It sounds very interesting but nonfiction usually takes me a little longer. The Edge of Lost by Kristina McMorris (Book cl
