Secondary/Minor Characters Who Deserve More Love

 I absolutely love this topic! I often find myself interested and wishing to learn more about secondary and/or minor characters, especially those I feel were shortchanged; poor Ismene from Antigone always comes to mind. 

Happy Top Ten Tuesday over at That Artsy Reader Girl!


Secondary/Minor Characters Who Deserve More Love

1. Ismene from Antigone

2. Susan from The Chronicles of Narnia

3. Persephone, Maura, and Calla from The Raven Boys--I would love a prequel (or three) about Blue's mother Maura and her psychic friends. Aunt Jimi and Cousin Orla too.

4. Zoya from the Grishaverse books--we don't know much about her family or how she became involved with the Darkling. But she puts her grievances aside to do what is right when she doesn't need to.

5. Death (pronounced Deeth) and his cat, the librarian with a Graced memory in Bitterblue

6. Teddy and Saf's sisters Tilda and Bren, also in Bitterblue, always felt like they could have been more part of the story, with how they found Saf and ran the printing press

I totally agree with you about Susan! I always thought Lewis could have done so much more with her.

Great list! I haven't read any of these books.

I twisted the topic some, as I have trouble remembering secondary characters.

When you get the chance, I hope you stop by my post: https://readbakecreate.com/10-books-that-deserve-more-love/

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 with Single-Word Titles

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

The Ten Most Recent Additions to My Book Collection

 Most of the books I buy these days are ebooks, or books I'm technically "renting" (I guess that's the right term?) on Kindle Unlimited. I also get a few ebooks for review, usually from LibraryThing or directly from authors. Mostly I get books from the library, but I also try to buy/preorder from my favorite authors--sometimes ebooks or sometimes an actual book if I don't have a signed copy from that author yet! Here are the most recent books I've either bought or rented (TBR would be a whole other list!). Happy Top Ten Tuesday over at That Artsy Reader Girl!
