My favorite on your list, Anne, is the Thursday Murder Club! I’m so glad I finally listened to that story and can understand why you chose them. And, of course Win!!!
I KNEW you would love Thursday Murder Club. It’s fabulous. And of course, Win.
I have to get back to Benjamin Jackas’ series. I read the first 2 or 3 books years ago, but it got lost among the many other series I read. I see it on best lists every where. At this point, I’d have to go back to book 1.
Hmmm, just found out we’re working remotely until Jan. 18, may have to see if the library has them on audio.
My library has them on audio and the narrator is terrific! I hope you get to them. Many 5 heart reads there.
Oh I forgot about Rocky, but what a FANTASTIC character, I completely agree! And Anna Latham has been a favorite for years as well. I need to read a lot of the other books!
It’s fun to think about the characters, many good ones. I also really enjoy Anna Latham.
I loved Rocky so much! It looks like I have a few to add to my list too.
I just finished 20 years later. Avery is a good choice! Fun lists!
I think it’s fun! That’s why I do it. Avery is a trip. I like how strong she is and how smart.
Rocky from Project Hail Mary and Eve/Jacob were favorites of mine as well.
There are lots of great options!
Only one that I have read from the lists is Win from Win. He is just such an interesting character isn’t he? He would have been on my list had I done one.
I’ve loved all the scenes of Win so I’m thrilled he is getting his own series.
Great lists again! I also loved Eve Brown from Act Your Age, Eve Brown
And Jacob! He had such adorable idiosyncrasies.
Cletus and Jenn are always favorites. I do need to read the new Stiefvater series. I used to devour her books as soon as I could get my hands on them, but haven’t in a while. But I did like Ronan in the Raven Cycle series. Great lists! Since I don’t do just characters, I do my book boyfriends, that is the post I linked to below!
Thanks, you could link the book boyfriends here or as your choice. Characters are really important to every story.
