Blogger at Books of My Heart
I can't really remember any time when I wasn't reading. I LOVE books and what they give me. It's an opportunity to learn new things, see new places,live different emotions in a "safe" way. It lets me live in a new world.
I read all types of books but my favorites are urban fantasy and romantic suspense.I like some romance and some action / adventure / mystery in everything.I like sex in my books but please, only between TWO people.Intimate conversation is equally important to the sex in a book.It lets me see the characters.The other thing I enjoy is humor.

One of my favourite characters was Marcellus the Octopus from Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt
I haven’t read that one but I’ll have to check it out.
Glad to get one of your fav characters, Gill.
Cletus is always one of my favorite characters from Penny Reid. And I really need to read Stiefvater’s spinoff series!
Cletus is our favorite even when he isn’t the main character of the book.
Steifvater’s spin off is so good. And Cletus is always a hoot and a hollar.
Yes the whole gang in The Thursday Murder Club, Anne! Sophia I love Mercy and Truman in the Mercy Kilpatrick series too! I’ll link up my second half of my favorites on this even though it’s not the characters I featured. 🙂
Yes those are favorites including Mercy & Truman. I linked you up to top 10 books Rachel.
Thanks, Anne!
I hope to read The Thursday Murder Club in the new year at some point.
After that surprise return to the Mercy Kilpatrick series this year, I fell in love with that pair all over again.
Yes! I didn’t know we were getting another Mercy and Truman book. I was happily surprised and I hope we get more!
This was fun! I liked Molly from The Maid as well, and I liked Mallory from Station Eternity. And thanks to Robin for reminding me that I need to read Totally Forked. Have a Happy Holiday to you all!
There are so many great books and a key to them is these great characters. Thank you Wendy.
The Station Eternity characters were great. I loved them, too.
Great lists. I haven’t read any of these books yet but Genmate Forsaken is on my list to read soon.
Well we are giving you lots of options in a variety of genres this week, Mary. I hope you enjoy some of them.
I can’t wait to see what you think when you read the Genmate stories, Mary.
Anne & Sophia I agree with so many of your choices!
Fun to see everyone’s lists, right? There was some great books this year.
Thank you Kimberly! We just choose the ones we loved.
Thank you, Sophia! I’m thrilled you liked Lala and Edwin Mysk from the Genmate Dilemma series!
I am really looking forward to Station Eternity.
I really enjoyed it. I hope you do too.
Clef is such a great character and I love the fact that he is a key! I am planning to read Locklands next!
Sentient objects can sometimes be a big win in my book. He made the first two books.
I see quite a few of my favorite characters…Mercy & Adam, Amos Decker, Elizabeth/Joyce/Ron & Ibrahim, Mercy & Truman💜 Glad to see them here.
Character love is an important part of book love. The best books have great characters.
Verity and Frankie are fun!!!!
They are! I’ve read the first few in that series.
I’m not familiar with your characters Anne I’ll have to take a look
Robin oh yes to Auri from the Sunshine Vicram series
And Sophia Rose who couldn’t love Angie Fox’s Verity and Frankie
Happy New Year
Characters are the heart of the story so I feel it’s important to recognize the well-crafted ones (good or evil)
I am completely with you on Catalina and Alessandro. As well as Mercy and Adam.
yes characters are the heart of the story.
