I don't know why she felt the need to end the series the way she did. It ruined the whole thing. So don't read it, Hufflepuff Kitten!
Lol! My friend told me what happens in the 5th one, and I decided I'd never read it and that I'd just pretend it doesn't exist. :P I remember really liking those books in middle school. Carmen and Tibby were definitely my favorites. :D

Selfishly I thought if I was friends with the lead girls their male friends would be part of the package :) I really need to meet Thorne from Lunar Chronicles! He is awesome.

This is my list so far-this is really old school, but Betsy from the Maud Hart Lovelace series, the Betsy-Tacy books. And Leslie from Bridge to Terabithia (sob) and Hermione, and Carmen, and the MC in An Abundance of Katherines, by John Green, the guy, and I don't remember his name. One of my favorite boyfriends was the one in Fangirl. I forgot his name, too! :( Loved him, though!
Levi was the guy in Fangirl - he was super sweet :) Give Ruby a try! I really loved that series. It had great messages for young girls about staying true to yourself.
Here is my list in no particular order:
1. Luna Lovegood - Harry Potter Series
2. Katniss Everdeen - Hunger Games Trilogy
3. Anne Shirley - Anne of Green Gables
4. Elizabeth Bennet - Pride and Prejudice
5. Samwise Gamgee - Lord of the Rings
Honorable Mention:
Annabeth(Percy Jackson Series), Roc(Dweller Series), Jacky(Bloody Jack Series), Zuzana(Daughter of Smoke and Bone)

Ohhh, you have some awesome picks!! Luna, Samwise, Zuzana!

1. The Raven Boys - of the book with the same title
2. Harry Potter & crew - I'd b....
Nope. Stopping mid-post and asking if we can do this as a top 5 list instead? Something like "Top 5 books/series you'd like to jump into" or something of the sort? You guys like this idea? I kind of love it haha.

1. Ron Weasley - Harry Potter
2. Manchee - Chaos Walking
3. Iko - Lunar Chronicles
4. Alice Cullen - Twilight(whatevs, *swoon*)
5. Sam - Hold Me Closer, Necromancer

Mancheeee!! Brilliant pick!! :)
Tommy - you are cracking me up! hahaha! Yeah, like I said earlier, I am picking certain characters in the hopes that I can befriend their whole circle! Sometimes that is how it goes in real life...right??? If not, just let me pretend :)
Manchee!!!!!
Sam in Hold Me Closer and Samwise from LOTR are both great sick kicks and friend choices!

Thanks, Heidi!
I assume that I need to read Cinder since the characters are getting some love on here.
Ron Weasley and Luna Lovegood are both good choices from HP. Even when Ron was being a butthead, I loved him because his jealousy was so real and normal.
Tommy - My hubby and son are both Team Alice. The Twilight series are the only books I was able to get my son to read for pleasure. I have tried and tried to get him to read "good" books. Haha!

Yes Shannen! The Lunar Chronicles are awesome. I gave the 3rd book 5 stars, which for me rarely ever happens.

Romance in it?
Romance in it?
Yup. It is not romance heavy by any means but there is obvious couplings going on. I love Thorne. He is equal parts softy and smart ass :)
SHANNEN: I wasn't much of a fan with Cinder, but Scarlet sold me in. Definitely a must read series!
TOMMY: a great idea on you the next Top 5. If you want you can create the post of it.

2. Kricket from The Kricket Series
3. Peeta from The Hunger Games
4. Cinder from The Lunar Chronicles
5. Feyre from A Court of Thorns and Roses
I am reading Court of Thorns right now Donna. We shall see if she is added to my list too once I am done :)
