I thought we haven't done one of these for awhile so made one up! Please list the top 5 book characters you would like to be friends with in real life.

Tiny Dancer from Will Grayson will surely be making my list :)

I agree so much, read the 5th book a few months ago, soo bad.

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!


message 11: by Ashley Marie (new)

Ashley Marie I wasn't a fan of books 3 and 4, so no worries there!

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.

Ashley Marie Yeah I went back and gave Finnick an "honorable mention" ;) lol


message 31: by Dixie (new)

Dixie Minor | 276 comments This list is REALL y making me want to read some of these books-especially the one with Ruby Oliver! I like Carmen, too! Am totally bummed out that there was a 5th book and it was bad. Grrrr.
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!


message 32: by Heidi (new)

Heidi | 6961 comments Mod
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.


*b*l*u*e*m*o*o*n* | 986 comments Mod
Here is my list in no particular order:

1. Luna Lovegood - Harry Potter Series
2. Katniss Everdeen - Hunger Games Trilogy

Tommy Hancock (tommyhancock) | 440 comments Can I go by casts of characters I'd like to integrate with? I'm gonna. I'm gonna do it. If it's not okay let me know and I'll try to go single character, but it's so haaaaard. Also, assume I'm the general age of said casts haha.

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.


message 36: by Tommy (new)

Tommy Hancock (tommyhancock) | 440 comments Okay, going for single characters.

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

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 :)


message 39: by Heidi (new)

Heidi | 6961 comments Mod
Manchee!!!!!

Sam in Hold Me Closer and Samwise from LOTR are both great sick kicks and friend choices!

Thanks, Heidi!


message 42: by [deleted user] (new)

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!

Heidi | 6961 comments Mod
Yes Shannen! The Lunar Chronicles are awesome. I gave the 3rd book 5 stars, which for me rarely ever happens.

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 :)


*b*l*u*e*m*o*o*n* | 986 comments Mod
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.


Donna (BookDragonGirl) (bookdragongirl) 1. Adele from The Dwellers series
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
