Top Ten Tuesday- Pet names taken from books

 Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana @thatartsyreadergirl. This is a weekly meme where book bloggers get together and talk about books based on a prompt. Each week, Jana will post a prompt, and we have a chance to talk about the books we love based on the prompt. This week, our topic is characters I’d name a pet after submitted by Nushu @ Not A Prima Donna Girl. I prefer cats, so all these are names I think would work for a cat.

1- Annabeth from The Percy Jackson series and other books

 

Annabeth is one of my favorite characters from all the series she appears in. From the time I met her in The Lightning Thief, I enjoyed how bold she was, and how she took no prisoners.

2- Eurydice from Never Look Back and Greek Mythology

I’m currently reading Never Look Back, and I’m very much enjoying the character of Eurydice in the novel. As a fan of Greek myth, and the musical Hadestown, I knew that Eurydice would need to appear in this post. I’ve enjoyed her as a character since I met her when I started listening to Hadestown a few years ago. In Never Look Back, she has the kind, shy, and willing to help the ones she loves personality I love. 

3- Simon from The Simon Verse (Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda, Leah on the Offbeat, Love Creekwood, and The Upside of Requited)

I’ve talked a lot about this in the past, but I love Simon, and I knew I needed some more male characters in this post. I love that Simon does theater, and I love his relationship with Bram.

4- Percy from Percy Jackson and other books

I’ve talked a lot about these books in the past, but I love Percy and I knew that I would need to use him for this post. I love how much he cares about others, and how much he will fight for the ones he loves.

5- Feyre from A Court of Thorns and Roses Series

I knew I needed some fantasy in this post, and this is where Feyre comes in. I love this series, and I love how bold she is in the books. She is also a badass in the books.

6- Molly from The Upside of Requited and The American Girl franchise

 

Molly from the Upside of Unrequited is one of my favorite characters not just of 2020, but in every book, I’ve ever read. I love her personality and I relate to her as a character. I added another character because she was my American Girl doll when I was a kid, and I really liked her as a character.

7- Elizabeth from Pride & Prejudice, My Dear Hamilton, and the Alex & Eliza Trilogy

 

I love Pride& Prejudice as a classic novel. Elizabeth is one of my favorite characters in lit, and I love her so much. The other Elizabeth is Eliza from My Dear Hamilton, and Alex & Eliza. I’ve loved Hamilton for years and I love Eliza as a character.

 

8- Orpheus from Never Look Back, and Greek Mythology

 

This is another character from Myth and Never Look Back. I enjoy him as a character, and I love how he cares about Eurydice. He’s also an artist, and I relate to that part of him.

9- Anastasia from Romanov and the Romanov Sisters

 

I love Anastasia so much, and I wanted to include her in this post. I love the musical, and the two books I included in this post. She’s so brave, and I love that about her.

 

10- Alina from The Grisha Trilogy

 

  Alina is another one who I just met late last year, and I read more of early this year. I love Alina because she is a badass, and she is just so much fun to read about in her story.
