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.

    You mean Orpheus didn't come from the Matrix movies? It is a good name for a pet. https://pmprescott.blogspot.com/2020/11/ttt-111720.html

    I love all these names, but I especially love the ones from Greek mythology. Now I'm wishing I had chosen Hecate in my post. Doesn't she have a catty feel?

    Greek mythology names are the actual best!

    I think all of these would be great cat names, especially Simon and Molly. :)

Top Ten Tuesday- Holiday / Seasonal Freebie- Memorable characters of 2020

  Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana  @thatartsyreadergirl . This meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. Every week, Jana will post a topic, and we book bloggers will post a reply to the topic. This week, it's a seasonal / winter freebie. I kind of went rogue in a way. In the winter you see the end of the year best-of lists, and that's exactly what I did with this post. You will find subsections to indicate the genre each book is in.  YA Contemporary 1- Pepper from Tweet Cute by Emma Lord Tweet Cute was a novel I read in September. I fell hard for the major character, Pepper. She was so sweet, and she wanted so much to lice her own life.  As a bonus, she baked, and I seem to really love characters who bake. Pepper made this list because she wanted to live her own life for her, and I really admire that quality in a person. 2- Sophie from 10 Blind Dates by Ashley Elston I’m in the middle of this book right now, but I ...

Top Ten Tuesday –Favorite Couples (Valentine’s Day /Love Freebie)

  Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana @ thatartsyreadergirl. . This meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. I love doing this meme because it gives me a chance to bond with other bloggers. Every week, Jana will post a topic, and we bloggers will make a post with our list on the topic, or a different one. This week it was Valentines / Love, so I wanted to do a post on favorite couples. I may have done a similar post last year, but I know that there are some new couples on this list.  1- Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy- Pride & Prejudice   This is the only classic couple on this list. I enjoy their relationship because the two characters have little in common, and yet by the end of the novel, they make it work. As you read Pride & Prejudice, you get to see these two find the love each of them was missing. 2- Cath and Levi–Fangirl One of my favorite YA novels needed to appear on this list. I love Cath and Levi becau...

Top Ten Tuesday - Top Ten Historical

Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday! Our Host is Jana @thatartsyreadergirl . Every week, readers gather and respond to the topic of  the week. This week, we are talking about Top Ten Books in our favorite genre. I love The Classics, YA of all kinds minus Horror and Mystery, and Historical. I choose Historical as I talk about Classics and YA a lot on this blog. These are in no order, just as they came to me. 1- Romanov  by Nadine Brandes I read this Anastasia retelling in nineteen days when it came out. I loved this book so much! About half the novel was the Romanov’s in exile, and their life in a house where they couldn’t do that much. As the story progresses, we see that Nastya is a spell master, so this is how Fantasy is sprinkled in with the Historical Fiction to tell a new story. I loved all aspects of this novel, even the ones that were sad, and almost caused me to throw this book across the room. I will review this book later on this month. I recommend this for any...
