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- characters that remind me of myself

Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday! This is a weekly meme where readers discuss ten or whatever number you would like to have based on a prompt. Our host is Jana at  thatartsyreadergirl . Our topic this week is Characters Like Myself. I am going to take a two words that each character has in in my opinion,  and discuss how that relates to me  as well. 1- Cather Avery from Fangirl Writer- At her core, Cath is a writer, and she loves her stories. I am a writer of both Fan Fiction and original stories like Cath so this was an automatic in for this. Both of us love our work and we tend to through ourselves whole hardheartedly into our work. Sisters- I might have mentioned this on the blog before but I have a younger sister and we’re only roughly 18 months a part. Cath and her twin sister Wren are polar  opposites and this is me and my sister. My younger sister is an extrovert and into science. I on the other hand,  am an introverted creative bookworm.  ...

Top Ten Tuesday - Unpopular Bookish opinions

Welcome Back! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by  thatartsyreadergirl . This week the top is unpopular bookish opinions, was submitted by Kaitlin Galvan at  somehowimanageablog . I don't think I have that many unpopular opinions, but We'll see if I can get to ten. I do not mean this to be a personal attack. I know some of these will get into beloved areas of book community, so take these as just my opinions. 1- I have only read one Harry Potter book, and will probably never read the rest. Yes, I know how odd this makes me sound. I was a Twilight kid, and I preferred those over Harry Potter. I have see all the movies, and I want to read Fantastic Beast, as I believe I will love that world and those characters more. 2- I hate mystery and horror novels. I know how odd this might sound to some people. I'm just not a fan because they creep me out and I am more skittish than most people. This is a beloved genre, so I think this is an Unpopular opinion? The exception to thi...
