T5W: Favorite Minor Characters

For this week's Top 5 Wednesday topic is Favorite Minor Characters. Minor characters are less than a sidekick or a side character (but not in our hearts!) Everyone will have a different definition of what makes a minor vs. a side character.


These are those characters that I wish had more part in their stories...

1. Rue - Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins: Rue was only in the series for the first book, but was one of my favorite characters. She was everyone's sister. I loved all that she stood for and the way her and Katniss developed their relationship.
2. Daito and Shoto - Ready Player One by Ernest Cline: Brothers in the book, both Daito and Shoto assist in finding the keys to the Halliday's easter egg. I loved their quirkiness and involvement throughout the book. I am beyond excited for the movie that comes out on March 30, 2018.
3. Emmitt Cullen - Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer: Emmitt is such a great brother character. Always joking with everyone and being there for everyone really showed how much of a family man he was. He always watched out for everyone else and seemed to be a big teddy bear of sorts.
4. Luna Lovegood - Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling: Luna is such a fun and goofy character. I loved her individuality throughout the book. Although we don't see her a lot through the series, I feel her role is pretty important to the overall story.
5. Julian Jacos - Red Queen Trilogy by Victoria Aveyard: Julian was a beloved father figure for Mare. I enjoyed his kindness and loving nature, even with his apparent hidden messages. I'd love to see more characters like him.

T5W - Books as Event Themes

This week's #T5W topic is Books as Event Themes. It's party season, whether that is high school prom, weddings, or summer holiday events. What books would make a good party/event theme??

For more information on Top 5 Wednesdays, see my original post.

1. Harry Potter - J.K. Rowling : I think any party with a HP theme would be amazing. I plan to do this with a child I have, when I get to that point in my life haha.
2. Where the Wild Things Are - Maurice Sendak : Always a classic children's book. This would make a wonderful children's birthday party theme!
3. The Selection - Kiera Cass : Now this might sound strange, but when I read this series I thought of wedding gowns being worn all of the time. So more so just the idea of wedding gowns.
4. Inheart - Cornelia Funke : Of course the love of books makes me want to have a party about books! I love the idea of reading characters out of the book. I think a birthday party with all different characters and books everywhere would be splendid.
5. Chronicles of Narnia - C.S. Lewis : I love the world of Narnia! This would be so fun to host a party/gathering or a birthday party. I would really rather find Narnia myself sometime!
