Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish
This week's topic was actually Top Ten Characters Who Remind Me Of Myself Or Someone I Know In Real Life, but that would take me way too long and I don't think I could come up with anywhere close to ten. So I'm going to follow Abbi's example and do:

I realized when searching for my past posts about Karl May that several of these characters also appear on my Top Ten Favorite Characters list. :-) Here's another post I wrote mentioning Old Shatterhand, Old Surehand and Karl May.
Thanks for stealing! (Not a phase you hear everyday!) Glad you did this too! I think I'll join you in visiting Robin Hood & Marion, Alex and the Duke, the Narnia characters, and of course the Donovans! I am now really in the mood to reread that series once again. I've read them at least 4-5 times already but they never get old!
ReplyDeleteThank you for letting me steal. :-) Though since you've given permission I guess it isn't stealing anymore. Maybe we'll end up reading that series at the same time. It's been a couple months since I reread any Lori Wick. My favorite is Bamboo & Lace and The Princess. Still hoping I find those at a book sale one day.
DeleteLOL Abbi for the stealing comment, you're adorable!
ReplyDeleteGreat list, Rina! I have not read several of these books, do the movie versions count? I definitely agree with the characters from Narnia :) I would also add the characters from The Guy I'm Not Dating by Trish Perry (sooooo funny) and Mine is the Night by Liz Curtis Higgs. And I would include the main characters from Left Behind because while I read that series, they felt like real people to me :) Blessings!!
:) I try!

DeleteThanks Kara! Sure the movie versions count. Although of course books are better. I haven't heard of the Perry book, I'll have to look it up. Mine is the Night (bk2) and Here Burns My Candle (bk1) are quite good. I was over half way through the first one before I realized it was like the story of Ruth. :-) The second is my favorite of the two.
