Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme run by The Broke and the Bookish. This week the topic is Top Ten Characters I Would Want With Me On A Deserted Island, and we can put whatever spin on the topic we'd like.
I love the topic this week. I’m not sure exactly how to approach it, I mean, should I be all practical and go with survival skills? Or should I just do for yummy character-candy? Maybe both? Sounds good to me!
This list isn’t in any particular order, and the links are to each books Goodreads page.
Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark
The Hunger Games trilogy by Susan Collins
It might be a little cruel to dump these two on a deserted island after everything that’s happened, but since it’s my list, we’ll go with it.
It’s common knowledge Katniss is good with a bow, and has lots of survival skills and Peeta is, well, Peeta! On the practical side, he’s an excellent people person, and I could see him being the diplomatic one, bringing everyone together.
On a less than practical note, Katniss and Peeta are two of my three favourite characters from The Hunger Games, (Finnick being the other) and I’d love to see more of their stories.
Roar
Under the Never Sky trilogy by Veronica Rossi
Mmmm Roar. Now, this might be a slightly selfish inclusion in my list, and I’m totally not sorry about it. What’s not to love about Roar? He’s funny, loyal, and has superhuman hearing so he can tell us when the boat to get us off the island arrives. Plus he has survival skills to boot. And yes, I’ve got dibs on him, you have been warned!
Perry Palomino and Dex Foray
Experiment in Terror series by Karina Halle
I’ve got to include these two on my island. Perry is one of my favourite female characters, and she’d definitely be a best friend of mine in real life. And Dex, oh how I love Dex. The ghost stories these two would be able to tell around the fire would be epic!
Daemon Black
Lux series by Jennifer L. Armentrout
He’s an alien light bulb: nice and practical if you’re stuck in the middle of an ocean with no lights or electricity. Joking aside, he's an amazing, yet infuriating character that you can't help but love.
Gilley Gillespie
Ghost Hunter Mystery series by Victoria Laurie
The comedy element. I would absolutely love to see Gilley’s reaction when he’d find out he was stuck on a deserted island. Priceless!
Kellan Kyle
Thoughtless trilogy by S.C. Stephens
And the eye candy. Plus he sings, so he could keep us all entertained in exchange for food. (Ok, maybe that last part is a bit cruel. I wouldn’t be that mean. Mostly.)
Vera Miles
Love, In English by Karina Halle
More sisterhood. Vera would be similar to Perry above, I could picture her being a close friend of mine. Plus, her music tastes are excellent: instant-frienship right there!
Raffe
Penryn and the End of Days series by Susan Ee
The escape plan. He’s an angel… probably cheating to include him on the list, eh? But, if we find out we can’t survive on the island – or if everyone starts trying to kill each other – he could fly us to civilisation!
Katniss is on my list this week too. I'd definitely need her skills. You've got some great choices!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, Katniss is definitely a must have! I'd be in serious trouble without someone like her. Thanks Chrissi :)
DeleteGreat list Alma! I refused to let my son put Katniss on our list because she's so glum. We took Finnick instead...plus he's hot. :) I almost had Daemon on my list as well, but he didn't quite make the cut! lol Hope you have a fantastic week!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT
Ohhh yes, Finnick *drools*. I almost included him on my list, but I ended up going with Katniss and Peeta. Thanks for stopping by Kristalyn! :D
DeleteYay Daemon! He was on my list too! I mean, how can he not be?! Gillie! I love that guy too! He'd be a sight to see trapped on a deserted island! Oh the horror!! Great picks!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
Love Daemon! I manage to find some way to include him in most of the lists I create :D And Gilley, he'd be a mess, but it would be so entertaining to see his reaction, poor guy! LOL =)
DeleteSee, I picked Perry. Totally for selfish reasons. But, if I was being smart, I would have totally picked Roar. He was one of my favourite characters from that series, and he would be perfect eye candy too. I also had Peeta and Katniss, I think they would both be brilliant in a desert island situation. Here's my TTT.
ReplyDeleteHumm, Perry would be a fantastic choice as well as Roar. I don't know why I overlooked him in honesty. Come to think of it, he'd be able to hunt with Katniss (even though I'd could imagine that wouldn't end well!) Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteOhh do, try to start Angelfall ASAP! It's absolutely amazing - then I'm probably a little biased, I loved it =) The Lux series might be a little more hit or miss, but I do love it too. Definitely worth giving them a go!
