Top Ten Literary Animal Friends

Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic (hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl) was listed as 'Relationship Freebie'. I went with Top Ten Literary Animal Friends.


1. Despereaux - from the The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo

2. Black Beauty - from Black Beauty by Anna Sewell

3. Manchee - from The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness

4. Buck - from The Call of the Wild by Jack London

5. Hedwig - from Harry Potter by JK Rowling

6. Athansor - from Winter's Tale by Mark Helprin

7. Ned - from Castaways of the Flying Dutchman by Brian Jacques

8. Rosie - from Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen

9. Richard Parker - from Life of Pi by Yann Martel

10. Jaws - from Jaws by Peter Benchley. (Okay, so this fish didn't make many friends but how cool would it be to have a shark friend. You'd have a swimming buddy for life, and someone to feed your enemies to...)

Do you have any favorite animal characters?

      I definitely think that's exactly how a dog would talk.

    I am still flabbergasted that I messed the topics up like that! Lol. I even had a list of relationships I liked best from books! LOL. Oh well, that will be next week's topic I guess!

    Thanks for visiting my TTT!

      It happens, but you're ahead of the game if you knew which posts were made of the most 'you'. I don't know where to start.

      That was a lot of magic in a book that wasn't fantasy, and the plot twist at the end was great!

    Interesting to see some posts about animals. I'm not a big fan of them, so I went a totally different way. But you found a great variety. And I only read one of your books but didn't like it. Not because of the animal because elephants are my favourites.

    Thank you for visiting my post.

The Sunday Post

   Happy Sunday! Welcome to my Sunday Post, a weekly blog news meme hosted by  caffeinatedbookreviewer . My blog is on the small side, so I decided I'll only be posting the first Sunday of each month and I hope you'll join me. The month of February has been eventful. I've had some wild weather in my neck of the woods: real feel listed as 11 degrees one day, switching to 60s and endless rain, and then to dry windstorms that brought trees down. I successfully managed not to freeze, drown, or fly. I became an aunt to a beautiful niece, who just narrowly escaped being a leap year baby, and I'm pretty excited about her arrival. My Kindle Touch was finally lost to the ravages of time but was replaced swiftly with a Kindle Paperwhite. I also reviewed the following stories: Lethal White by Robet Galbraith Training Strategies for Dressage Riders by Charles de Kunffy What Feasts at Night by T.Kingfisher (just released!) Troubled Blood by Robert Galbraith I originally planned to

Top Ten Things On My Bookish Bucket List

Image
My picks for the Tuesday Top Ten, as invented by  The Broke and Bookish . Today's theme, the Top Ten Things On My Bookish Bucket List ( could be blogging related, book related etc. -- meeting authors, reading x many books per year, finishing a daunting book, etc .) made me have to think. I suppose finishing  my To-be-read-list, an improbable task, because the list keeps growing. I would love to meet JK Rowling...but I think I'd panic, forget what to ask/say her, and just stare at her and make her uncomfortable. I'd also like to meet John Ajvide Lindqvist because he made me love horror. I want to read Watership Down and Jurassic Park ...but for some odd reason I keep putting them off. I would like to have my copy of Miss Peregrine's School for Peculiars, signed. I'd like to have at least one of my own stories published... ...and see it on a Best-seller list ;-) I want to know how the Kingkiller Chronicles ends, which mean Patrick Rothfuss would have to

Top Ten Worlds I'd Never Want to Live In

Image
Today's topic was listed as Love Freebie   hosted by  That Artsy Reader Girl ,  but I couldn't think of anything romantic, so I picked the Top Ten Worlds I'd Never Want to Live In . In a book, you can go anywhere, do anything, meet anyone... But not every captivating story has a pleasant setting. It's one thing to imagine a world, it's entirely another to actually go there. 1. Arrakis, from Dune by Frank Herbert.  It's too effing hot! Too much sun, too much sand, too much sweat. If the heat doesn't kill you, the sand-worms might... 2. Purgatory-Golf Course, from I Am Behind You by John Ajvide Lindqvist . It's got never-ending blue skies and green grass, what's not to love? I'm just resistant to the idea of a place with no food, no water, no sun... A place where the sins of your past will haunt you until you bleed. 3. Hollywood & Church of Scientology, from Leah Remini's Troublemaker. These are two locations that actually exist in the
