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 Books I Was Assigned to Read in School

Today's Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by ThatArtsyReaderGirl , is all about Books I Was Assigned to Read in School. I've been a lifelong avid reader, but I was always that student that once a story was assigned, I was unlikely to want to read it. Like accidental reverse psychology, I can count on one hand the number of books assigned that I actually liked... three of which made today's list. 1. Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck - I've read 2 Steinbeck novels, this one, and The Red Pony  and I hated them both. I don't get the fascination with him. 2. Animal Farm by George Orwell - This is about communist pigs, if you like that sort of thing which I didn't. 3. The Outsiders by SE Hinton - I know a lot of people absolutely love this book, I'm just not one of them. 4. The Yearling by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings - I was too young to be reading a story this upsetting. 5. Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls - This was also upsetting. 6. The Eye in the Door by Pat ...
