TX3 - Characters I Love & Despise!


The wonderful people over at The Broke and the Bookish posted another Top Ten Tuesday discussion for today, April 22nd, my Top Ten "Characters who X!" Since this is open for creativity I'm going to list off my favorite and not-so-favorite male and female characters. Now obviously there are going to be some that don't make either list, probably because I haven't discovered those characters yet. I know, I know... My top ten are TOTALLY predictable!

FAVORITE FEMALE CHARACTERS:


Hermonie-Harry Potter
Katniss Everdeen-Hunger Games
Beatrice Price-Divergent
Allison Sekemoto-Blood of Eden
Mia-Where She Went

FAVORITE MALE CHARACTERS: 


Harry Potter-DUH!!!
Tobias Eaton-Divergent
Wade Watts-Ready Player One
Finnick Odair - Hunger Games
Adam-Where She Went

CHARACTERS I CAN'T STAND!!!
Please don't kill me... 

Jordan Brooks & Noah Keating-If Only
Alexa Hollen-Defy
Mercy Taylor-The Line
Adam-Shatter Me
Allyson Healey-Just One Day
Gayle-Hunger Games
