Before I get to the book blogger hop, I want to announce the winner of my giveaway....
Tayte Hunter who chose Social Suicide! Congratulations! I've e-mailed you.
The Book Blogger Hop is hosted by Jen at Crazy For Books that allows us book bloggers to answer a question every week. I love this meme, because it allows me to get to know other bloggers better. Plus, I like talking about myself.
This week's question:
Who is your favorite book character? I'll give you a maximum of two choices, but they have to be from different genres.
I love this week's question because it once again allows me to talk about The Scorpio Races some more. I'm going to cheat a little, because the Scorpio Races is told in dual narration and I love both Puck Connolly and Sean Kendrick. Puck is brave and loving and loyal. She knows what she wants and she is content when she has it. She understands how to be happy. I have never wanted to be a character so bad as I want to be Puck Connolly. Sean is quiet and strong and steady. He loves less easily than Puck, but just as intensely and I totally want to fall in love with someone who is just as passionate as Sean.
Choice two will have to be Claudia from From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, because I think she was the first character I ever wished I could be. She's awesome. She ran away from home and lived in a museum. She is self-reliant and curious and smart. I still kind of want to be her.

I love Claudia. I haven't read my copy of The Scorpio Races yet, but I'd like to get to know Puck and Sean.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Tayte.
When I saw this question I KNEW you were going to pick from The Scorpio Races. In fact that was my thought when I read the question last week. It wasn't "hmmmm who I am going to pick?" it was "Steph is going to choose from the Scorpio Races" ;)
ReplyDeleteI haven't thought about The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler in soooooo long. Great choice!
I can't wait to read the Scorpio Races!
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend :)

I remember read TMUFOMBEF and thinking how awesome it would be to live in a museum.
ReplyDeleteI swear I'm going to get to The Scorpio Races soon. I promise!
Wow, this is a hard question! There are so many characters I love, and I'm sure I'd forget some! I need to read The Scorpio Races soon! Hope you're having a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThe Scorpio Races is on my reading list and now I just have to read it! Thanks for visiting My Bookshelf! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteOkay, okay, I will read Scorpio Races, it's the least I can do since you're sleeping with my book boyfriend, Odd Thomas! ;)
ReplyDeleteI love Mixed-Up Files! And Claudia is totally a rockin narrator! I wanted to bathe in a fountain and gather coins after reading that book. Haha :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read Scorpio Races this summer. It's on my to-read list but I've been waiting until I have time to savor it. I love Maggie Stiefvater. :)
