My first Hug an author post is
here:
Today I'm answering the question:
Which author wrote the character you would want as your best friend? I have two answers for this question. (I have two!)

Deuce from
Enclave by Ann Aguirre. I love that character so much. There are a lot of kick-ass heroines that I adore but she has this vulnerability and honesty that I admire. Deuce can kick freak butt one second but be a normal girl giggling with her friend Tegan the next or figuring out how to talk to a boy. Friendships and loyalty are very important to her but so is doing the right thing. The strength of her convictions in a time where she could fall back to self preservation mode show a rare quality in a person. Deuce would be the perfect best friend whether you're trying to survive the apocalypse, navigating high school or just needing a friend to confide in.

Ciara from the
WVMP Radio Vampire series by Jeri Smith-Ready. She's intelligent and snarky as hell. Loyal almost to a fault (with total disregard to her own safety) Ciara would be a blast to hang out with and she would always have my back no matter what. I'm hoping she wouldn't take offense if I'm ogling her boyfriend Shane who I adore. Scratch that - I won't ogle - Can they BOTH be my best friends?? Shane, a Vampire DJ, can provide the music while we all hang out.
What about you? Who would be your pick?
I have Enclave, but havent read it yet.
ReplyDeleteBut I can say I completely agree w/you about Ciara & Shane!! I would be so bitter/jealous of Ciara for having Shane, if I didn't love her so much. Favorite characters/favorite series!
I would agree with you on Enclave :) still need to meet those other characters
ReplyDeleteCiara and Shane are definitely at the top of my list!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read Enclave yet so I can't speak as to Deuce, but I totally agree with you on Ciara and Shane! I love them both so much!
ReplyDeleteHa! The WVMP Radio Vampire series comes up again, and yet again, I kick myself for not having read it.
ReplyDeleteI'd want to be BFFs with any of Melina Marchetta's characters! They are all beautifully flawed and amazing. :)
