Top Ten Tuesday: Characters I Am Thankful For

This Top Ten Tuesday focuses on characters we are most thankful for. Here are my some of favorites:

1.  Scout from To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee - "Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing."

2.  Belly from Summer series by Jenny Han - “For me, it was almost like winter didn’t count. Summer was what mattered. My whole life was measured in summers.” 

3.  Jamie Fraser from Outlander by Diana Gabaldon - “When the day shall come that we do part," he said softly, and turned to look at me, "if my last words are not 'I love you'-ye'll ken it was because I didna have time.” 

4.  Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins - "No one will forget me. Not my look, not my name. Katniss. The girl who was on fire."

5.  Hermione Granger from Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling  -  "Books! And cleverness! There are more important things! — Friendship! And Bravery!"

6.  Elizabeth Woodville from the Cousins' War series by Philippa Gregory - “The law is what powerful men say it shall be.”

7.  Scarlet O'Hara from Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell -  "If I have to lie, steal, cheat or kill as God as my witness I'll never be hungry again."

8.  Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery - “It's been my experience that you can nearly always enjoy things if you make up your mind firmly that you will.” 

9.  Mr. Darcy from Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen - “You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.” 

10.  Claire Fraser from Outlander by Diana Gabaldon - “I stood still, vision blurring, and in that moment, I heard my heart break. It was a small, clean sound, like the snapping of a flower's stem.”
