One of those days

It's just been one of those days, ya know?

Kinda blah.

No.. make that very blah..  even BooBoo is blah!

I made a "cheap version" of Chicken Soup.. that might help the blahs..

(cheap version just means I like a whole lot more veggies in the soup)

It always helps Boo's blahs..chicken is his most favorite thing in the world!  Which means I will have to pick out pieces of chicken and share my soup with the boo-boy.  

Somehow he always gets more than I do.. I wonder why that is?

*sigh*..

Anyway.. I've seen many blogs doing favorite male and female characters from books, so thought I'd try that and catch you up on the Moorhen chicks tomorrow..

Almost a no brainer huh? I mean, after all, your favorite characters are going to be from your favorite books.. I assume that's what makes them our favorite books!   (what did I just say??  I think I need more coffee!)

Female:

Lessa (The Dragonriders of Pern)

Loved Lessa from the beginning! She survived and at times revenge really is kinds sweet!

Menolly (The Dragonriders of Pern)

Another survivor. She has many traits you would wish for yourself. (and she had great taste in men lol)

Polgara (Belgarian series)

A woman to fear lol.. yet you can't help be drawn to her.  She doesn't put herself "first" but she doesn't neglect herself like most woman. ..for all she gives up.. she gets rewarded in the end. We'd all like to think that could happen to us too.

Professor McGonigall (Harry Potter)

A witch that cares about the children she teaches.  makes one wonder where many real teachers went wrong.

Mary Russell (Laurie R King series)

A female Sherlock Holmes (and the wife of said detective) Very smart lady but not without humor.. this is good.

Margaret Lea (The Thirteenth Tale)

I liked Margaret.  She never gave up.  She found the answers. and she was a better person for it.

Elinor  (Inkheart)

What a fabulous character, so well defined. You watch her go from a recluse to a very adventurous lady.  (to be honest, I thought Maggie Smith would have made a better Elinor in the movie!)

 

Male:

F'lar (The Dragonriders of Pern)

He's a leader I would follow anywhere. He dared to dream and then worked to fulfill his dreams.

Masterharper Robinton (The Dragonriders of Pern)

The quiet hero.  Respected by all.  Loved by just as many. It would be hard NOT to care about this man.

Gandalf (Lord of the Rings)

He needs no words.

Belgarath (Belgarian series)

loved loved loved this character!  So well written.. so easy to know he is always MORE than what he shows.

Raistlin (Dragonlance series)

An unusual choice?  ..because he is a villain?   Is he?  He sure kept my attention through all the books!  So  he maintains a place in my favorite male characters.

Tasslehoff Burrfoot (Dragonlance series)

What  a great character!  A great friend.  Someone who can frustrate you and then make you laugh.  This is a case of the minor character becoming the one  you find hard to forget.

Bartimaeus  (the Bartimaeus trilogy)

Bartimaeus was just too original not to like.  He's a character I would like to see again in another series of books.

Hagrid (Harry Potter)

Who couldn't love  Hagrid?

Ron (Harry Potter)

Just because it HAD to be spiders.  .. it couldn't be "follow the butterflies".  Ron had the best quotes and the best delivery of those quotes. 

Mo (Inkheart)

Who can't feel for a long suffering man?  He's a reluctant hero..and that's always appealing.

Whelp.. I guess that's it for now...
