Today I'm linking up with Top Ten Tuesday hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl which is all about lists. Since lists are one of my favorite things this is one of my favorite linkups! Today's topic is Ten Characters I Wish Were Real. I read a lot of mysteries so most of the characters I interact with fictionally aren't always the best people but there were still a few that I wouldn't mind knowing in real life.
1. Meg Langslow and Family from the Donna Andrews cozy mystery series- I don't think I want to be a close friend or even an acquaintance as they tend to be murdered or suspected of murder but I would love to visit any event Meg's mom organizes, buy some of Meg's ironwork or visit the zoo run by her grandfather.
2. Phee and the Book Club Ladies from J.C. Eaton's Booked 4 Murder series - I would love to hear Phee's everyday stories involving her mother and the rest of the crew.
3. Dolly and Stewart from Dolly All the Time by Annabel Monaghan - They were both just such lovely people I'd love for them to actually exist.
4. Jane Marple from Agatha Christie's Miss Marple series - I would love to sit next to her on the veranda of some beachside resort. Her observations and stories would be amazing. I would even learn how to knit for that!
5. Evelyn Sharpe from The Reimagining of Thornwood House by Jaleigh Johnson - I really want to visit a sentient building and this is my favorite one at the moment and Evelyn seems absolutely lovely with a good dash of brains and grit.
6. Mrs. Pollifax from the Mrs. Pollifax series by Dorothy Gilman - How many people can you get both gardening tips AND spy stories from?
7. Pretty much every character Heather Webber has ever written - I love pretty much all her characters and would love to live - or at least visit - some of her worlds.
8. Sonya MacTavish from the Seven Brides trilogy by Nora Roberts - I liked Sonya fine but I would 100% be using her to explore that house!
9. Jessica Fletcher from the Murder, She Wrote series both in book and TV form - Again, I'm not sure I'd like to even be an acquaintance as the chances of being murdered or accused of murder are very high but I would like to hear all the gossip about what she's doing and I would definitely pick up her books.
10. Molly Kimball from The Cambridge Bookshop series by Elizabeth Penney - This is another place more than person. Molly seems nice but I really just want to visit the bookstore.
What characters from fiction do you wish were real?
