Top Ten Tuesday is an original blog meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s topic: ” Top Ten Characters You Wish Would Get Their OWN Book (minor or just maybe a semi main character you wish a book was from their POV).” This is going to be so much fun, but when I’m finished, I have a feeling I’m going to be sad that these books don’t actually exist.
Ten Characters Who Deserve Their Own Books:
1. The Marauders: James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter. How awesome would it be if J. K. Rowling were to write a seven-book series on these four? The possibilities are endless! And I for one would really like to see Lily tear into James for being mean to Severus.
2. Teddy Lupin. Can’t write me a seven-book series based on the Marauders? I’d settle for a seven-book series featuring Tonks and Lupin’s only child.
3. Widget from The Night Circus. I think my favorite character from The Night Circus definitely deserves a book of his own.
4. Dustfinger from Inkheart. I want to know exactly how he spent all that time in our world.
5. The Gray Man from The Dream Thieves. I find this character to be fascinating and would love it if he got his own book full of backstory to explain how he became a hitman.
6. Manon from Heir of Fire. Yes, she’s not exactly “good” but she’s super awesome nontheless. Give me a Manon book any day.
7. Nehemia from the Throne of Glass series. Give this girl her own book now, Sarah J. Maas! Too demanding?
8. Phin Goodnight from Texas Gothic. A book on Amy’s sister investigating paranormal activity? Count me in.
9. Peeta Mellark from The Hunger Games. I think it would be fascinating to read this series from Peeta’s perspective.
10. Mayor Prentiss. Don’t get me wrong, I hate this guy, but I would love to see how he came into power during the years before this series starts. And, of course, I want to know the origin of “I am the circle and the circle is me.”
Which characters would you love to see get their own books?
I have Teddy Lupin on my list this week too! (The second generation glimpsed in the epilogue FASCINATES me!) Also, someone else who’s read Texas Gothic! I almost had Phin on my list as well, I love how she merges science and magic and doesn’t care what others think of her or her passions.

I love Phin and when I heard there was a second book, I thought for sure it was going to be about her. She’s a little strange but it’s a good kind of strange.

Yeah I was excited but then the book turned out to be more of a “spinoff” about their cousin more than the sisters 😦

I have about a billion Harry Potter characters on my list too :P. None of the ones you chose though!

We should just have J. K. Rowling write a book for each minor character. They we could all die happy.

Great list! I have Harry Potter on my list too, but I included it for Hermione. Here’s my TTT. Happy reading!

I would surely read a Hermione centered book!

I’m afraid it will never happen, but we fans can hope to ever see a series about the Marauders. I would probably cry from happiness if that were to become a thing. And Teddy as well!
The Gray Man is such a mysterious character: I wouldn’t know what to expect from a story through his eyes. But I’d love to find out.
I agree with Nehemia too: there just seems to be something about her. I don’t know Manon, I haven’t read Heir of Fire yet unfortunately.
I think everyone wants to read a story from Peeta’s POV. It would be a hype immediately!

I couldn’t agree more about the HP characters! I would be BEYOND happy if JK Rowling just kept publish HP books for the rest of her career. And I also included Widget (and Poppet and Bailey) in my list! I want to know everything about them!
