Top Ten Tuesday is an original blog meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s topic: “Top Ten Characters You’d Like To Check In With (meaning, the book or series is over and you so just wish you could peek in on the “life” you imagine they are leading years down the line after the story ends).” This topic actually has the potential to be a little spoilery, so I’ll be sure not to mention too much about these books if you haven’t read them.
Ten Characters I’d Love Updates On:
1. Harry Potter: anyone and everyone please (yes, this is cheating!). I need to know how the wizarding world fares right now.
2. The Hunger Games: Peeta Mellark. How is my boy doing?
3. Pride and Prejudice: Elizabeth Darcy. Yes, I said it. Give me news!
4. Fire and Thorns: Elisa. This is one amazing character who I wish I could hear more about. Also, Hector.
5. Chaos Walking: Todd Hewitt. My little Todd is probably all grown up now. I’m so proud.
6. His Fair Assassin: Ismae Rienne. I know I just finished this series not too long ago, but I just love her so much.
7. Heir to Sevenwaters: Clodagh. I feel a very strong connection with her and would love to hear how her life is going.
8. The Catcher in the Rye: Holden Caulfield. I’ve always wondered what became of this one.
9. The Outsiders: Ponyboy Curtis. How’s my Ponyboy? Where did he go after high school? Did he stay gold? I need answers!
10. Shug: Annemarie Wilcox. I worry over this precious child, so if I could find out how she is doing, I’d make me very happy.

An update on Todd Hewitt is something I need in my life especially with how Monsters of Men ended…):

I love the other girls in the series, but I wouldn’t had minded if the series centered around just Ismae. Thank you!

I 100% agree with #1. I would probably read Harry Potter books forever, even if there were a hundred of them. And Ismae as well! Grave Mercy was probably my favorite of the entire series. I still have to continue the Girl of Fire and Thorns series, I’ve only read the first one.
Amazing list!

I’d read HP forever too. Yes, Ismae is the best. Can’t wait to hear what you think of the rest of the Fire and Thorns series!

Todd is an amazing choice! I’d love to see how he’s doing. Also, Harry Potter and his friends/family. That would be great!

I feel like Todd is my child in a way, I watched him grow up reading that series.

Oddly, while I’d quite happily read more about them, I’m quite happy with where we left Katniss and Peeta, so they didn’t quite make my list.
But Todd (& Viola) most definitely! I’d love to see how they are getting on.

That’s understandable. I think the Chaos Walking’s ending wasn’t concrete enough to satisfy everyone, so I’d really like to know more about how everything worked out.

More Elizabeth and Darcy is always welcome, maybe that’s why they keep making adaptations. Thank you!

The Outsiders is genius! Yes I’d definitely want to check back in on those characters. Elizabeth and Darcy would be fun to see together again and I’d love to see how she is as a mother. Do you think she turned into a title obsessed matchmaker for her daughters? Great list!
LikeLike
I have a feeling that Elizabeth would keep her good sense even as a mother. I also have a feeling that she and Darcy would raise very independent children.

Hahahaha oh dear, I cannot even imagine what shennanigans Holden got up to after Catcher in the Rye. To be honest, I couldn’t stand that book because of his antics, in made my inner responsible-type A personality go crazy!

Haha, I can understand that. Holden is quite the mess, but the poor boy had a lot of issues and no one who took the time to see how much he was hurting.

I would love there to be more from Pride and Prejudice. My one complaint with Jane Austen novels is that there is so little time spent with the characters once they get together!
