I thought, maybe we could share our reading experiences in talking about our favourite characters.
I doesn't matter from which book or what kind of character.


Here are some of mine:

▪Luna Lovegood (Harry Potter)
Probably one of the most heartwarming personality in Harry Potter history. The way she talks, the way she dresses, the way she thinks is just overwhelming.
I never felt such a strong bond to a book character

▪Chiyo (The Geisha)
The main character of my favourite book.
Born as a poor fisher's daughter she makes her way to fame as a Geisha just because she loves a man.
Sounds silly. But its epic.
Chiyo (her Geisha name is Sayuri) is such a strong yet vulnerable child that made me laugh and cry during my time when I read the book.

▪The Baudelaires (A Series of Unfortunate Events)
The Baudelaire siblings Violet, Klaus and Sunny are probably the best main characters you can find in a book.
Clever, sarcastic, loving and caring.
Their destiny is a hard one and the 13 gothic-esque books are full of sad encounters and fatal casualties.
But they never start to lose their hope.

^This. I've read those books so many times. Violet is my favorite. ASOUE has been my favorite series since 2000 when we had them in school. A few years later I picked up the movie and the rest of the series as time went on and haven't looked back. Only series I've pestered to spend 100 dollars for the complete box set and the Audio Books (Just for Tim Curry's voice <3) and PS2/PC game and the Tragic Treasury. I'll stop now..

And Nymphadora Tonks. To be honest I'm picky about my books because most of the time I could care less about who I'm reading about. Some stick to me though.

I agree. They are my only faves.

The Baudelaires made me cry in the last book.

A happy end in ASOUE?
So amazing <3

I WANT to read A Series of Unfortunate Events. HOW can it be so difficult to find these books in Brazil? I've searched EVERYWHERE! I think I'll just order them through the internet. But first I need to get some money =.=

Well, Harry Potter, he just grew up with me. Second the Doctor's Wife in Jose Saramago's novels Blindness and Seeing. There's a movie about the Blindness book, and you might have seen it. He is Portuguese, so that's why you probably haven't heard of him, though he's just like, world-widely famous. It's sad though, how the Doctor's Wife lives all her life in suffering and comes to the end she got, blamed for a crime she didn't comit. I'll admit - I cried at the end of Seeing.

Another one would be Liesel Meminger in Markus Zusak's "The Book Thief". Another sad story, but still, it's nice to see Liesel's life develop ever since she was seven year-old or so, and see as she ages and lives with the secret of protecting a jew in the middle of the Second World War in the nazist Germany. Sad, tragic, and lovely.
