[Top Ten Tuesday] Characters I'd Invite To Thanksgiving Dinner

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish but is currently being run by That Artsy Reader Girl. A prompt is given each week, and I hope to do it every week so I always have something going up on Tuesdays. This week I am talking about some of the characters I'd invite to Thanksgiving dinner! This was such a fun prompt and I really enjoyed thinking of all the characters I love so much. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the US who celebrates! And to everyone else, I hope you're having a good start to Christmas!

Let's dive into my answers!

Odessa & Meredy 

Reign of the Fallen duology by Sarah Glenn Marsh 

Honestly, I'd invite the entire gang to Thanksgiving! But especially Odessa and Meredy because they are one of my top favorite couples in all literature and I love them both. Plus, that means Lysander & Niffler would come. and  I love them. I used the Song of the Dead cover instead of Reign of the Fallen for two reasons. 1. Their relationship is more prominent in Song of the Dead. 2. I think EVERYONE needs to read Reign if you haven't yet, and then preorder Song of the Dead (Out January 2019).

The Golden Trio, The Silver Trio, the Weasleys, etc
Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling

This is one I expect to see online a lot. The Harry Potter cast is already some of our closest friends, and I know I am speaking for myself here but they were there for me during my entire childhood. Of course I'd want them at my Thanksgiving dinner. Granted, they're all British so they may not really get it but I doubt they would pass up some free food.

Nikolai Lantsov

Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo

Nikolai is an amazing entertainer. We meet him in this book, the second book of the Grishaverse series, and he is so charming. I feel like he would make sure that the conversation and party was always in good spirits. He is good at mulling things over and keeping people comfortable and happy. I think someone like Nikolai is essential.

Willowdean Dickson & Millie Michalchuk 
Puddin' by Julie Murphy

I love Millie and Willowdean SO much and I think they would be fantastic guests. Millie is a planner, crafter, and a sunny person so like Nikolai, she would keep the conversation civil and happy. Millie doesn't like confrontation so she will make sure everyone is happy. But she also would make amazing crafty decorations. Willowdean is a no-nonsense woman who does not take anyone's crap so I think we need some people like that to make sure our sensitive guests like Millie are protected.

Molly Peskin-Suso 
The Upside of Unrequited by Becky Albertalli

Like Millie, Molly is a crafty lady so I think having both of them as guests would be perfect and the decorations would be completely handled by both of them. Plus, I would beg Molly to bring her edible cookie dough because I know for a fact my fiancé would die of happiness because he loves cookie dough. I also think Millie and Molly would get along so well.

Lady Catherine Pinkerton 
Heartless by Marissa Meyer

Cath is an amazing baker and cook, so not only would I love her company but I want to try all of her cooking creations. Heartless is one of my favorite books and I love Cath so much so I think she would be such a fun person to have as a guest. I wouldn't even mind if she brought along Jest, the Hatter, and everyone else. They seem like a blast.

Rapunzel and Flynn

Rapunzel and the Lost Lagoon by Leila Howland

I love Rapunzel, and I think she would be such an amazing guest. She is lively and fun and after being locked in a tower for eighteen years she needs to go to all the parties and dinners possible. She deserves more friends and more love. Plus I love her and Flynn so much.

Faith 
Faith Comics by Jodi Houser (Valiant Comics)

Faith is my favorite superhero so I of course would love to invite her. Plus, if something goes wrong or some sort of evil person tries to ruin our dinner Faith will be there to help save the day!

Veronica Mars 
Mr. Kiss and Tell by Rob Thomas

I love Veronica, so so so much. I cannot wait for the new episodes and it's one of my absolute favorite shows. I love the book too! I haven't read the second one but I am hoping to soon! I think Veronica is super endearing despite being a bit sarcastic and sassy. I think she's such a good friend and a good person who just wants to help. I'd love for her to bring her dad, Wallace, Mac, Logan, and hell even Dick.

The Carter Family 

The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas 

I love Starr and her family so much. I think they're so funny and heartwarming. The relationships Starr has with her parents and siblings are really sweet. Plus I bet they'd bring such amazing food. I know it seems like I have picked most of my guests based off the food and decorations they would bring but honestly I love them all so much. I think Starr is a character I find incredibly brave and I would love to just hug her and have a meal with her and her family.

Thanks for reading!
