RTW and Save The Last Dance For Me

This week's Road Trip Wednesday:

What supporting character from a YA book would you most like to see star in their own novel?
 
     Ooh, that's a toughie. On YaHighway, the poster chose Ron from Harry Potter and I immediately wanted to go with the same one. Because c'mon, Ron is awesome. But I'll try to be a little more interesting and come up with my own idea...
     There's a lot of characters I'd like to see star in their own novel because frankly, I love them and I'd love to learn their backstory more thoroughly or read about where they go next. I can't pick just one. So, my choices after perusing my bookshelf are:


Etienne St. Clair from Anna and the French Kiss.


Giovanni from Rampant and Ascendant


Ridley from Beautiful Creatures and Beautiful Darkness


And even though some of Breaking Dawn is in Jacob's perspective, I loved his voice so much that I would easily read whole books about him.


And on to my 30 Day Music Challenge, Day 3: A Song That Makes Me HAPPY
     Easy peasy. Actually, not so much because there are A LOT of songs that make me happy. It's hard to choose sometimes right?
    Anyway, I loved this song back when Harry Connick Jr sang it. I love it even more when Michael Buble sings it. It makes me happy. It makes me sing along. And it makes me want to dance (but that's a question for another day). I wish I was the girl dancing with Michael in the music video. I don't know what it is about it but I SMILE when I hear it.
     And I had a wicked story set around it which will probably never get written but hey, you never know.

  4. Oh Etienne - to hear about his dismal middle school days in California! To get her perspective on the hat! I would be delighted...

  6. Jacob is a good choice. I haven't read any of the other books, but it sounds like people like Etienne.
