LITERARY ADDICTS Weekly Wednesday Meme: Which Character Would YOU Be?
Our meme for this week is: Which fictional book character would you like to be?
You can’t just jump namby-pamby into this. You really must stop and consider. For instance, if I were to choose to be Scarlett O’Hara, I’d have to live through the Civil War. . .you remember, when she had to flee burning Atlanta and then work herself half to death to support her starving family on Tara? After seeing some of the most horrific sights of war? No, thanks. I guess I could be Scarlett before the war, but she wasn’t a very nice person then.
Come to think of it, she wasn’t a very nice person afterward, either. Okay, scratch Scarlett.
I’m going to be realistic and say my choice has to be someone in the modern era. You know, where indoor plumbing is already an accepted fact of life in Western civilization.
I wouldn’t mind being Gwen Sparks from the Stephanie Nelson series of that name, as long as that meant I got to hang around with Dorian. Or I could definitely take being Selene in the Easy Bake Coven series by Liz Schulte. Only because I could keep an on Cheney. And I would easily step into the shoes of Jill from Olivia Hardin’s Bend-Bite-Shift books. Being Doc’s one true love? Ooooh la la!
Or I guess I would happily be Stephanie Plum. After all, she gets to be with both Joe Morelli and Ranger, she lives in Jersey, which I totally get, and she has a mom who cooks for her. Plus Rex, her hampster.
But only until they start shooting at her or blowing up cars. Then all bets are off.
