If only we could pick and choose. :)

[Lisarenee]

Darn, I was thinking Gen from The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner, but I don't think he's magical. Dang!

[Mary]

All good guesses, but nope! Lisarenee was on the right track earlier, though.

1. I am a murderer.
2. I have magical abilities.
3. I was not executed for my crime, but I know that I might die soon, for I risk my life daily to protect another's.
4. I was once an acrobat.

[Steven]

Oh oh, it's the Soulfinder.... Ugh I didn't read them but my friend was telling me about them last year and I don't know their names!!!

[Lisarenee]

I was thinking the girl from Poison Study, Yelena.

[Mary]

Yep, Lisarenee. You're right! I tried to pick something most people would have read, but I seem to be bad at this game...

Your turn. :-)

[Steven]

Bah, that's the one she was telling me about! At least I was right even in my lack of detailed knowledge. ;)

Fun game!

[Mary]

Glad you're joining us, Steven! I wish more people would play this one. And I recommend Poison Study, if you like fantasy and YA. I've yet to read the sequels, though.

[Steven]

Added to my perpetually large to-read list! :)

Next one, next one!

[Mary]

Oh, I understand. My list keeps growing and growing and growing and growing...

[Steven]

If only there were some way to get paid a small amount for every page read... I'd quit my job and read all those books! :D

[Mary]

That would be a dream job, definitely! Steven, do you want to take a turn, since Lisarenee's being a slow-poke? ;-)

[Steven]

Sure!!!! Gimme one minute. Gotta come up with a list of clues. Already have a character in mind.

I'll start with:

1. I am the last of my kind.

[Mary]

Hmm. Well, I have no idea if you've read these books, but I'm going to guess Atticus from the Iron Druid Chronicles.

[Steven]

I have not read those, but they've been mentioned a few times on here (I've read back through some) so I'll have to add those too :)

1. I am the last of my kind.
2. My typical clothing, a flowing white dress, reflects my standing.

[Mary]

Another clue? :-D I can't think of anything and it looks like everyone else is MIA.

[Steven]

1. I am the last of my kind.
2. My typical clothing, a flowing white dress, reflects my standing.
3. My entire life entails devotion to my cause -- to reveal truth, no matter the cost.

[Jex]

Kahlan Amnell who's a confessor from Sword of Truth series? (I've only seen the tv show not read the books :-P )

Edit: I guess she doesn't turn out to be the last...but for awhile she thought she was or something, right? I don't remember.

[Steven]

Yes that is right!!! Kahlan Amnell!

In the books (or at least the first, all I've had a chance to read so far), she is the last. I loved the TV show :)

My other clues were:
4. I am called Mother, even though I am childless (since she's the Mother Confessor).
5. My power is feared greatly, and I rarely experience the touch of another human -- at least not by their choice.
6. My eventual husband carries a mighty sword.
7. I travel with a wizard, a woods guide, and occasionally, a former torturer.

[Jex]

That's the only one I've recognized enough to guess and I haven't even read the book. I love love love her dress in the show soooo much though! I want one!

[Steven]

Yes, she is one of my favorite (if not THE favorite) female characters ever.

She's so kickass. And gorgeous! And good to the core! :)

[Jex]

Guess that makes it my turn. This one will either be really easy or really hard depending on if you've read the book :-P

1. I uncovered a conspiracy.

[Steven]

Oh my, that could be so many!

Robert Langdon!?

[Sonia]

Alex Cross

[Jex]

I realize that one could be a lot of people :-P

1. I uncovered a conspiracy.
2. I wear sunglasses all the time.

[Sonia]

Blade

Oh wait, there isn't a book about Blade, or there is?

[Lisarenee]

I don't know. One of the BDB guys wears sunglasses doesn't he?

[Sonia]

Wrath

[Sonia]

I begin reading the BDB series :)

[Steven]

Next clue! Next clue!!!

[Mary]

Georgia Mason from Feed? :D

By the way, I loved Legend of the Seeker when it was on. Haven't read the books, but I was sad to see the TV series go.

[Jex]

Mary got it!

My other clues were going to be:

I'm a blogger
I worked on a presidential campaign.
I evade zombies daily.

Grats Mary!

[Steven]

Haven't heard of Feed... Will have to look into it!

Mary, I loved the first book and the tv series. I'll be reading more as soon as I can finish some galleys I have and some horror books for a challenge I joined!

It's really good. Long but good.

[Mary]

Love, love, love Feed and its sequels.

Can someone else take a turn? I won't be able to be on GR for a while and it won't be very fun if I give you a clue and make you wait until tomorrow for the next one.

[Steven]

I'll go!

1. I'm extremely wealthy.

[Lisarenee]

Gatsby from the Great Gatsby

[Steven]

Good guess!

1. I'm extremely wealthy.
2. I own a fancy Manhattan apartment, an old waterfront brownstone, and a plantation house.

[Lisarenee]

Not sure and about to go off line or at least away from the computer. I'll have to think about it.

[Steven]

Okay! I'll go ahead and post the third one and check back before I hit the hay.

3. My family tree is full of murderers, insane people, carnies, con artists, and the like.

[Mary]

I have no idea! This person sounds interesting, though.

[Lisarenee]

So We've got:
1. I'm extremely wealthy.
2. I own a fancy Manhattan apartment, an old waterfront brownstone, and a plantation house.
3. My family tree is full of murderers, insane people, carnies, con artists, and the like.

No idea. Hmmmm.

[Steven]

I'll copy and paste them all together when I get back to a computer... Currently on my phone!

4. While I usually buck authority (because clearly I know better), I have enough clout to get to choose the cases I want to take - usually the weird fringe cases like the Museum Murders, the Surgeon killer, or Voudou Zombie attacks.

[Mary]

Ooh! This sounds a little familiar now... Is it Pendergast from the Pendergast novels?

[Steven]

Yes it is! One of my favorite book series!!! :)

I didn't plan any more clues yet. Great job! :)))

[Mary]

Yay! I actually haven't read any of them, but a friend has been pushing me to read them.

1. I am a wanted man.

[Sonia]

Harry Dresden?

[Steven]

Oh you definitely definitely should read them. A few of them are meh, but most of them are great! :)

[Mary]

Good guess, Sonia, but no!

1. I am a wanted man.
2. My family disowned me.
