For this activity we want you to dig through your memory and come up with your favorite character of the year. It doesn't have to be a book released this year, but it has to be a character you read about this year. Create a post and come back and link it using the Simply Linked at the bottom of this post.
This is a difficult challenge for me since I tend to love so many of the characters I read about it. However, the one who keeps coming back to me, as I try to sift through the huge number of books that I've read this year, is Katniss Everdeen.
Katniss is everything I like in a character. She is a strong person, but she isn't perfect. She makes mistakes, but usually when she is least comfortable with herself, her true self takes over and she does the right thing. I am really looking forward to seeing the movie, yet at the same time, I am wary of movie versions of books that I like.
I just hope that the movie does it justice and that it doesn't saturate everything until we're sick of it. It seems that has almost happened to Twilight lately. I also hope that the actress who plays Katniss will be able to portray her as a strong, likeable character.
I guess I'll have to wait until March to find out!
Excellent choice of character! I love Katniss' character. I too hope they don't mess up the movie. The trailer looks great though!

That is funny that we both picked Katniss. I also had a hard time deciding.
ReplyDeleteI loved that in Mockingjay, she finally goes bonkers. And I really hope they don't mess up the movie. Happy reading!
