top ten tuesday: checking in

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly list feature hosted over at The Broke and the Bookish where, each week, we discuss a different topic as it relates to some of our favorite books. This week's theme is "April 7: Top Ten Characters You'd Like To Check In With (meaning, the book or series is over and you so just wish you could peek in on the "life" you imagine they are leading years down the line after the story ends). "

I love this theme!! I often wish I could go into some of my favorite series and just see how the characters are living their lives, especially with standalone contemporaries that I feel like are too short. (I've excluded Harry Potter from this list because, well, obviously we'd all want to check in and see how Harry and the gang is doing)

1. Cath and Levi from Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell – I love these two so much, and I felt like I could keep reading on and on forever about their lives together. I would love to peek in on them now and see how they're being adorably dorky together.

2. Macallan and Levi from Better Off Friends by Elizabeth Eulberg – Since it took these two SO DANG LONG to get together in the first place, I would love to be able to see how they're living their life together now that they finally had gotten to a point where they could be together. If only, if only.

3. Amy and Roger from Amy & Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson – this really is turning out to be contemporary couples hour over here, but I really do want to see how Amy and Roger are working out, with the distance and all. I hope they're still doing ok, but it would just be nice to check in, you know?

4. Percy, Annabeth, Frank, Hazel, Jason, Piper, Leo, Reyna, Nico, and everyone else from Camp Half Blood and Camp Jupiter from the Heroes of Olympus series by Rick Riordan – Though this series ended last year, I am still in denial and feel like there will be more to come from Percy and the gang. Oh how I wish that were true. I want to know how these kids are doing, after everything they've been through, I want to make sure someone is giving them cookies and enough love. Especially Nico.

5. Anna and Etienne from Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins – I guess technically the last time we hear from Anna and Etienne is in Isla and the Happily Ever After, but I would still like to check in on them, post the events of that last novel. They're one of my all time favorite fictional couples, and just to know that they're doing alright would be enough for me.

6. Noah and Jude from I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson – I just want to make sure that the twins are healing their relationships, with each other, with their father, with their significant others and friends and ghosts and demons. I just want to make sure they're on the road to recovery and make sure they're still making art.

7. Mim, Beck and Walt from Mosquitoland by David Arnold – Did they get back together for opening day is really my main question and also can Mim and Beck please get married and have Walt be the maid of honor and the best man at once?

8. Mia and Adam from If I Stay and Where She Went by Gayle Forman – This duology showed that these two basically need each other to survive well, and I just want to make sure they're together and happy and not chased by their pasts. I want them to still be making music together, mismatched pieces fitting somehow perfectly together.

9. Victor, Sydney, Mitch and Dominic from Vicious by V.E. Schwab  – Basically, I just want to make sure that they took their golden opportunity to run around helping other EOs as a team of morally questionable super anti-heroes. I'd eat up a TV show like that.

10. Eleanor and Park from Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell  – WHAT ARE THE THREE WORDS.

what are some of your answers to these questions?
