Fun topic! I so admire people with special talents, especially musical ones since I have NONE.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
Nice topic choice! I love Ronan, the whole being able to pull objects out of dreams thing is so cool!

This was a fun one! So many great picks - my favorites from here are Cath, Cricket and Mia because I loved those books so much. Great list!
ReplyDeleteGreat list. I love so many of those characters. Mia from If I Stay and Mara from the Mara Dyer series are a couple of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteLoved that you did 10 A-C, ;)
ReplyDeleteI also liked that you included the talent (sometimes people don't, and I have to google it if I haven't read the book!)
I would love to be able to pull things out of my dreams (money, chocolate cake, clothes, other things . . .) I haven't actually read the Raven Cycle, but they're on my list.

Very interesting! You have a nice variety of normal and paranormal characters listed here. I've had the first book of The Raven Cycle for quite a while but have yet to pick it up. I might have to do that soon!
ReplyDeleteThis was a really fun topic! And I love how diverse these talents are... I've never thought about it before. A lot of these characters are favorites of mine - Ronan, Mia, Cath, Cricket... great list!
ReplyDeleteOh this was a cool topic to do for TTT! The only one i've read is if I stay!! I've got to get to some of these other books!
ReplyDeleteARG! I still need to read Fangirl. It is seriously just SITTING on my shelf!
