Top Ten Tuesday: Characters Who Have Lost Someone


Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and The Bookish.  This week's topic is the top ten books featuring characters who BLANK.  It's been such a busy week that I haven't had time to think of a topic, so I'm just going to do one of the examples given.  So here is my top ten book characters who have lost someone at the start of/before the book/series.

Charlie, The Perks of Being a Wallflower
his aunt and best friend

Warm Bodies
Julie, Warm Bodies
her mother

Into the Darkness (Darkness Falls #1)
Phoenix, Into the Darkness
her family

Anna Dressed in Blood (Anna, #1)
Cas, Anna Dressed in Blood
his father

The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, #1)

her father

The Book Thief
Liesel, The Book Thief
her mother, father and brother

  4. I have been meaning to start reading that series. I was put off by the poofy dress on the cover. I thought it was a different kind of story than it is. I'm on the linky if you want to see what I'm teasing this week. Happy reading!

Feature and Follow (29 May)

The Feature & Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee of  Parajunkee’s View  and Alison of  Alison Can Read . Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it’ll allow us to show off more new blogs! I'm one of the featured blogs this week! Along with Amanda of  The Darling Bookworm . This week’s Question: How many books have you got on your TBR list? I recently had a bit of a cull of my TBR list so now it is sitting at 269. I'm trying my hardest to get it below 200 by the end of the year but I really don't see it happening. I'd currently be happy if I managed to get it below 225. However, I did recently have a look through my TBR on Goodreads and deleted a few books that I don't think I will actually ever read - I'm not even to sure how they got there anyway.
