Characters That Need Their Own Book... ASAP!

          
         I feel like I'm the type of person to fall in love with fictional characters so easily... SO EASILY. And then when the book is over, I get so frustrated that I am unable to read anything with that character ever again. Here are the ten characters that I believe need their own book!
          1. Primrose Everdeen, The Hunger Games


             I've always believed that Prim needed her own POV. Sadly, we all know that's never going to happen. *cries*

            2. Isabelle, The Mortal Instruments


                 I LOVED HER I LOVED HER I LOVED HER! She was probably my favourite character from this series, next to Clary and Simon and Jace.

            3. Christian, Unearthly


                  Damn, I was always on Team Christian! I WANT A POV FROM HIMMMM ANYDAY ANYTIME!

             4. Tiny Cooper, Will Grayson, Will Grayson


                   He was one of the most funniest and awesomest pals and side-characters that I've ever read about. HE MADE ME CRY OF HAPPINESS WHEN HE'D SHOW UP!

              5. Patrick, The Perks of Being a Wallflower


                     Favourite book, favourite sidekick. :)

                 6. Jared, The Host


                      I honestly feel like it's about time we find out some more info about the side-characters from this amazing story. It took my heart away and is one of my favourites.

                  7. Reagen, Fangirl


                        YESYESYESYES! Rainbow Rowell would master that. ;)

                     8. Kenji, Shatter Me


    Juliette's best friend deserves his own POV. 

                     9. Lola's Dads, Lola and the Boy Next Door


                                     Really, why not? You probably think I'm crazy, haha.

                        10. Isaac, The Fault in Our Stars


                       You all know that I'd obviously include Isaac. He was the quirky most awesome supporting character in John Green's writing!

What characters do you think need their own books?

Top Ten Character-Driven Books!

 Hey. I personally adore reading books that are perfect because of the characters' actions, not because of the fact that they're reacting in a certain way. So why not recommend ten pretties that were awesome because of the way the characters were and what they did?

1. Dangerous Boys, by Abigail Haas


   This was one of the first books that came to mind when I was asking myself this question. This book totally turned out awesome because the characters were psycho with the actions and steps they took. :)
2. The Winner's Curse, by Marie Rutkoski


     Kestrel was kick-ass, and she made the book ten times better than it already was. She made the right decisions and I ended up loving her sassy self in the world that she was in.

3. Afterworlds, by Scott Westerfield


         Scott Westerfeld created a book inside a book. How can this book itself not be character-driven? Darcy led the book by her actions and sassy author-self, and Lizzie led her story by doing what she did in the terrorist attack scene. Character-driven? Totally.



            Where would this story end up if Cady didn't make the decisions that she did make? Nowhere, I tell you. What would you do if you woke up not knowing where you are and you hear men talking about how they're going to do something to you?

5. The Kiss of Deception, by Mary E. Pearson


           Damn, I loved this book. TOTAL FAVOURITE OF 2014. MY OH MY. :) Lia was Mary E. Pearson's best, and all of the crazy kick-ass awesome events were led by Lia's awesomeness.

6. Burning, by Elana K. Arnold


            Lala was a gypsy, and all she ever wanted was to leave her life and be free. Free of rules and specific things needed to do. So, it all happened because of her actions, and look where it got her.

7. Midnight Thief, by Livia Blackburne


            Kyra was homeless at one point. Because of her kick-assness and sass, she ended up becoming an assassin and leading this story off to a better standing. SHE ENDED UP IN THE ASSASSIN GUILD, FOR GOODNESS GRACIOUS.

8. The Tyrant's Daughter, by J.C. Carleson


           Laila fought racism, and poverty. She fought bullying. In the end, everything ended up positive because of her. PRAISE THE BOOK LORDS FOR CREATING AN AMAZING HEROINE WHO INSPIRED US!



               Hey, the book and its events came to be because Leila didn't know about her feelings and she created those hilarious and shocking events. Thanks to her simplicity and confidence, she got me giving this book a whopping 5 stars. :)

10. Crown of Midnight, by Sarah J. Maas


       Who can forget including a Sarah J. Maas book as a tag for a character-driven book. If you love character-driven books, then STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND PICK THIS SERIES UP RIGHT NOW. Celaena made the feels come alive for me and I ended up in a massive book-hangover after this.

What are you favourite character-driven reads?
