Top Ten Tuesday: Characters I'd Want With Me on a Deserted Island

Tuesday, July 22, 2014

Let's be honest here…nobody really wants to be on a deserted island, do they? I have no desire to go all Castaway and make best friends with a basketball. If, however, I had to be stranded on a deserted island, I think that the right company might make such a tedious stay a little more bearable. Literary characters might be fictional, but I'm pretty sure any of these would enormously brighten my day on any deserted island. 


Four from Divergent - Because he's hot and principled. I like that combo.
Luna from Harry Potter - Because she's quirky and oddly intelligent, and I think she'd keep us sane.
Augustus from The Fault in Our Stars - Because it's a metaphor. Obviously.


Rose from Vampire Academy - Because she's a take-no-prisoners, tough, awesome girl.
Jace from The Mortal Instruments - Because I'm pretty sure he'd kick some ass.
Anna from Anna and the French Kiss - Because everyone needs a girlfriend to keep them level, right?


Legolas from The Lord of the Rings - Because he's really good with sharp, pointy things.
Finnick Odair from The Hunger Games - Because he's sexy without a shirt, and he always has sugar.
Teresa from The Maze Runner - Because someone needs to have a god soul on this island.
Ender from Ender's Game - Because he's a principled hero.

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature from The Broke and the Bookish.

  1. Awesome list! Completely agree with Finnick, Anna, Rose, Jace, and Four. I love your reason for Luna. :)

  2. I love your choices, Melissa. I would probably have to think for hours about who I would choose to have on a deserted island, but you've made some smart choices. All those characters from dystopian books would be a necessity for me to survive as well! :)

  3. I love Luna -- she is oddly intelligent and so sweet. And it helps to have someone nice to look at (ahem, Finnick!).

  4. FOUR!!!! Yesssssssssss. *pounces on him and drags him to a deserted island* He would make my time being stranded much more pleasurable on a variety of levels. I have no survival skills whatsoever, so he would be good to have a round. He's resourceful. As is Legolas, so a huge YES to him as well. And Luna would just be fun - she's just odd enough to make you feel totally sane:)

  6. I chose Jace as well! I almost brought Anna along but ultimately decided on having Evie from Poison Princess as my BFF on the island! Great Team

  7. Characters from dystopian books are a must on a deserted island cause they'd be much better than I could ever be at survival! And Legolas for hunting would be a fantastic choice!!

  9. Rose is an awesome choice (especially Rose at the end of the series, after she's matured somewhat), because she's kick-butt and it's pretty much impossible to keep her down. She might make some enemies on the island, though... ;P

  10. I'd definitely have Four, Rose, Jace, Legolas, and Finnick on my side. I'd probably bring Hermione instead of Luna though and I'd want Katsa from GRACELING since she has a grace for survival which would be handy. Great list, Melissa!(:
