And then I adore Jane Eyre (but that one might be kind of cheating since she's like the literary goddess).

I really don't know HOW I am going to sit through a screening of The Fault in Our Stars. I'm going to be such a blubbering mess. But I'm resolved that if I see any YA book to movie in the next year, TFiOS will be it. :)<br /><br />Great topic!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026974627724672435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120760076447564855.post-24495463608474415182013-08-30T09:56:46.985-04:002013-08-30T09:56:46.985-04:00YES to ALL of the above!

ALL THE MARAUDERS! :) I also love Aragorn from Lord of the Rings and Peeta is perhaps the character who inspires me the most from THG since he tries to hard to be GOOD in a time of such darkness. Wonderful post, Melissa! :)Keertanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01071392026876644282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120760076447564855.post-14896319310690544022013-08-30T09:11:44.274-04:002013-08-30T09:11:44.274-04:00Such a fab list!

He lives in the past, seeing Harry as a son but also as James for the most part. I loved that. It somehow made him more inspirational and stronger in my mind because it made him real. <3Mia Haysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01041441666482084762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120760076447564855.post-22892042884188981572013-08-30T08:25:32.076-04:002013-08-30T08:25:32.076-04:00Okay, I have got to agree with all of those titles...Okay, I have got to agree with all of those titles, Melissa!

There are so many (and yet, not near enough sometimes). Love Katniss, the reluctant hero. LOVE Sirius because he's awesome. STILL haven't read TFiOS because I'm not ready to cry yet.

So strong emotionally and the way she took care of Augustus near the end?
