11/11: Top Ten Tuesday:Ten Supporting Characters You Wish Would Get Their OWN Book

Happy Top Ten Tuesday!

Today, we're discussing ten supporting characters that we wish would get their own book! 

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the lovely ladies at The Broke and the Bookish!  


-J 

10. Will from A Mad Wicked Folly (Viking Juvenile)

Picture
A Mad Wicked Folly is absolutely Victoria Darling's story, but I feel like Will probably has a lot to share with readers as well. 

I can only hope that Sharon decides to explore his background one day!

9. Mrs. Cliffe from Cinders & Sapphires/At Somerton series (Disney Hyperion)

Like Mrs. Hughes from Downton Abbey, I bet Mrs. Cliffe from the At Somerton series knows all and sees all. 

I'd love to see how a book from her early days, especially as she realizes that her life in service is about to change in unforeseen ways. 

(Sound mysterious? It's because I can't give away spoilers! Read the books if you want to figure out what I mean!)

8. Alternate-universe Marguerite from A Thousand PIeces of You (HarperCollins)

Picture
I don't think it's really a spoiler to reveal that Marguerite has to deal with the lives of alter-universe Marguerite throughout A Thousand Pieces of You. 

Gray creates some pretty compelling alternate/multiverse lives for Marguerite, and I would love to see her explore any one of them in a spin-off/short story, etc.

7. Queen Eleanor from The Ring and the Crown (Disney Hyperion)

Ok, first things first: I need a sequel to this book! Melissa de la Cruz has created such a spectacular world, I really want to spend more time in it. 

Second, I really want a book from Queen Eleanor and the previous royals. I think there's a lot of great opportunity for drama and intrigue.

6. Melvin from The Fourteenth Goldfish (Random House BFYR)

Picture
Ellie's the star of The Fourteenth Goldfish, but I would love it if Dr. Melvin got his own book.

Based on his slightly grumpy (but funny) observations of the world, along with his clear adoration of his wife, I have a feeling that he was quite the character when he was younger. 

5. Mr. Tumnus from The Chronicles of Narnia (HarperCollins)

This one's a little random, but I'd really love it if an author could work with the C.S. Lewis estate to do a spin-off of Tumnus's story. 

He plays such an important part in getting humans back into Narnia, I'd love to see how he fared before meeting Lucy, and how he got on during the Golden Age of Narnia. 

Also, bonus James McAvoy picture!

4. Lilah from Open Road Summer (Bloomsbury)

Picture
I think we've all wondered what it's like to be the Next Big Thing in music, a la Taylor Swift. 

I'd love to get a book and/or short story from Lilah's POV, and to see just what it felt like for her rise to fame in the first place. 

3. Zack from Nantucket Blue/Nantucket Red (Disney Hyperion)

I love Cricket, and I love watching the evolution that she goes through in both books. 

However, I would love to hear from Zach's side of the story too. I'd love to see how he begins to fall for Cricket, and the evolution that their relationship goes through from his POV. 

Alternatively, I'd love to see the POV from his sister's view as well.

2. Jordan from Famous in Love by Rebecca Serle (Little, Brown BFYR)

Picture
Jordan appears as a stereotypical bad boy in Famous in Love, but I think there's a compelling backstory there. 

I'd love to see how he got into acting, his various ups and downs with Rainer, and all of the young Hollywood drama. 

1. Any secondary character from Not in the Script (Bloomsbury)

Guys. I LOVE this book, so I would be willing to spend time with ANY of the secondary characters in this book. 

(Pleeeeeeease Amy/Bloomsbury?)
