Top 5 Tuesday is a weekly meme created and hosted by Shanah, the Bionic Book Worm, and now managed by Meeghan at Meeghan Reads.
This week’s topic:
F – G – H – I – J
(characters whose name begins with the featured letters)
I SUCK at remembering character names, so this will be tough.
F IS FOR…
Frank Longbottom
After a long time trying to think of a character whose name begins with this letter, Frank’s name was the only one to pop up, and that’s because the name “Frank” popped in my head and then I tried to think of a character I read about whose name is actually Frank.
Anyway, Frank Longbottom is Neville’s dad. I think we meet Neville’s parents for the first time in book five of the Harry Potter series when Harry and the Weasleys visit Mr. Weasley in St. Mungo’s.
G IS FOR…
Georgina Sparks
She’s from the Gossip Girl TV show. I have no idea if she appears in the books. I loved the show and attempted to read the book but couldn’t get into it.
Georgina is a troublemaker and tends to pop up whenever things begin to get “dull” (lol) on New York’s upper east side.
H IS FOR…
Kakashi Hatake
I saw the letter H and immediately though “Hatake.” I don’t even know how that name popped in my head because it’s been SO long since I watched Naruto. But now I want to start watching it again since I thought of it.
I’ve only seen a few episodes, but this dude quickly became one of my favorite characters. Actually, he was probably the only character I liked. He taught Naruto’s team.
I IS FOR…
Islanzadí
It’s blowing my mind that these random side characters who I haven’t thought of in a very long time keep popping up in my head. I blame Frank Longbottom because after forcing that name to the forefront of my mind, these others came out easily.
Islanzadí is the elf queen from Christopher Paolini’s Inheritance Cycle books — a fantasy series about a farm boy who becomes a dragon rider and saves the world from an evil dude. I don’t have much to say about Islanzadí. I think she pops up for the first time in the second book, Eldest.
J IS FOR…
Prince Jon
He’s Alanna’s (the protag) friend in Tamora Pierce’s Song of the Lioness books, which is about a girl (Alanna) who disguises herself as a boy to become a knight. I enjoyed reading these books. I liked Jon, but I much preferred George and liked how things turned out there.
I love it

Georgina Sparks! I love gossip girl. I’m still not over the ending.

I never made it to the end and I’ve researched it many times. I don’t know why. I think it’s because I was told Dan is Gossip Girl and that just didn’t make sense to me, not really. And that he fell for Blair, which I didn’t like. I liked both characters but didn’t want it all to devolve into everyone hooking up with each other.
Ugh! Now I feel like rewatching it again. Maybe I’ll get to the end this time.

I’ve watched the whole thing multiple times and it still doesn’t make sense! Chuck also died and came back.

I think I saw that part where he died. Is that when he forgot who he was too, lost his memory or something? I think it’s around then I kinda stopped watching. Chuck is one of my favs too. Actually Chuck and Blair are my favs. Most entertaining. And Georgina sometimes. Who are yours?
LikeLike
Yes. I don’t think they realized how much everyone loved chuck so had to fix it. Serena is my favorite.

I loved Gossip Girl, but never got into the books either.
I did also try reading Eragon when I was young and it didn’t stick too well either. Maybe it’s time to try again?!!
Great list, and thanks for joining us!! 💕

Thanks for continuing the meme 😊
The Eragon books could get boring sometimes, but they were interesting reads.
