50/50 Friday is a meme hosted by Carrie @The Butterfly Reads and I and focuses on the opposite sides of books (best/worst, differing opinions, etc). Every week will have a new topic and several advance topics will be listed in the tab labeled 50/50 Friday!
Today's Topic: Character Most/Least Like Yourself
Most:
I think most bookish people hear me on this when I say I thought it was so awesome that JLA made Katy a bookworm and a blogger. Her dedication to her books and blog is so awesome and I feel the same way. Other than that, her stubbornness is also very like me and she feels a need to protect everyone in her life but also likes feeling protected. And, of course, she's drawn to the supernatural! :)
Least:
This book is all about a kid who doesn't really fit in based on his appearance and he softens his classmate's attitudes towards him. I've never really had to deal with any type of discrimination and I think of myself as a chameleon and I can fit wherever I go. August, however, is committed to being totally himself and not changing himself and consequently, he has to deal with a lot of hate before people start to accept him. I don't think I could ever actually do something like that and I really admire August's character.
What characters are you most/least like? Do we share a character pick? Make a post and link up down below!
Next Week's Topic: Most/Least Favorite Cover
I'm not like August at all either. He was much stronger than I'd be. I only read the first bit of Obsidian and I do remember Katy being relatable but I never finished the book. I was burnt out on paranormal romances.
ReplyDeleteYeah, he goes through so much at such a young age; I'm continually baffled by him. Aw that's too bad. While it's very YA-ey, it's got some great humor.
DeleteI think that was my favorite part of Obsidian! :D
ReplyDeleteI am finally posting a 50/50 Friday post this Friday!! I am excited to be making my first post for this book meme.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited to read your post! :)
DeleteHopefully, I'll remember to make more 50/50 posts in the future.... Sometimes, I'm so bad about remembering to take part in book memes!!
DeleteHaha I'm actually really bad at it as well! I always see memes on their post day and say I'll do one but then never seem to get it done for the next week!
DeleteI can't believe I didn't think of using Katy! It makes so much sense! Yes, we bookworms and bloggers and can see ourselves in the lovely Katy. Great choices!
ReplyDeleteHaha yeah she's such a great character! You don't see many book blogger characters so Katy is so awesome.
