I love your topic choice, and I'll have to check out some of those titles! I picked musicians for my focus - not so different, I guess!
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of any of these, what an interesting idea! I went a little off topic today due to current events. hope it's ok!
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I love Nastya from Sea of Tranquility.
ReplyDeleteFabulous list. Love Sea of Tranquility.
ReplyDeleteOoh, this would be really hard to answer! I've only read If I Stay, and I absolutely agree with those two :) Nice post!
ReplyDeleteLove this - I actually only know Adam and Mia and Franny Banks and they are perfect picks for this. Some of the others I still need to get to - Love the list!
ReplyDeleteThis was an interesting topic for everyone. Lots of freedom to focus on what each person loves. Thanks for that!
ReplyDeleteFun topic! Novels, especially YA ones, are FULL of performing artists. It seems as if there's at least one in every teen novel I've read.
ReplyDeleteGreat topic, but I guess I wouldnt have been able to come up with ten character picks haha.
ReplyDeleteI loved the free-for-all nature of this week's top ten. Yours are fun (I haven't read many of them I am intrigued.)
ReplyDeleteGreat list! Most of these are on my to read list. I have to sadly admit that I haven't read any yet. Thanks for hosting this weekly. Happy reading!!!!
