"Creature from the Black Lagoon, I saw, would be showing next week. As I glanced at the picture, my heart twinged. I couldn't tolerate that film. The one time I'd seen it, everyone around me had screamed or laughed at the monster on the screen. But I just felt pity. It was the silliest of silly horror movies, and I'd walked out in tears."

This week's topic is: Top Ten Characters You Wish Would Get Their OWN Book (minor or just
maybe a semi main character you wish a book was from their POV)
*in no particular order
1. IAN from Jeaniene Frost's Night Huntress Series--Jeaniene says she's trying to get a story out of Ian! It's progress at least because I definitely loved Ian in this series!
2. ADAM from Tahereh Mafi's Shatter Me Trilogy--just wished we could've got a little more from Adam. I felt like his part was just abruptly cutoff in the ending and would've liked more!
3. CASS from Kelley Armstrong's Otherworld Series--I always hoped Cass would get her own novel, but it was never in the cards apparently. She did get her own novella, which I've read, but I would've liked to seen more of her.
4. SEBASTIAN from Colleen Gleason's Gardella Vampire Chronicles--well, he was sort of in the spinoff series that's kind of stalled at the moment. But I would've liked to seen more of him, from him! Victoria had a decision on her hands and thankfully she chose the man I liked, but that doesn't mean I don't want Sebastian happy with someone else!
5. JANCO from Maria V. Snyder's Study Series--I love Janco! Definitely one my most favorite secondary characters ever! He's just so funny and kind and all that good stuff! Would love to see him get a moment to shine with his own book! But I will settle for more in the series next year! ;)
6. REN from Andrea Cremer's Nightshade Series--I was a little upset with how things left off with Ren at the end of this one. I would've liked to know more about where he goes and all that.
7. DANIEL from Susan Dennard's Something Strange and Deadly Trilogy--needless to say, I would just want more of Daniel. Basically, if we were to rewrite the final book from his point of view, I'd be...content? ;)
8. CASSIAN from Sophie Jordan's Firelight Trilogy--yet another underdog that didn't get picked. Naturally I was team Will, but I still would've liked to known what Cassian ended up doing. If he ever found happiness.
9. KISTEN from Kim Harrison's Hollow Series--more dragging my feet! I didn't want to say goodbye to Kisten. Could we go back and have a novella with his point of view. Of a time with him and Rachel? It's possible there was one in the paperbacks, but since I always bought hardcovers, I never really got around to reading those shorts.
10. JACKAL from Julie Kagawa's Blood of Eden Trilogy--hells yes I would want more of Jackal! He was so funny and such an enjoyable character! I don't really expect that he'd find a special girl or whatever, but I still wouldn't say no to an adventure in his point of view!
