Top Ten Tuesday: Characters I'd like to be friends with

Top Ten Tuesday again, the weekly meme from the Broke and the Bookish. This week we discover who our fictional best friends would be.

1. Anne Shirley. This Anne-girl manages to bring a smile to the face of anyone who encounters her. She warms hearts and is a terrific 'bosom friend' to Diana. And she always has something interesting to say!








2. Jo March. I have always looked up to Jo. Her strength of character is a perfect model for how I'd like to live my own life. True she makes mistakes, but she is human and determined to live her life in the fullest way possible.








3. Alanna of Trebond. She kicks some serious butt, but has a pure heart and a fierce loyalty to her friends. Someone I'd always want in my corner!







4. Jane Bennett. She is so sweet and a great sister to Lizzie. I wish she were my older sister too.






 5. Pippi Longstocking. There could never be a dull moment with Pippi around!









6. Dickon from The Secret Garden. He talks to animals and can make things grow-who wouldn't want a friend like that!









7. Eowyn from Lord of the Rings. A shieldmaiden of Rohan who fights to achieve her own destiny. I think she could teach me a thing or two about inner strength.








8. Lestat. He fascinates me, and would love to have many a deep conversation with him.





9. Elphaba from Wicked. Again, she seems like a great person for a conversation.










10. Bridget Jones. She is so scatterbrained and drama-prone that she makes my life seem dull in comparison! Plus we can gush over Colin Firth together.








so there it is-my top ten. How does your list compare?

Nice list. Elphaba is a good one and I'm sure she wouldn't always been the most pleasant person but would have a lot of good things to talk about.

I never thought of Dickon, but he is a great choice! Also, we totally want to be friends with Elphaba.

Love Lestat. I'd definitely want to be best friends with him if I were a vampire. He really was just a lonely vampire :(

Fun list! I can't believe I forgot Anne and Pippi Longstocking! Although they'd get you into lots of trouble :p
