Alanna and Elpheba as underdogs? SAY IT AINT SO
Yay Lyra! Oh man am I stressed for next week – the powerhouse that is Luna Lovegood will be a tough match-up.
And I have never met Death or Thursday…clearly they are characters that I must needs acquaint myself with. Off to the library this weekend. But still – Lyra or GTFO, ladies!
Death
Sandman Chronicles – wonderfulhorribleachingterrifying graphic novel series
Thursday Next (less images)
has a pet dodo, is detective of Jurisfiction – to keep sure fiction behaves and doesn’t enter the real world, and from time to time a husband, if he isn’t eradicated.
Ooof. This one was hard. Jo March or Anne Shirley?? Alanna or Lyra??? Augh. It only goes downhill from here, methinks.
Team underdog!
I haven’t voted yet. I’m just staring at this and thinking, “Why?”
I worry about how little of these names I recognize.
Me, too! I’m starting to wonder if I’m bookish or clever enough to be a member of the Iron Unicorn Army. But hey, look at all the potentially fabulous books to add to our reading lists!
This felt too easy … what is in store for us, Selena? Whaaaat?!
