The Cat in the Hat (!)
Paddington Bear (!!)
Anne of Green Gables
Hamlet
Rhett Butler
Moby Dick (Yes, the whale. o_0 Okay then.)

Lyra Silvertongue (From the same Pullman series--HER I remember! LOL!)
And...drumroll please...BIGWIG! My favorite character from my favorite book! Wooooot! You da man rabbit! XD
Back to hating my sinuses now...
Although I got a really great deal on a box of Tylenol Sinus caplets at Walgreens. That was spiffy. I also got a big ol' stack of Disney comics, which makes me a very happy fangirl. And a big bottle of water treater and a bunch of filter sponges, which makes me a pleased fish-mommy. ;)
