A Meme of Her Own Making

[laeria]

Happy New Year, friends and listers!

I felt like posting about the new Sherlock, but I haven't actually watched it yet - I'm struck in that awkward rut where you REALLY WANT TO WATCH but also don't want to ruin a moderately good thing.

So, instead, I've been making a list of 15 Favourite Characters Ever and let me tell you, it was very harrrrd.

As for these fabulous people. I pick: Most Noble Adolphus Gillespie Vernon Ware, Duke of Sale - The Foundling, by Georgette Heyer

I'm not as much of a fan of Georgette Heyer as my mum and sister, so I haven't read this book, but do please tell me all about him.

My personal favourite is 'Friday's Child', maybe not the most feisty heroine, but boy is she and the boys adorable and mostly clueless.

YES Kitten the Boys' Club. I loved the bonding, I loved the cluelessness. Cotillion has a similar, but more equal hero-heroine dynamic, though, sadly, not quite as much boy-bonding

I will have to check this one out then. He sounds lovely. I'm sure that we have the book somewhere on a shelf, probably much loved and falling apart, but that is the sign of a good book after all.

Another thing I like about Friday's Child is dear, sensible Isabella, who rejects our hero at the beginning of the book and continues on in that fairly awesome vain. I also love that Hero and Sherry are both absolutely dreadful at keeping house and saving money.

I feel I might have to do this meme, although I'm afraid that as soon as I try to actually think of favourites they vanish from my head. There would have to be some Potter and Disc characters in there...
