This week’s topic is: Favorite Character Relationships (These can be platonic or not. Romantic relationships, parent/child, siblings, family bonds, friendships, found families, pet/human, etc.)
All Time Favorite
In no way am I endorsing the horrific racism with which Margaret Mitchell wrote the voices of the enslaved persons in the book! Never. Scarlett and Rhett are one of literary history’s greatest romances. Gone With the Wind.
My Second All-Time Favorite
Ralph and Meggie–The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough
The Other Eight
Noah & great-nephew Michael
Akin by Emma Donoghue
I did not expect to finish, let alone LOVE this book. But, I’d have to say I LOVE Henry and Alex!
Red, White, and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston
A new fave: Billy and Margot!
Charm City Rocks by Matthew Norman
Jess & Ed and the kids and the dog!
One Plus One by JoJo Moyes
Albert, Mose, and Emmy in This Tender Landby William Kent Krueger
The entire Mackenzie family! I need to read more!
A Mackenzie Yuletide by Jennifer Ashley
The good staff members at Women’s Friend
Dear Mrs Byrd, Yours Cheerfully, and the new installment, Mrs Porter Calling by AJ Pearce
The whole Raman family! If this becomes a t.v. show I’ll watch it, even if it’s on Netflix (though I don’t want to give them $ after the red haired prince & wife were on there).
Late Bloomers by Deepa Varadarajan
Check out the rules at That Artsy Reader Girl and join in next week
Late Bloomers sounds good.

I liked Gone With the Wind, too. If only it could have been written without all of the racism.

Some great choices, Lisa. I haven’t read all of these, but the ones I have, yes. This Tender Land is a great choice and of course the Women’s Friends crew.

The Raman family has a complex dynamic. If only they were open to each other, there wouldn’t be a book.

Interesting selection of books and I like the fact that you didn’t make predictable choices. I can imagine a lot of these lists will include Pride and Prejudice for example

LOL!! I had others, but I’ve used them too many times before. Stephanie Plum & Lula for example

This is a great list. I haven’t read all of these books. I agree with your selections on the ones I’ve read.
