Secondary Characters Blog Hop

Today is the Secondary Characters blog hop and I'm so excited to see who everyone picks!


Sometimes secondary characters steal the show, (or the book) and become our favorites. We want you to tell us about your favorite secondary characters from books or movies, or both!
Whether it's the funny best friend or that goofy kid next door,
we want to know what secondary characters
you just couldn't get enough of and why.
 
 
for cohosting and generously offering critiques as prizes!
These ladies are brilliant, wonderful critiquers.
I am also giving away a three chapter critique along with an ebook
which releases on May 28th. (I'm so excited!)
Cassie Mae and Kelley Lynn will also pick a winner to get either an ebook of
 
So, I actually didn't have a hard time picking for this. Two characters came to mind right away. First, my favorite secondary characters from a book:
Zuzanna from Daughter of Smoke and Bone, by Laini Taylor:
(This is the picture Laini Taylor had for Zuzanna on her Pinterest board.)
Zuzanna is awesome. She is spunky and smart, hilarious and full of attitude.
She's described in the book as a rabid pixie. ;)
She's a great friend to Karou and a wonderful part of the book. The second book, Days of Blood and Starlight, just made me love her more. (And Mik, too. What a great team.)
 
From movies or TV I picked Amy Farrar Fowler.
 
I seriously love Amy Farrar Fowler. She is freaking hilarious. 
The character has changed a lot over the course of her appearance on the show, but I think it all works. She was a socially awkward girl with no friends, and no interest in love. 
But after developing female friendships it makes sense that she'd change some.
She's still smart, still socially awkward, but she's more out-going, more willing to loosen up and show her wild side. (Sort-of wild side.) ;)
And she fell for Sheldon. It's so cute. :) And those feelings changed her, too.
She was such a great addition to the show and she makes me laugh out loud all the time.
She's totally awesome.
 
So, those are my picks.  I can't wait to see what characters made your lists!

  1. Amy was a great addition. Funny that the actress is so smart and personable in reality. I heard she intimidates some of the other actors with her intelligence.

  3. I love Amy. I love Amy so much. I refrained from putting TV on mine because my list would just never end, but if I had, Amy would definitely have been on there.

    BTW, I have no idea how I got going the wrong direction with this fest, but I've added a little bit of the "right" kind of answer to the fest at the bottom of my post now.
    My secondary character favorites include: Valentine and Graff from Ender's Game, Sam from LOTR, Luna Lovegood and Neville from the Harry Potter series, and Puddlegum from The Silver Chair.

  15. Zuzanna! Who wouldn't want a best friend like her?!? And I've never watched the Big Bang Theory but have heard so many great things about it I think I may need to add it to my watch list.

  16. I love Amy! She's the only one who can effectively smack down Sheldon.

  17. I keep trying to watch Big Bang Theory because I know so many people who absolutely love it, but the show uses A LOT of laugh tracks that make it hard to appreciate the humor. I hate it when shows are ruined with laugh tracks. Amy sounds like a great character though.

    I have yet to read Daughter of Smoke and Bone, I may have to check it out. Love the picture used for Zuzanna though. Very captivating.
