Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they will post a new Top Ten list that one of the bloggers there at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. Everyone is welcome to join!
It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve done a Top Ten Tuesday post, with my insanely busy schedule and trying to adjust to a significant drop in the amount of time I have each week to devote to reading thanks to my job change. But I liked this week’s topic, and am trying to slowly get back into the blogging flow of things, so decided I definitely wanted to participate. My choices are probably a bit off the wall – I tried to stay away from those really well known books, although a few of them did sneak onto the list – but hopefully I’ve managed to find a few that folks agree with.

Great list! Nico di Angelo is a really interesting character and how he fits in to the Percy Jackson series really added to the story.
My TTT
I love Nico. I’m hoping we’ll see lots more of him in the upcoming House of Hades, because I think he has the potential to be even more awesome. :)
I’ve been meaning to start the Unbreakable series, so I’m glad there are such memorable characters in the book. Siege and Storm is another one I need to read soon. Thanks for sharing your faves. Hope the new job is going well.
Barclay really doesn’t do anything for you until Unbreakable, but I liked Janelle a lot, and Ben was rather swoon-worthy, too, so there’s plenty to like about Unraveling. I hope you enjoy them once you do get a chance to read them!
I loved Barclay in Unbreakable, but not so much in Unraveling. He was one of those characters that sneak up on you. I love Kanin in the Blood of Eden series! Jackal is also pretty awesome – the pair of them are much more interesting than Zeke, honestly. Lovely list!
Oh, I agree. I really didn’t like him much at all in Unraveling, but I was swooning pretty hard over him in Unbreakable. Talk about a character who did a 180! I absolutely adored him throughout that entire book. :)
I think I need to start the Unraveling series! I’ve heard such good things! :-) Great list.
I LOVE Nico! I definitely liked him best in The Titan’s Curse, but I really love how his character has changed and grown over the series. I like that he’s the dark horse and pretty mysterious. And of course, Thalia is like, the badass of all badasses.
Thalia is amazing. I just adore her strength, and the way she and Percy managed to be friends even though kids of Poseidon and Zeus usually don’t get along. I love the way her story arc played out!
I preferred Jackal over Kanin, he was so much more fun! :)
My TTT
Oh, Nico is a good one! Hoping he’s more of a focus on the upcoming novel!
Okay, I haven’t actually read any of these and I’m not sure why. They sound so great … I can sense my TBR pile is about to get a lot bigger!
My TTT :)

Oh I forgot the girls from Gallagher Girls! I adore Macey… almost more than I adore Cammie! Nico wasn’t my favorite most times, but Thalia Grace surely was! I loved her story, both what happened to her when she was younger and then what she ended up becoming. Great list!
Yes, I loved Thalia’s story arc. She was such a strong, well-constructed character. And Macey is totally awesome!
Nico is amazing, I’m hoping to see more of him. I love how you set your list up. It’s so pretty.
My TTT
Thank you! I was initially just going to list the characters, then decided I’d pretty my list up a bit. Glad you liked it! :)
I knoe only Thalia and Nico. This is soooo depressing. Seems like I haven’t read anything!
