I have been tagged to do the Disney Book Tag by the lovely Frankie of Chicks, Rogues and Scandals Blog
This was one Tag Game I was happy to do because it presented such an interesting challenge. So without further ado, here is my selection.
The Little Mermaid: a character who is out of their element, a fish out of water.
My choice is Mick Tremore from Judith Ivory’s The Proposition, a cocky Cornish ratcatcher who has to pass himself off as a gentleman.
Cinderella: a character who goes through a major transformation.
This has to be “Charming” Mickey O’Connor from Elizabeth Hoyt’s Scandalous Desires (Maiden Lane, #3), the ultimate bad boy who transforms into a swoon-worthy hero.
Snow White: a book with an eclectic cast of characters.
I’m selecting Renee Bernard’s Devil May Care which is full of unique and off-beat characters.
Sleeping Beauty: a book that put you to sleep
I can’t really recall any books that put me to sleep so I’m selecting Lisa Kleypas’s Crystal Cove (Friday Harbor, #4) which turned out to be a tremendous disappointment.
The Lion King: a character who had something traumatic happen to them in childhood.
Amy Masters from Catherine Anderson’s Comanche Heart (Comanche, #2) is my choice here. She suffered a terrible ordeal at the age of twelve, when captured by a band of Comancheros.
Beauty and the Beast: a beast of a book (a big book) that you were intimidated by but found the story to be beautiful.
This is not so much a book as a whole series. J. R. Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood series is now on its 13th book and that equates to an awful lot of pages!!
Aladdin: a character that gets their wish granted, for better or worse.
Sebastion St. Vincent in Lisa Kleypas’s The Devil in Winter (Wallflowers, #3) is in need of a fortune and wishes for a miracle which comes in a unlikely form.
Mulan: a character who pretends to be something or someone they’re not.
In Tessa Dare’s Any Duchess Will Do (Spindle Cove, #4) barmaid Pauline Simms pretends to be a future duchess.
Toy Story: a book with characters you wish would come to life.
It has to be all the characters from Lisa Kleypas’s wonderful Wallflowers series.
Disney descendants: your favourite villain or morally ambiguous character.
No hesitation here, it has to be the deliciously wicked Viscount Ludovic DeVere from Victoria Vane’s The Devil DeVere series.
I am not tagging anyone but, if any of my fellow bloggers would like to take part in the Disney Book Tag, please feel free to do so.
Lovely selection of books! And I really wish the Wallflowers and Hathaways would come to life! 🙂
Thank you, Shivalika. I had fun deciding on which books to choose. I love the Hathaways too but, if I had to choose just one set of characters, it would have to be those from the Wallflowers series.
Maybe I would pick one at knife point! 😀
Devil lin Winter is a great Aladdin choice! And I would love Lisa Kleypas’ characters come to life, too.
Thank you, Quinn. The other characters I would love to see come alive are those from Elizabeth Hoyt’s Maiden Lane series.
Great pics! I love the Wallflower series especially
Thank you, Tiara. 🙂
Great list Carol, It’s seem’s be a recurring theme that everyone would love Lisa Kleyas’ character’s to come to life. That really goes to show how talented Lisa Kleypas is. And you’ve got my all time favorite Elizabeth Hoyt on there too, I just love Charming Micky 🙂
Frankie, there are so many of Lisa Kleypas’s characters that I would love to see come to life and it would be fantastic if they made a TV Mini Series of the Wallflowers and the Hathaways.
Charming Mickey is still my favourite hero from the Maiden Lane series with Winter Makepeace a close second.
I totally agree with you there Carol!
