Top 10 Tuesday — Supporting Characters

19 May

Happy Tuesday! Today TTT’s topic is secondary, or as I like to call them, supporting characters. I see supporting characters as integral to creating a complete story. A reader gets an in-depth look at the struggles of the mains, as well as a richer reading experience. I’m not great at remembering secondary/supporting characters, so I did a search with the term in my blog reviews. I think you’ll find some great books to check out that have great supporting characters, and there’s a variety of genres that should appeal to any reading mood.

For more interesting characters, please visit That Artsy Reader Girl.

    I have been “meaning” to read The Forgotten Life of Eva Gordon by Linda MacKillop for several years now…hopefully I will get to it this year. Great list! Have a good week!

    I didn’t think to do a blog search, I probably could have made a list that way!
    Thanks for sharing your #TTT

      Sometimes key words work out. But sometimes it’s a big dud! 😉

    My memory is terrible, so I struggle with these kinds of prompts. You were smart to do a search through your reviews for help. I’ll remember that for next time (maybe – my memory really is VERY bad)!

    Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
