Top Ten Tuesday: Characters I Would Switch Places With... for a time


Funny! I thought this would be an easy list prompt from The Broke and the Bookish today! But I'm struggling! What characters would I want to trade places with, even for just 24 hours? Some characters I love, but STILL wouldn't really want to trade places with them at all.... Katniss for instance. I don't think I could be her even for a short time.

Anyway, here's what I've come up with.

Top Ten Characters I Would Trade Places With for 24 Hours


1. Arwen from Lord of the Rings: so I could be a beautiful elf and love on Aragorn :)
2. Hermione from Harry Potter: so I could be smart and have adventures!
3. Mia Thermopolis from The Princess Diaries: so I could have a make over and meet Michael
4. Anna from Anna and the French Kiss: so I could go to Paris and meet an English dude
5. Lizzy from Pride and Prejudice: so I could meet Mr. Darcy "in real life"!
6. Mary from The Secret Garden: so I could live in a gloomy English mansion yet have the means to perk it up
7. Jo from Little Women: so I could make a different decision!
8. Denna from The Name of the Wind: so I could meet Kvothe "in real life"! BUT only for 24 hours because her life is way too hard for me.
9. Marian from any Robin Hood story: so I could be loved by Robin of course... and shoot arrows.
10. The Queen of Atolia from The Queen of Atolia: to meet Gen of course, however, to live with what I did to him? Not sure I could handle that even for 24 hours....


Hmmm... I'm sure if I were to do this another day, it would all come out differently, but today, that's what I've got!

Who would you put on your list?

    I agree with you about being Jo and making a different choice. HOW COULD SHE!?! Also, I would want to be Denna for a short while too. Preferably a short while that involves kissing Kvothe.

    Ach! I forgot to put a LOTR pick! I would adore to be Eowyn, but only after she got her *better* man :)

    We picked 3 of the same people! I'm not surprised, but still, that's awesome.

    We have a few in common. :) I chose Anna and someone from Harry Potter. But, I didn't choose Hermione. I had to be different. :)

    Very unique list! Jo is a great pick - I love that Little Women book and I reread it at least once every year!

    Great choices!! I agree with a lot of those. They would be fun. I think I would choose Eowyn instead of Arwen though.

    Hermione - definitely! You've made lots choices because of the heroes you'd meet and I think meeting Ron can't be left behind :)
