Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish and now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl.
The rules are simple:
- Each Tuesday, Jana assigns a new topic. Create your own Top Ten list that fits that topic – putting your unique spin on it if you want.
- Everyone is welcome to join but please link back to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own Top Ten Tuesday post.
- Add your name to the Linky widget on that day’s post so that everyone can check out other bloggers’ lists.
- Or if you don’t have a blog, just post your answers as a comment.
This week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic is Favorite Secondary/Minor Characters. I recall doing this before so rather than repeat it I’ve come up with my own twist – Two-Hander Book Titles – which poses the question which character’s primary and which secondary?
Links from each title will take you to my review or the book description on Goodreads.
- Miss Veal and Miss Ham by Vicki Heywood
- The Ballad of Lord Edward and Citizen Small by Neil Jordan
- Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke
- Eagle & Crane by Suzanne Rindell
- Miss Boston and Miss Hargreaves by Rachel Malik
- The Two Roberts by Damian Barr
- Thea and Denise by Caroline Bond
- Ike and Kay by James MacManus
- Elizabeth & Marilyn by Julie Owen Moylan
- Arthur & George by Julian Barnes
