-
Gosh , Today's Top 10 was difficult in trying to come up with the Top 10 Horrible and Unfortunate names in Literature. I struggled but made it to 10. "just".
If you want to participate check out the host blog http://brokeandbookish.blogspot.com/

  1.  Eugenia - The 4yr old Niece in "Nancy's Theory of Style" - Grace Coppersmith - BTW Check out my Blog for the review , coming soon.
  2. Roland Green - Maximum Exposure -Alison Kent - Too close to Ronald for me and having a colour as a surname.
  3. Roger Gordon- Making Waves - Lorna Seilstand - I can't stand the name Roger.
  4. Bill - Sookie Stackhouse/True Blood Books -Charlaine Harris - Who would call a Vampire Bill or anyone for that matter.
  5. Armpit - Holes -Loius Sachar- I know that it's a nickname but Armpits -come on.
  6. Ron Weasley - Harry Potter -JK Rowling  First off the first name is Ronald and second of all Weasley is such a horrible surname.
  7. Hermonie Granger - Harry Potter -JK Rowling - Sounds like Her-moaning or could be changed to Hormonie .
  8. Beezus from the Series Ramona and Beezus - Ramona is bad enough but calling your child Beezus .
  9. Drea - Harmonic Feedback - Tara Kelly - When I see this name it makes me think of Dreariness and it's not a very uplifiting name.
  10. Katniss - The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins - Now the two main stars had weird names but since I just needed a number 10 , I went with the weirdest Katniss which reminds me of Catnip.

    I've always actually liked Hermione! Victor Krum trying to pronnounce her name was funny. "Herm...Hermyoninny."

    A vampire named...Bill?

    That's a profoundly meek choice of a name for a vampire.

    Here's my list:

    @The Name Bill- Its always my funniest memory of True Blood S1 when The Vampire Bill tells Sookie his name.

    Ron Weasley doesn't bother me that much, since I have relatives named Ron.

    The Quimbys didn't call their child Beezus, either. Her name is actually Beatrice... but Ramona called her Beezus when she was little.

    I'm surprised none of Douglas Adams' or Terry Pratchett's characters got a guernsey in this list. Then again, I suppose their names were often unfortunate on purpose. Moist von Lipwig, Gag Halfrunt, Fenchurch...
    And I think Bill is an inspired choice for a vampire name. I have only read the first three books and not seen the show, but I thought Charlaine Harris handled the comedy of his name very deftly.

    @Willsin - The reason that those two didn't make my list is because Im not a Douglas Adams or Terry Pratchett Fan lol.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
