Every Tuesday over at the  The Broke and Bookish we all get to look at a particular topic for discussion and use various (or more to the point ten) examples to demonstrate that particular topic.  The topic this week is:

‘Ten Childhood Characters You’d Love To Revisit As Adults’

Now, it’s quite possible that some of these already have follow on novels – but I’ve either not read them or I’m not aware so here are mine for this week:

1. Alice from Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland – just what did happen to Alice?
2. Harry, Hermione and Ron – I know that J K Rowling wrote them grown up with their own children – but I’d like to see maybe a few of the years in-between.
3. Merry, Pippin and Sam from JRR Tolkien’s LotR – I mean, we know that Sam married his young lady from the Inn but what happened to Merry and Pippin.
4. Nobody, Neil Gaiman’s Graveyard Book.  To be honest I really thought we might hear more about what happened to Bod.
5. Mowgli from Rudyard Kipling’s Jungle Book.
6. Christopher from The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night by Mark Haddon – it would be interesting to read another tale from Christopher and gain a little more of his perspective.
7. Melanie from the Girl With all the Gifts by M R Carey – I am curious.  Or maybe I just want to read more from this particular alternative world.
8. Katsa from Kristin Cashore’s Graceline – I really enjoyed this world and the character of Katsa.
9. Judith from All the Truth That’s in Me by Julie Berry.  I loved this book and would gladly return.
10. I have to go here – Kvothe, Patrick Rothfuss – yes, I so want to read more about what happens to Kvothe.  If any one wants to throw me a line and let me know when the third book will be out then please do so!
