This week's discussion is:
Who are your all-time favourite male & female characters and why?
My favourite male character will be no surprise to those of you who regularly stop by my blog. Of course it is Thomas Mackee from The Piper's Son and Saving Francesca.
Some other notable mentions are: Etienne St Clair from Anna and The French Kiss and Peeta from The Hunger Games.
Picking my favourite female character was a little tougher. But after careful consideration it has to Katniss from The Hunger Games.
So many reason why I love her - strong, loyal, smart, determined, fierce and so much heart. She doesn't need anyone to save her, she is the kind of girl who saves herself and everyone else while she is at it. And most of all Katniss is an INSPIRING character. She makes you want to be a better person.
Some other notable mentions are: Carly from Raw Blue and DJ from The Dairy Queen.
I would love to hear who your favourite male and female characters are? And don't forget to stop by Melissa blog, I Swim For Oceans.

I completely agree with Katniss - what a strong character!
My all time favourite characters are Margaret and John Thornton from North and South.
love this post, and yes yes yes yes yes to Tom and Katniss. Completely agree with you on those two fronts, and I just ordered Anna and i think im reading Raw Blue soon... so... high hopes ;) And cheers for DJ, i loove her character!
I have a lot of favourite characters. My favourites are Emma, Mr. Knightley, Carrie Pilby from the Carry Pilby book and also Gabriel from Crave. :)
Okay seriously, I need to get my behind in gear and read some Marchetta, I want to meet Thomas! And I adored Katniss, that series will always be a favorite of mine. Fabulous choices Nic:)
I'm really looking forward to reading The Hunger Games. I think I'm going to like Katniss a lot.
"The guacamole was a mistake."
Mackee is always on my mind!
And Katnis, Peeta, and Carly are all incredible characters.
Gosh, it is hard to pick a favorite character. I really have to think about this.
Katniss being inspiring is exactly how I think of her!
I am so sorry to say that I don't know either of the characters you call your favorites. Of course I've heard of Katniss, but I haven't gotten into the Hunger Games yet. But I do think in time, that I will be reading them. I don't feel like I can be a real blogger without reading them! There are just some series you have to read!

Oh! Tom is such an awesome character! Very worthy of the title of favorite!! :D Great pick.
Yesss...Katniss is awesome! She would be someone Id want with me in a fight..or zombie take over...or something like that! :P
i'm wasn't a big fan of thomas mackee in saving francesca, but i think he'd be better in his own book. i'm looking forward to reading it. :)
I didn't realise Tom had his own book - adding it to my TBR pile - thanks!

ooh such great picks. I adore Tom and Katniss is wonderful.
I have so many but definitely Francesca from Saving Francesca, Lyra and Will from His Dark Materials and Hermione from Harry P and Amy from Secret Society Girls - so many greta characters out there.
I still haven't read The Hunger Games nor have I read Marchetta's books though I've heard awesome things about them. Must find some time to read all these amazing books!
I really LOVE Peeta!!! If I had a bf I would want him to be exactly like Peeta!!! I also agree with the choice of Katniss!
