Note: The original topic was "Top Ten Authors that Should be on a Reality T.V. Show and which one", but Meredith and I don't watch much reality T.V so I altered it a little bit.


This Weeks Topic Is .......

 Top Ten Book Characters That Could Play The Role of a Character on a T.V. Show

1. Leo Borlock from Stargirl= Kevin Arnold from the Wonder Years: Leo Borlock could play Kevin Arnold from The Wonder Years. Kevin is normally very nice, somewhat popular, but he always wants to keep his reputation up. Kevin is an exact mirror of Leo Borlock. Leo was mostly nice, but based what he did off of what would maintain his popularity

2. Hermione Granger from Harry Potter = Alex Dunphy from Modern Family: Both of these characters are extremely intelligent. Hermione is a little bit more likable than Alex (in my opinion), but they definitely share the braniac quality. 


3. Peeta from The Hunger Games = Landry Clarke from Friday Night Lights: Peeta and Landry are both incredibly sweet. They both go to great lengths to please and love their loved ones. Peeta and Landry also share a sense of humor.

4. Hilary Kimble from Stargirl = Lila Garrity from Friday Night Lights: Hilary Kimble and Lila Garrity are both the somewhat fraud popular girls in their school. Although Hilary isn't nearly as seedy as Lila Garrity, their vibe is similar.

5. Stargirl from Stargirl = Sue Heck from The Middle: Both Sue and Stargirl don't care about what other people think of them, and they are oblivious to what people think of them. Sue and Stargirl are both full of school spirit as well. Stargirl would be a great Sue Heck.

 6. Payton Gritas from Sean Griswold's Head as Alex Dunphy on Modern Family- So I have a different Alex Dunphy (I just love Alex) and that is Payton Gritas. First of all, when I picture Payton in my head,  a girl that looks similar to Alex Dunphy comes to mind. Also, both are very smart, which plays a key roll in their lives. ;)

 7. Cammie Morgan from The Gallagher Girl Series as Veronica Mars on Veronica Mars The Show- Both are spies, both have simple names, both are pretty awesome. I just think that they sort of fit together. Like when I think of the word spy, I think of Cammie Morgan and Veronica Mars.

 8. Katarina Bishop from Heist Society as Black Widow from The Avengers- So technically this is a comic book (and now a super duper mega epic awesome movie), but whenever I saw The Avengers last weekend (It was AMAZING!!) and Black Widow came out (her first scene is awesome) I thought of Kat from Heist Society. Both are very agile and stealthy and just really powerful women.

 9. Lola Nolan from Lola and the Boy Next Door as Sybil Crawley from Downton Abbey- For some reason they kind of remind me of each other. Maybe because they're both portrayed as young but trying to be older, or how they both rebel a bit from their parents but are still trying to do good. They're also both a little different than the rest of their societies, but nonetheless, very fabulous!


 10. Maggie Dempsey from How Not to Be Popular as Haley Dunphy from Modern Family- Now Maggie is much smarter than Haley, who is rather gullable, but what makes them similar to me, is the way that they both argue and are embarrassed by their parents. Also, their last names are kind of similar, which I just realized today. ;)

  4. What a fun way to switch up the topic! I really liked your Friday Night Lights and Modern Family comparisons (those are two of my favorite shows) and now I have even more books to add to my TBR! Great lists!
