Of all the books I've read this year, my least favorite character would have to be President Coin from Mockingjay. Despite pretending to be fighting for justice, President Coin is just as bad as President Snow, who is another awful character from this series. She plans to make another Hunger Games, even though one of the main points of overthrowing the previous government was to abolish the games once and for all. Overall, President Coin's actions make her a truly despicable person.
My favorite character from any book this year would have to be Terra from North of Beautiful. Terra is extremely realistic, complex, and goes on an emotional self discovery by the end of the book. Terra has both flaws and talent that she herself does not realize which makes her a great book character. She also has a mix of horrible and sweet family members that add to what makes Terra interesting to read about. Terra's story is touching which is what makes her a fantastic character.
Those two are my least favorite and favorite characters from this year. I don't have any questions this week.

Blog Post #4
This week I read Where She Went by Gayle Foreman. Where She Went is the sequel to If I Stay. This is a realistic fiction novel that I highly recommend. Since If I Stay has more main characters than Where She Went, I will choose the cast for the first book of the series. If I were a casting director, these are the actors and actresses I would choose to play the main characters:
Alexis Bledel as Mia: Alexis Bledel has many of the same physical characteristics as Mia. She also is shy, which Mia is known for. Alexis Bledel would be able to deal with the emotional side of Mia who is at the brink of death throughout the novel and must decide if she should stay alive or just let go.
Johnny Pacar as Adam: Adam is a singer and songwriter in If I Stay. Johnny Pacar plays a similar role on the TV show Make it or Break It. Therefore, I think Pacar would be able to easily act the role as Adam. Plus, since Adam is Mia's boyfriend, Johnny Pacar has experience playing someone in a relationship.
Bradley Cooper as Mia's Dad: Mia's dad and Bradley Cooper both share a good sense of humor. I think Bradley Cooper has the same physical features as Mia's dad and would be able to play a warm, friendly, and funny guy.
Bryce Robinson as Teddy: Teddy is Mia's little brother who is kind and loving towards Mia. Bryce Robinson would be able to convey this role convincingly because he has had similar roles that involve being a part of a loving family.
Those are the actors and actresses I would choose for the characters in If I Stay. I don't have any questions this week.
