Welcome readers,
writers, authors, and bloggers!
We're glad you're here!
It's the First Wednesday of the month; when we celebrate IWSG Day in the form of a blog hop featuring members and guests of
the Insecure Writer's Support Group. Founded by author Alex Cavanaugh (Thank
you, Captain!) and fostered by like-minded associates, IWSG is a comfortable
place to share our views and literary news as we record our journeys. Check out our
latest newsletter here.
Our awesome co-hosts this month are: Jennifer Lane, L Diane Wolfe, Jenni Enzor, and Natalie Aguirre!
The optional question(s) for this month is: What fantasy
character would you like to fight, go on a quest with, or have a beer/glass of
wine with?
What a fun question!
Billy Summers (a character in a novel by Stephen King) is a professional hitman who only kills bad guys and is on his last “hit” before his long-awaited retirement. But something feels off about this last assignment, and he tells his boss as much. While Billy is a really nice guy (for a hitman), Nick, his boss, is not. Throughout the story, I was convinced that somebody should follow him around to ensure nothing terrible happened to him.
Myron Bolitar (Protag in a series by Harlan Coben) is a sports agent with a law degree and clients who often require him to acquire detective skills. Yet, he manages to solve mysteries and save his clients and himself with the help of his anti-hero best friend and business partner, Win, who most people tend to dislike on sight for his money and good looks. For Myron, any reason is a reason to celebrate anything with his favorite childhood drink. I could get used to YooHoos :-)
Poison For Breakfast (Lemony Snicket) This poor guy has a series of uncertain days of soul-searching after receiving a cryptic note under his door one morning. But
who eats toast and cheese for breakfast?
That's all from me today. Happy IWSG Day, and have a wonderful April!
I remember YooHoos. Haven't had one in years...
ReplyDeleteI haven't either. Now I want one ;-) Thanks for visiting, Captain.
DeleteMyron Bolitar sounds interesting. And no, I haven't had toast and cheese for breakfast.
ReplyDeleteHi Natalie!
DeleteNot my usual reading style, but once I started the series it was impossible to stop!
And, thanks for co-hosting, Natalie ;-)
DeleteMyron - such an unusual name! First time I've heard of him.
ReplyDeleteCome to think of it, it's a first for me as well:-) Thanks for visiting - and for co-hosting!
DeleteI didn't know what a YooHoo was. So I asked AI. Here's the reply, "Yoo-hoo" is a popular American chocolate-flavored beverage that doesn't actually contain milk. It's been around since 1928.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your description of Myron Bolitar. Now I realized why you would ask him, “Can I come along?”
Hi Lynn!
Delete1928?! Wow. It's a great series!
Well, you have chosen a nice variety of characters to associate with.
