Surprisingly, I didn’t have to substitute any Top Ten Tuesday prompts with an Alphabetical post this month. So I decided to share one today instead.
Rules:
- Credit Alex for the idea, and link back
- Post at your own pace, do as many or as few letters as you want
- Post your favourite authors, books and characters (ABCs) for a particular letter of the alphabet
“Q” is a hard one, people. I managed to find several books and characters that began with the letter Q, but I couldn’t find any authors I’ve read or want to read that begin with the letter Q. I even checked first names and middle initials and couldn’t find anybody. I don’t know if that means I failed on this letter or what. Here are the books and characters I like that begin with the letter Q.
Book
The Queen of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner: I didn’t expect to like this book so much, and I’m angry I waited so long to actually read it. There were so many twists and turns and I just love Gen so much.
The Queens of Innis Lear by Tessa Gratton: This book was long and dense, but it was so much better than the original Shakespeare play. I actually had reason to care about the characters, and the fantasy world-building was incredible.
Quiet Girl in a Noisy World: An Introvert’s Story by Debbie Tung: If anybody ever asks to read a book to understand who I am, I’m referring them to this book. This is my life. Debbie even has the same personality type as me.
Character
Quigley Quagmire from A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket: Other than the main characters, Quigley is clearly one of the best characters from this series. He’s resourceful and smart, and I love the hint of something more between him and Violet.
Ramona Quimby from the Ramona Quimby series by Beverly Cleary: Growing up, I wished I could have been as crazy and rambunctious as Ramona. I read this series more times than I can count, and it’s all because of how fun Ramona is. She’s great.
What authors, books, and characters do you love that begin with the letter Q? Anybody know a good author that does?

I’ve been working on my Q list, and coming up with a lot of blanks! I hadn’t remembered about Ramona’s last name starting with Q, though.

Q is hard! It might even be harder than X for me. And I only remembered Ramona because I cheated and looked up literary characters and saw her on a list.

LOL, I had to cheat and looked up characters too, but I didn’t see her on that list. I guess I was looking at the wrong list. 😉

I looked through quite a few lists until I finally found her. xD Then I realized I had her on my list for the letter R and I’ll have to change it!

At least R should be easier to find characters for! 😀
