Follw Friday: A Match Made in….Definitely Not Heaven

Q: You are a matchmaker — your goal, hook up two characters from two of your favorite books. Who would it be? How do you think it would go?

My first thought is that Harry Dresden (Dresden Files; Jim Butcher) really needs someone after all these books. He’s had a few girlfriends here and there, but none have lasted, and he strikes me as a lasting sort of guy — if you can put up with his dark sense of humor. The trouble is, he’s in danger so much of the time that anyone who stayed with him would run the risk of getting killed, so we’d need a super-tough chick like Mack from Karen Marie Moning’s Fever series…who is, unfortunately, already spoken for. (The guy in question is a bit of an ass, but by the time they get together, so is she….it’s really very good….highly recommend! 🙂 ) So what I need is a tough chick who is either not spoken for or is with someone I’d rather she not be with….Hermione Granger? (Sorry Ron, but I’ve never felt it.) Of course, Harry would never put up with her know-it-allness. Or would he? He puts up with Bob. (The talking skull, for those who haven’t read the series.)

Wait, I have it! Never mind Harry, but let’s stick with another character from the same series: Let’s hook up Thomas, an incubus (male succubus) with Belle from Twilight. She likes vampires, right? 🙂

For the record, I highly recommend the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher, starting at book 3 (the first two aren’t great). As for Twilight…well…we’ve all got our preferences. 🙂

(I do believe that answer was just a little bit evil. Didn’t know I had it in me.)
