Hello! Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday (hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl). Today we’re talking about characters we’d follow on social media. I’m not sure? I have a couple of characters with Twitter accounts, but I’m not sure they’re very interesting.
Lucie Herondale (Chain of Gold): I was going to say I’d follow Cordelia Carstairs because she’s awesome, but let’s be real. I mostly follow writers on Twitter. I’m not really into gossip or things like that. So I’d probably follow Lucie to see how things are coming along on her book, The Beautiful Cordelia. I get the impression that it’s not very good, although I’d be happy to cheer her on as she writes her book and improves as an author. The only way to get better is to practice, right?
Cath Avery (Fangirl): Cath is another author I’d follow on social media. She kept her Simon Snow writings a secret, but after she graduated, she’d probably become a professional writer and her publicist would probably tell her to get a Twitter account. She might use a pen name so she could keep her identity a secret.
Wallace Warland (Eliza and Her Monsters): I don’t really follow webcomics like Monstrous Sea, but Wallace writes stories. So I’d probably follow him. He’s at the beginning of his career, and it would be cool so see him as he grows as an author.
Riley Kennedy (The Christmas Pact): Riley Kennedy works in publishing. She might have some insider tips for people like me, who would like to publish a book someday.
Katy Swartz (Obsidian): Katy is a book blogger. How could I not follow her? I’d follow her to find out about all the awesome new books coming out, and I’d root (and sympathize) for her over her personal life.
Dimple Shah (When Dimple Met Rishi): Dimple doesn’t write books, but she is a computer programmer. My major in college was computer science, so I might follow her to see how her career is going.
Emika Chen (Warcross): Emika is another computer programmer. Plus, she works for Henka Games, so I’m sure she’d share news on new technological developments with her followers. I’m sure her tweets would be worthwhile reading.
Gin Hartson (Crow Flight): Gin is another computer programmer. She might have something interesting to say about apps or technology. She’d be worth a follow.
Cara (Divergent): I’m sure a lot of people would be following Tris and Four, but I think I’d find Cara’s posts to be much more interesting. She’s Erudite like I am, so I’d probably enjoy what she had to say on different topics. Plus, she’s not like most of the Erudite people who think they’re too good to help the factionless.
Corrie Ten Boom (The Hiding Place): Corrie was a real person, so I guess this is an anomaly for this list, but she died in 1983 so maybe she can count? Anyway, I ran out of other ideas. But I’d follow Corrie because she believed in forgiveness and in helping other people. I follow a few political/news figures on Twitter and the ones I care about most follow this philosophy. I follow Operation Underground Railroad, which rescues people from sex trafficking and slavery, which I think Corrie would also follow if she was still alive today.
So those are nine characters (and one historical person) that I’d follow on social media. Who would you follow on social media? Next week we’re talking about books with one word titles. See you then!
Emika for sure, and cara’s another good one. I love Erudite haha- I don’t know if it would be my faction or not (I suspect it would- I need to take a faction quiz I guess )- and Cath would be another good one. I liked how snarky Reagan was in Fangirl as well, she’s be another good one.

You should take a faction quiz. My daughter is definitely Dauntless. My boy seems to be a combination of Erudite and Amity. Not sure about my dh though.
you know what I’d like? An anon Riley Kennedy account spilling all the goings-on in a publishing house that no one wants made public.
Oooh that would be awesome! I’d follow that!
It might be hard to keep it anonymous though, and if it wasn’t anonymous, someone could lose their job.
Yes! Katy would be the perfect one to follow for bookish things. I wouldn’t mind Daemon updates either 😉

Haha probably not, but the only celebrities I tend to follow are book celebrities (authors & agents) so in reality, I probably wouldn’t.
Great list! I still haven’t read Fangirl, but I imagine Cath would be really fun to follow on social media – especially on tumblr.

I don’t do a lot of Tumblr, but sometimes authors post stories over there and I end up going over there to see them. Cath might post some snippets of her new books there!
Now I wish I could follow Katy, too!
My TTT .

Although us book bloggers do get to follow the equivalent of Katy though… without the hot alien boyfriend.
Cath!! Such a great idea!! She would have such an interesting social media presence.
She seems to be a lot like me in that she’s shy in person but is much more outgoing on paper (or computer screen).
Corrie Ten Boom is a great choice! Here is our Top Ten Tuesday
If she only lived long enough to have a Twitter account. She’d make the internet a better place.
I wouldn’t mind following Dimple. I’d follow Rishi and well.
Rishi’s pretty cool. He’s an artist which is always good.
Is anyone surprised Lucie is a writer?? Ha! Dimple is on my bookshelf waiting to be read. I’m even more excited to get to it now. <3

I just realized that was a *mild* Chain of Gold spoiler. At least one of the companion novels talks about The Beautiful Cordelia, but CoG includes some of the details from that story.
I really hope you like When Dimple Met Rishi :-).
I would follow any of Menon’s leading ladies. Dimple, Sweetie, and Twinkle were all brilliant characters. Each brought something to the table, and they could easily find a way to fill my feed

I haven’t read Twinkle yet, but they all seem so nice! And Jaya.
hehe we agree on Emika!!
🙂
I’d love to follow Cath on social media! And Emika for sure 🙂
