12 Days of Literary Christmas
Thursday, December 29, 2011 by Leia / Rome
I know it's way past Christmas and about a few nights short of 2012 but I found this meme fun enough that I don't care. I'm still on my Holiday mode, that's my excuse. :P
Before I share my answers to the meme, I'd like to give a little background on how this started.
My friend, Meann Ortiz, started this on her blog after coming across this question on her Twitter feed:
What Christmas gift would you want to give your favorite literary character?
This inspired her to create the meme, which I came across during one of my out-of-work-mode moments. Her blog post, which I found creative and cool, contained characters and authors from her 2011 Read List on Goodreads. Since I'm also on Goodreads and having exceeded my 2011 Reading Challenge, I figured I had enough characters in my arsenal to give imaginary gifts... Hello, Beauty Queens! ;)
So, without further ado, here is my response to the 12 Days of Literary Christmas meme:
