Five Characters With Whom I Would Trade Places

Believe it or not, this Top Ten Tuesday topic was a little tough for me! I love reading, but usually I only think about trading places with a character in two situations: 1) If I *really* relate to them, or 2) If I really *don't* relate to them. Haha! Mostly I'm observing when I'm reading, not putting myself into the story's world. And since Characters I Relate To is actually an upcoming topic, I couldn't choose those characters for this one, so I gave it some thought and I did come up with a few whose shoes I wouldn't mind filling for a day or two. 🙂

  Catherine Morland from "Northanger Abbey" by Jane Austen
I'm not even going to pretend - my main reason for wanting to trade places with Catherine has everything to do with the Austen hero from this story: Henry Tilney. 😍 I love his wit and his care for his family and friends.

  Feather Trailer-Hobbs from The Lewis & Clark Squad Series by Stephen Bly
Feather is the only girl playing in a boys' 3-on-3 basketball league. She's got good friends and a budding faith. This is a great series for teens or preteens, and has been a personal favorite for more than 20 years. 

  Elnora Comstock from "A Girl of the Limberlost" by Gene Stratton-Porter
Her beautiful heart shining through every heartache, Elnora seems like an ideal woman. She handles life's challenges with ingenuity, hard work, and grace. She's also talented in many different ways!

  Emily Webster from "Emily of Deep Valley" by Maud Hart Lovelace
Emily knows about making sacrifices, about having to muster her wits when life doesn't go according to plan. She is a truly inspirational character while still being very real. 

  Allie Kyle from "Flabbergasted" by Ray Blackston
She lives in an exotic location, she loves Jesus, and she maintains a level of cool while still being incredibly down-to-earth. Plus I'd love to see Jay Jarvis in real life - that would be a hoot!
