Top Ten Tuesday – Top 10 Fictional Characters I Love to Hate
Top Ten Tuesday is a fun weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s topic is All About the Villains – (top ten favorite/most compelling villains in books, top ten of the most vile villains/bad guys in books, top ten villains I secretly (or not so secretly) love, favorite TV villains, favorite comic book villains, ten “villains” of contemporary lit. My list is a bit of a hodge podge in the sense that although these are my favorite villains from literature, I also love the movie versions of each book, which is why I used the movie photos for my visuals. It’s also a hodge podge in that I spread my villains out across various genres. These are characters I love to hate from all walks of literature – from the creepy and the conniving to the ruthless and the roguish. And let’s, of course, not forget that pink nightmare from the Harry Potter series, haha!
