TTT – Characters I Would Like to Have Coffee and a Chat With

On By Erin @ Cracker Crumb LifeIn Uncategorized

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl

Today’s Prompt: Relationship Freebie (Pick a relationship type and choose characters who fit that relationship as it relates to you. So, characters you’d like to date, be friends with, be enemies with, etc. Bookish families you’d like to be a part of, characters you’d want as your siblings, pets you’d like to take for yourself, etc.)

Ok. So I know that my title is super long. I really couldn’t figure out how to say it in a more efficient way. Some of them have cozy sounding lives and jobs that would be a perfect spot to hang out with them, have a coffee, a chat about books or life or whatever. Other characters just would be neat to chat with about whatever! And..maybe this post turned out to be more setting than character. I am going to call it equal though – both character and setting are appealing!

Legends and Lattes || Welcome to the Hyunam-Dong Bookshop

I absolutely loved Legends and Lattes and the quirky community that Viv built up in her coffeeshop. It would be a cool spot to hang out and talk to Viv about her adventures and coffee.

Yeongju’s bookshop is the same. She created such a wonderful spot for people to come together and feel comfortable, to read and drink coffee and even crochet.

Other Birds || Christa Comes Out of her Shell

Other Birds is one of my favorite books. I love it so much. Can I please please go to the Dellawisp on Mallow Island, and have a drink with all the people who live there?

So, Christa is a bit antisocial so I would probably have to track her down on her island to chat. But that is ok, because then I could walk the beach with her and learn all about her beloved snails! I love snails too and I would love to hear all the little facts that Christa could share about sea life.

What You Are Looking For in the Library || The Komogawa Food Detectives

Sayuri Komachi. Need I say more? I would love to get tea with her and craft. She can make her felted pieces and I could embroider, and then we could talk about books. I wonder what she would recommend to me?

Koishi Kamogawa and her father Nagare from the Kamogawa Food Detectives. This book was really fascinating. I loved this idea of recreating a particular meal, and how Koishi and her father are able to piece together exactly how to make it is masterful. I could imagine stumbling in there, having a cup of tea and a bowl of noodles and chatting away.

And I am going to stop here. I had some runners up, but.. I was going for a certain feel of a character and place with this topic and they didn’t quite fit. If you are interested, the runners up were Greenglass House, Little Beach Street Bakery, The Little French Bistro, and The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend. All wonderful books but just not quite there. Except maybe Little Beach Street and that is purely because Neil the puffin is awesome and I would want to meet him. (I almost chose to write about pets from books and Neil was on that list too)

Ok. Now I am really stopping. I am looking forward to what everyone else picked for this topic!

  20. I love your post! You’re right – it does kind of create a found family for yourself too. And while I haven’t read most of these, now I’m questioning why I’m not on the Japanese fiction bandwagon, since so many people seem to be loving them. I would love to pop into have coffee and chat with Viv and the rest of the crew from Legends and Lattes though!
