This week’s topic is –
Top Ten Characters You Wish Would Get Their Own Book
1. & 2 from Harry Potter–
Sirius Black and Albus Dumbledore
Wouldn’t you love to know more about when Sirius meets James, or gets kicked out of the house by his crazy mother? And what was Albus like as a kid? Was he a know it all?
3. from Macbeth
The Weird Sisters
These ladies are awesome- and pretty funny.
4. from Rebecca
Mrs. Danvers
How did old Danny get so attached to Rebecca and why?
5. & 6. from Lord of the Rings
Tom Bombadil and Legolas
I can’t even explain who Bombadil is- he just always was. Legolas now looks like Orlando Bloom in my mind, so of course I want more.
7. from To Kill a Mockingbird
Miss Maudie Atkinson
Why is she so nice? Why isn’t she married? Will she marry Atticus? Buy Scout a dress?
8. from The Stand
Ralph Bretner
We know more about the others who head West, but not much about Ralph. Who was he before the plague?
9. from Gone With the Wind
Ellen Robiard O’Hara
How did this elegant woman marry Gerald O’Hara? How did she produce a child like Scarlet?
10. from Jane Eyre
Bertha Mason
I need to know more about this crazy beauty. Was she ever sane? Did she want to marry Edward?
Turn the Page Reviews 
I particularly love the inclusion of The Weird Sisters on your list – great post!
Fun list! There is a book called The Weird Sisters that has nothing to do with Hamlet (or Harry Potter, for that matter), but it is a great read! Also, you should read Wide Sargasso Sea, which is all about the background of Bertha Mason. It may ruin your good opinion of Rochester, though, if you have a good opinion of him.
Wow, fabulous list. Ellen O’Hara is a great choice — I’d absolutely love to know more of her backstory. Sirius Black is on my list as well (love him!), and I’d definitely read more about any of the LOTR characters.
I love your choices! You have me intrigued now about a Bertha Mason story. 🙂

Seconding miathereader’s recommendation of Wide Sargasso Sea; it’s totally different in style and tone, but definitely worth a read if you’re interested in Bertha.
Thanks! Will put it on my list.
