Question – Is There Something That, When You See It, Makes You Think Of A Book?
Marcela came up with the idea for this week’s Question and it’s a good one.
(Yes, Marcela is brilliant. ;))


How about you? Is there a kind of car that, when you see it driving down the street, makes you think of a character in a book? Is there a certain type of food that makes you think of a character? Is there something that, when you see it, makes you think of a book or a character?
Oh whow – for some reason I had a harder time with this question. I’m drawing a complete blank on items that remind me of books right now. And I know I have a lot – Heck I’ve even tried things specifically because they reminded me of fictional characters.
I do remember that I ordered a Vodka Gimlet at a bar after reading the Succubus series by Richelle Mead. 😉 That didn’t end well. I have no idea how anyone could subject themselves to THAT much sour. And I LIKE sour drinks.
Whenever I put on runners with jeans, I always think of Merit from Chloe Neill’s Chicagoland books. And naturally, pizza reminds me of her too.
I had to think about this one for a bit.
Click it lights remind me of Mac & the Fever series.
Kilts remind me of Outlander.
Big underwear remind me of a scene in Margaret Ethridge’s Commitment
Black leather pants totally the BDB series
That’s all I can remember right now.
This happens to me all the time!
Any time i see a sunburst on anything, all I think of is Mab Monroe from Jennifer Esteps Elemental Assasin series (highly recommended to all)
Sometimes even certain places remind me of books, just because I read them in that place, which is weird!
I’d like to say something smart, sadly nothing
I can’t even come up with anything…I’m so clueless!
So fun! it’s a good question, and I don’t really know… I think it’s alway some little things but not some I can’t remember now lol. But I love yours!
Jessica – Pizza is definitely a Merit thing! lol
Michelle – You are so right about the click-it lights. Good one!
Sophie – I am with you on the sunburst sign. 🙂
blodeuedd, Diane and melliane – It actually took me a little while to come up with something but once I got started, tons came to me! lol
Exellent question! Just a few things in particular come to mind in this case.
Hazelnut Coffee – The Riley Jensen series by Keri Arthur.
Black Crows – The Morrigan from The Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne (EXCELLENT series by the way)!
Knives – Elena from the Guild Hunter Series by Nalini Singh.
Red Sneakers – Max from the Moonlight Series by Nancy Gideon.
I can’t believe I just saw this question. *headdesk*
Every time I use my salad spinner I think of Granuille fron The Iron Druid series by Kevin Hearne, she said it was one of the best inventions ever and I have to agree with her.
Also when I use the Organix coconut milk products the smell reminds me of Grace from The Unidentified Redhead series by Alice Clayton.
