Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly bookish meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl that features a different bookish topic every week.
Today’s topic is a Characters I’d Like to go on Vacation With. I had to really think about this one. There are many characters I love, but not necessarily for going on vacation with. Some I’d happily go on adventures or quests with, or if I’m escaping from prison or running a heist or killing monsters, but for a nice, relaxing vacation? Hmm…
Top Ten Characters I’d Like to Go on Vacation With
- Ren, Gray, and Vargo from The Rook and Rose series – I love them so much and I would so love to hang out with them doing whatever. Maybe reading pattern together or tarot cards, telling fortunes for fun, or just having drinks together. I think they can be chill and fun companions for a vacation.
- Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables – I can imagine just sitting at a nice breezy cottage reading side by side with Anne, maybe going on walks enjoying the scenery, picking flowers, making up whimsical stories and fairy tales together. This could be such a nice, relaxing vacation.
- Viv, Tandri, and Thimble from Legends & Lattes – Honestly, I don’t so much want to go on vacation with them, as much as I want to go on vacation to them. I’d love to visit Viv’s cafe, drink some coffee, have some of Thimble’s delicious baked goods, hang out and get to know the regulars, listen to the bard playing music, play chess with the old man even though I can’t play chess, try to pet Amity. And I’d love to chat and become friends with Viv, Tandri, and Thimble if he’ll talk to me!
- Rocky from Project Hail Mary – I could take or leave Ryland Grace, but I’d love to go on vacation with Rocky. I think he would be such a fun companion, and I wouldn’t even mind that he watches me while I sleep, and of course I’d return the favor. I think we’d have fun conversations, maybe develop a few inside jokes, and I know I’d love learning more about him.
- The Wayfarer crew from The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet – I don’t know what kind of vacation we’d be having, but I just really want to hang out with them and be a part of their vibe. I love how they get along with each other, respect each other, learn from each other. I think there might be a couple of them I’d get annoyed with while on vacation, but I’d still want to be there with all of them.
Have you read any of these books? Did you like the characters? Would you go on vacation with them?
Much as I adore the 80s Anne movies, I don’t think I’ve read the novels. I do love Anne as a character so I should read the books someday. 🙂
I loved the books and the movies! They were both such a huge part of my childhood. I hope you enjoy the books when you read them!
Rocky from Hail Mary would be a difficult vacation partner but so fun. Anne with an E would be so positive.
You’re right, the initial getting to know each other and learning how to communicate would be tough, but once that hurdle’s over I think we’d have fun!
Anne Shirley seems a popular choice this week
I’m not surprised! She’s amazing!
A great looking list! I want to read Anne of Green Gables.
Have a great week!

I hope you do and that you like it!
I would like to go on a vacation to Viv’s Cafe too!
Yes! I love the vibes so much!
Omg, yes! Viv’s place 😍 I went rogue today and featured fictional places I’d love to visit and Legends & Lattes made my list, lol. I’ve got the others on my TBR but hoping to read at least one of them this year! Great list 🙂
Viv’s world is a must! I think I’d love it there.
Ooh, Rocky is a great pick!
Here is my Top Ten Tuesday.
I love Rocky!
It does sound like it would be relaxing to vacation with Anne. Nice list!
I think I’d love a vacation with Anne!
I struggled with this topic. I loved Anne of Green Gables as a kid and it is one I have wanted to read as an adult to see if I would still enjoy it.
I hope it turns out to be just as wonderful if not more for you now.
Anne would certainly make a vacation interesting! My TTT
I’m sure she would!
Oooh, good point! Viv and company have a great tavern that we could visit on vacation.
Here’s my TTT rhis week: https://bookwyrmknits.com/2024/04/16/top-ten-tuesday-come-sail-away/
Yes, my thoughts exactly!
I would LOVE to try some of Thimble’s baked goodies!

I love Rocky! He’s such a great character. I would go on vacation (or on a long space voyage) with him for sure.
Happy TTT!

He is one of my favorite characters! I love him!
This is the second list I’ve seen Anne pop up, she’s such a strong contender!
She’s the best!
Great choices! I definitely agree with the Legend and Lattes crew. It would be such a relaxing time with them!!
It would be so wonderful, I can just imagine it!
Your choice of vacation destination with Anne Shirley sounds so lovely <3
Yes, I wish I was there now!
I’d love to go vacation at Viv’s cafe and try all of Thimble’s amazing baked goods too 🙂
Me too!! Drooling just thinking about it!
