Whichever works for you but be sure to leave a link to where I can find your entry.

So, I'm sending Karou, from the Daughter of Smoke and Bone series, and Christian, from the Unearthly series, on a date.
ReplyDeleteWhere...? To do what...? They are going to a bowling alley. You know, this is Christian we're talking about, this date can only suck.
Why? Well, I think they make a great couple because she only needs to raise her hands to inflict him pain.
Yes, this is my serious answer.
Thanks for the challenge & the giveaway ^^

I am going to send Atticus from To Kill A Mockingbird on a date with Marilla Cuthbert of Anne of Green Gables. i think these two need a little love in their life and I am going to send them to the city for dinner and a show.

ReplyDeleteLet's see... I would send Anna from Patricia Briggs' books and Ven from "God Save the Queen" by Kate Locke on a date. They're both werewolves, but from different worlds.
I would send them here, because everyone needs a beach getaway. Maybe they could watch dolphins or just watch the waves and relax.
I think they would get along because Ven is a very caring guy, and Anna could have used someone like him when her character was introduced to readers. Her mate, Charles IS a great guy, but he was hard for her to get used to at first, and I think Ven is much friendlier.
Great challenge! My answer is here :)

You know what? I have my The Farseer Trilogy's books (by Robin Hobb) right in front of me, and if there is someone who needs a break is Fitz, the main character. Poor guy, everything bad happens to him and he is sometimes in a depressing mood as a result. I'm sending him on a date with Izzy Lockwood from the Mortal Instruments books by Cassandra Clare, because Izzy is not prone to feeling sorry for herself and she would snap Fitz out of it.
ReplyDeleteI would send them to a nice restaurant, because I think Izzy would appreciate the value of good food and good conversation, but the date would soon get off the track when they started discussing the mortal and devious uses cutlery could have. Next thing I know, they end the night playing paintball, of all things. I think it could let them blow off some steam from their very stressful lives.

Thanks for hosting!
Cole from Everneath with Charlene from Entangled. They are both good "villains" - they would go...hmm...I feel like they would go to a concert of HIS. He's kind of full of himself and Charlene would totally love dating someone who is "famous"
ReplyDeleteAwesome challenge - I'm in the US
Echo from Pushing the Limits and Kayden from The Coincidence of Callie and Kayden. They're both scarred from their pasts and need someone to help them. They'd go hiking. :P Kayden would get a kick out of that one.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway (:
