Road Trip Wednesday: Literary Christmas Presents

YA Highway's Road Trip Wednesday question this week is "What would you give your favourite characters for Christmas, and why? Would you give Harry Potter contact lenses? Bella Swan a copy of He's Just Not That Into You? Or maybe a lifetime supply of cherry cola to Bianca Piper, so she always has something to throw at guys who don't behave?"

I'm quite partial to giving Bianca Piper a lifetime supply of Cherry Coke, I LOVED that scene. :D

I'm sitting in my bedroom at home scanning over all the book titles on my shelves and thinking about what I'd want to give the characters for Christmas. Mostly it's been going like this:

Jacob Reckless... he needs a hug... he might not appreciate it, but he needs one. Rose and the White Bear? Hugs. Both Will Graysons? Hugs. Gemma Doyle? Lots of hugs - especially if I meet her post-book-three (I'm not the only one who cried, am I?).

This coming from someone who is rather new at this whole hugging thing. Clearly a lot of people in my favorite books really really need hugs.

But I think John Green's Paper Towns provides an opportunity for actual gift-giving.

I would give Margo Roth Spiegelman a new notebook, for when she runs out of space writing over everything in the first one. (Also a hug.)

And Q? Q would get a GPS. (And a hug. Maybe several hugs. He'd probably just push me away and keep looking for Margo, but he'd get the hugs anyway.)

It seems my roommate has well and truly turned me into a hugger. :P

Merry Christmas, everybody!
