Who are some of your favorite characters?
I’m just finishing Guy Johnson’s Echoes of a Distant Summer, the sequel to Standing at the Scratch Line and King Tremain is one of my current favorites. I’ve had Echoes for about a year and just now read it because I knew I was going to need some extra strength to read all that action and drama – and I was right. Whew! Scratch Line is on my all time favorite list.
Mama Ruby is another favorite from Mary Monroe’s The Upper Room. That is one c-r-a-z-y woman!
My son says Walter Mosley’s Mouse is his favorite.

Mama Ruby is also one of my favorites. Crazy ain't the word. LOL
I keep falling in love with Lolita Files' sistah characters...Reesy and Misty in her sequels.
The main female character in Brian Keith Jackson's The Queen of Harlem was also one of my favorite chracters. She kept me guessing until the very end. LOL |

Mama Ruby without a doubt!!! Another favorite is Gloria Mallette's grandmother in Weeping Willows Dance. She showed tremendous strength. |

Walter Mosley's Mouse is one of my favorite characters. Missed him while he was gone.
Daddy Al in Nichelle Tramble's The Last King and The Dying Ground.
The paternal aunt in Purple Hibiscus. Can't think of the character name but I liked the way she was written.
There are more but I can't think of any.
