Leave a comment with the answer to the following question: What Literary Character would you like to invite to Christmas Dinner?
*Be sure to leave your email address in case you win.

My answer? I'm going to go traditional and choose Scrooge. I would love to talk personally with the famous miser and hear about his experiences with the ghosts and the lessons he learned. When some presidential candidates start sounding like the pre-redemption Ebenezer, it seems timely.

  2. I'd like to invite my own character, Jay, from Off Leash, my young 15 year-old teen and treat him to a great Xmas meal - one he's missed for 15 yrs because of his uncaring mother.

  3. Tiny Tim would be a wonderful dinner guest. So sweet and upbeat.

    As to Jay, I've just started reading Off Leash and I can see he would be a worthy christmas dinner guest.

  4. Ingrid Magnussen (the mother) in Janet Fitch's WHITE OLEANDER. Even though she did a wicked thing, she's a fascinating character.

  5. I would also choose Scrooge, hopefully the first part of the meal he would be the bad Scrooge and at the end of the meal he would have learned his lesson.

  6. To K.E.: I'd have a hard time not calling Ingrid out during dinner so I probably couldn't have her as my guest. I don't like to be rude.

    To JoanneR: Good suggestion for Scrooge. Seeing both sides would be cool.

  7. I'd love to chat with Elizabeth Bennet, from "Pride & Prejudice." We could talk about books, what it's like to crush on Mr. Darcy, and how she feels about fighting zombies. ;)

  8. I love to talk to Harry Dresdan because I think he would definitely have some more great stories to tell!

  12. Nedraw: I love the Dresden books too. He would be a fascinating guest.

    Wanda: I'd be a little concerned that Acheron's mother would crash the party.

    Deanna: The Mad Hatter would certainly cause a stir at any gathering. LOL.

  13. Wow there are so many great characters that I have read about that i would love to have over for dinner, however I think I would really enjoy someone I look up to and is somewhat real or should I say did exist but her story has been made into fairy tales.

    I would love to have Boudica over - she is an amazing person, a fierce warrior, and a true leader. A woman I truely admire and would love to be like. I would love to ask her how she truly felt towards the roman soldiers.

    Merry Christmas

  14. Which literary character would I have over for Christmas Lunch? I think I'd have to get someone like Atticus O'Sullivan from Kevin Hearne's Iron Druid Trilogy. This is purely for the fact that he's been around for a few thousand years. Oh the stories he could tell.

  15. What literary character would I have over for Christmas lunch? It would probably be Sherlock Holmes, a very complex individual for sure.

  16. Jean: Sherlock would certainly be an interesting guest. No doubt he would analyze every nuance of the family dynamic.

    Falcata:I haven't read the Druid Trilogy but you've intrigued me.

    Ronda: Boudica would be an amazing guest to have. Perhaps she would have some advice for women of today.

    Thanks for stopping by. P.R. Mason

  20. I would invite the grinch. Would love to hear about how he changed his ways! Tayentsminger@gmail.com

    ReplyDelete
  21. Hi @PetietheCat I love that you agree with me on Scrooge. Smooches from Confucius Cat.

    Taylor: I think the Grinch would be a fabulous guest...particularly if he would bring his cute dog with him.

  24. I think I must be a very disturbed individual - I would invited my favorite werewolf crush, Daniel Kane (from The Heat by Heather Killough-Walden) before he met his mate, Lily. So he could spend the evening seducing me with his blue eyes, black hair, amazing body and alpha maleness. Oh yeah, I'm a slut, lol
    Happy Holidays!

  27. Hillary: Stephanie Plum would definitely cause a commotion I'm sure, particularly if Grandma Mazur crashed the party.

    Shelley B: I love the idea of inviting Elizabeth...particularly if she would bring Darcy with her.
