Hello everyone! You know the drill, we’re halfway through the week, the weekend is in sight and I’m back today with a post inspired by the lovely Sally @salboreads who did some character pairings. That is, characters from different books who you think go well together. From The Observations, Bessy Buckley, a feisty young Irish maid and in Fingersmith, Sue Trinder, who becomes a ladies maid as part of an elaborate scheme. I think both these girls would find similarities between each other and could even learn things from the other! From The First Fifteen Lives Of Harry August, the title character Harry August and from Life After Life, Ursula Todd. Both are time travellers and could have a lot to talk about sharing their experiences and able to understand exactly what the other goes through. From Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth Bennet and from Tess of the D’Urbervilles, Tess D’Urberville. I can imagine these ladies taking long walks together and Elizabeth bringing a bit of humour and light into Tess’ life which if you’ve read the book, you can understand why she might need it! 😂 This was fun! Tagging anyone who’d like to play or let me know in the comments - what character pairings would you choose? #bookstagram #scottishbookstagrammer #instagrambookchallenge #characterpairings #theobservations #janeharris #fingersmith #sarahwaters #bessybuckley #suetrinder #thefirstfifteenlivesofharryaugust #harryaugust #lifeafterlife #kateatkinson #clairenorth #ursulatodd #prideandprejudice #janeausten #elizabethbennet #tessofthedurbervilles #thomashardy #tessdurberville https://www.instagram.com/p/CiNqmyarrbA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

If you want to request something, head to the ask box and post you're request. I would like to to ask that you be specific on what character(s) you want, what kind of writing request, and fandom it’s from. :D

For the record, I will write shorts that would change what happened later in canon. But I already have one “let’s re-write AOS around this” fic in progress and I have no intention of writing another!
