Top 3 Thursday: Sidekicks/Minor Characters

Happy Thursday book friends!

This week we’re looking at those gorgeous characters who make a book what it truly is – not the protagonist, but the cast of people who stand beside or behind them, fleshing out a book and making fictional worlds so fabulously full.

1. Mr J.L.B. Matekoni – The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series

Ok so I basically adore everything about this series. But Mr J.L.B. Matekoni has been an absolute gem of a human throughout the entire series. Helping at the orphanage, his patience with the apprentices, and his general demeanour make him such an endearing character.

2. Luna – Harry Potter Series

Luna is just a total sweetheart, honestly. She’s quirky and cool with it, and even though she’s off with the fairies a lot of the time, she’s always there when it counts – and the odd things she comes out with always hold some truth. Plus, that Lion hat is goals.

3. Raymond –Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine

I love how dorky and utterly himself Raymond is. It’s also incredible how he recognises Eleanor needs a friend and is more than willing to put up with her ‘quirks’ to uphold that friendship, even when it’s difficult. He’s the kind of friend everyone needs.
