~Six reasons I loved Tuesdays at the Castle~1.FamilyI thought Tuesdays at the Castle was going to be all about Celie, and while Celie is the main focus (the third person narration has a focus on her), her older brother and sister are just as important.I loved this! The interaction between the siblings was sweet and fun. I actually loved Celie's brother and sister so much that I would read the story all over again told from each of their perspectives.2. PogueThis is a MG book, so the romance is really, really minimal (like, only implied), but Pogue is where it's at and his devil-may-care, charming and flirty personality makes him a character to watch.Maybe we could get a book told from Lilah's perspective so I can get more Pogue (Pogue has a little thing going on with Celie's older sister Lilah)? I could go for that!3. A character who owns a pile of puppiesPuppies! I'm firmly in the camp that believes puppies make everything better.4. CelieCelie is everything I want in a MC--she's inquisitive, determined, and she so gets the value of secret passageways.Celie may be super awesome for standing up against some pretty rotten characters, but she's also a real girl with courage AND fears and I could totally relate to her while also admiring her.Plus, she's a princess, so there's automatic points for that.5. Castle GlowerIf I hadn't already been sold on reading Tuesdays at the Castle because this is a Jessica Day George book and I'll read anything she writes, that castle that magically adds new rooms and features would have cinched the deal.Half the reason I read so many castle/mansion books is because I get to explore big houses!
