Top Ten Tuesday is a fun list meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week's theme is Characters With Whom You'd Like to Check In. You can check out the other participants and find some great books to add to your list.

Before we begin, I have a BIG QUESTION: I use Blogger and Chrome is my browser. Does anyone else have trouble posting comments to Blogger blogs under these conditions? About every 5 blogs I get a "Whoops!" message telling me to clear my browser history. I looked on the help message boards and found no info. If you have a Blogger blog and haven't seen me around lately, this is why.

Dr. Laszlo Kreizler from The Alienist by Caleb Carr - A pioneer of forensics, Dr. Kreiger deals with the most difficult cases of the NYPD under Police Commissioner Teddy Roosevelt. I'd love to see how his department developed and how other investigators came to understand his methods.

Lady Georgiana Rannoch from Rhys Bowen's Royal Spyness mysteries - Georgie has had a difficult life with no fortune, yet being in line to the throne of England. I'd like to see if she has found a way of earning money that is socially acceptable, and if she has married her fiance, Darcy?

Kitty Logan from Ceceilia Ahern's 100 Names - Has her rediscovered love of writing continued? Has she really found a mature, true love?

Cole Matthews from Ben Mikaelsen's Touching Spirit Bear - Cole enters the reader's world in courtroom, having beaten another boy nearly to death. Assigned a chance to rehabilitate himself through Circle Justice, Cole has learned many things about himself and the world by the end of the book. I'd like to visit him 10 years later and see if the impact was lasting.

Nancy Drew - Don't you just want to know if she ever married her boyfriend Ned?

Skeeter from Kathryn Stockett's The Help - When last seen, Skeeter was moving to New York to work for a publisher and set the world on fire with her writing.

Flavia deLuce - Did her older sisters ever give up on verbally tormenting her? Did she decide to stay in Canada when she finished school, or did she return to England?

Victoria Jones from The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh - Victoria has had so many troubles in her young life, but the book ended on a positive note. I would like to see how her relationships developed as she learns to allow people to love her.

Pippi Longstocking - Did her father ever return home? Did Social Services find out she was living alone with a monkey and a horse?

Milo from Greenglass House by Kate Milford - Milo is such an interesting boy, I would love to meet him as a man and see how his quirks have developed and if he has any new interests.
