Sidekick Showcase - (un)Conventional Bookviews

Sidekick Showcase, previously known as Sidekick Saturday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by Jaclyn at JC’s Book Haven. There are many secondary characters that are as great as the primaries. In some cases, the sidekicks actually steal the show and you like them better than the heroine or hero. Maybe they didn’t have enough page time for how great they were. Anyone can play along! I will post my Sidekicks on Saturday, and so will Jaclyn, then whichever day during the week that you would like to post yours, you can put your link in on Jaclyn’s page. Just do the following:

• Choose a sidekick *or someone other than the hero or heroine* that you would like to put in the spotlight that fits in the week’s topic
• Share a picture (if you can) and information about the character
• Give the title and author of a book the character can be found in
• Please don’t include too many spoilers when describing why the character is such a great sidekick
• The day of your post, put your link in below and grab the code for your post so you can see the others that post their’s throughout the week as well

Sidekick Showcase #38 – LGBT Rainbow

Jaclyn has proposed several themes for June, and one of them is LGBT character, since June is LGBT month. And I have one sidekick I want to showcase, it’s Breckin, Sky’s best friend in Hopeless by Colleen Hoover. Breckin has no problems talking about the fact that he’s gay, and he’s a well-adjusted and great character. There are some pretty funny instances, though, when Sky and Breckin are talking about him being gay, and instead of saying ‘gay’ they say ‘mormon’ to keep their conversation more private. Incidentally, his adoptive parents are actually mormon, so that just makes the whole conversation more funny.

Some Sidekick Showcase Quotes

“Breckin shrugs. “I’m new here. And if you haven’t deducted from my impeccable fashion sense, I think it’s safe to say that I’m…” he leans forward and cups his hand to his mouth in secrecy. “Mormon,” he whispers.

“Does not-your boyfriend realize I’m Mormon?”
I nod. “It turns out, Holder doesn’t have an issue with Mormons at all. He just has an issue with assholes.”

“Holder: “I thought Mormon’s weren’t allowed to have caffeine?”
Breckin: “I decided to break that rule the morning I woke up gay.”

Are you participating in Sidekick Showcase this week? If so, please leave me a link to your post so I can come and check out which character you are featuring 🙂

  1. I’m already crazy about Breckin. I love the caffeine quote. Maybe I’ll finally start this series during the summer COYER challenge I have yet to sign up for. I’m guessing you’re on break from school and almost starting to miss it? Have a wonderful week, Lexxie!
