I thought your list was really great too. I keep meaning to read Your Mouth Drives Me Crazy. It’s in my TBR pile somewhere … 😉

Tia — Third lets you give the (male” hero’s and villain’s perspectives. But every time I try to write in third person, it just comes off as flat to me.

Chasity — I know what you mean. One of my favorite books — Beauty by Robin McKinley — is in first person. I just love the voice of the main character in that one.

You know I’ve never really understood why most people hate first person. I prefer first person. I feel like I understand the character much better that way.

Love the list!
