This week's question is: Happy Mother's Day! Who is your favorite mom from fiction?
I know that in a lot of books, parents are absent for the most part so 'adoptive' parents tend to show up instead like Molly Weasley in Harry Potter whom I love. I also really like Rachel Morgan's mom in The Hollows Series. However, my choice for this one will have to be Jocelyn Fairchild from The Mortal Instruments.She is being played by Lena Headey in the upcoming movie. She was in 300 as Queen Gorgo and also Game of Thrones.
It's really hard for me to say a lot about her character though without being too spoilery so let me just say that she is the just right mother for Clary to grow up the way that she did. She's also able to kick-butt alongside anyone else and turns heads wherever she goes - both from her choices that don't always go with the flow and because she is beautiful. Happy Mother's Day everyone :D
I'm a huge Lena Headey fan (she was also the mom on the Terminator TV show). I haven't read this series, but I think I'm going to go against the grain and watch the movie first. I'm still working on who I want to choose for this week's FF. Happy Mother's Day weekend, Jaclyn. You're an awesome mom!
ReplyDeleteHopping through. I like Jocelyn. She sure made a lot of sacrifices for Clary.
ReplyDeleteMy Hop
Haven't read this series, but it seems like a second favorite! Perhaps I should read this series.

Mrs. Wealsey is who I went with as well. Lots of absent parents in my books, but Molly was definitely one of the coolest moms ever!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Follow Friday
Have a GREAT weekend!

Mrs. Weasley is one of my all-time favorite fictional moms! It's going to be a bit strange for me seeing Lena Headey as Jocelyn in the CoB movie; in the back of my mind, I'll be thinking, hey, it's Cersei from GoT, and Cersei's parenting skills are a bit, er, lacking, lol.
ReplyDeleteI've seen the MI series mentioned a few times today. I read them, but I don't remember the mom. :/

I've only read City of Bones, but I remember liking Jocelyn's character even though we didn't get to spend a lot of time with her. I hope to get caught up on the series soon so I can learn more about her. Old follower.
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!
I have not read this series yet, but I plan on it this summer :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower:) Here is my FFF at my blog, Nala's Book Corner!
I love Molly from Harry Potter. I would pick her.
ReplyDeleteHave to read these books already!

ReplyDeleteShe really is an awesome character :D Thank you so much for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteI hope you like it when you get to it. Thank you so much for the follow :D
ReplyDeleteOh yes, you will definitely get to see and learn more about her. I hope you enjoy :D Thank you so much for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteI can see how that would happen. Thank you so much for following!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Thank you :D
ReplyDeleteShe is fantastic! I can see how it would certainly be odd watching her play that character LOL. Thank you so much for stopping by :D
ReplyDeleteAbsent parents are pretty common, but Molly is such a great mom and adoptive mom towards Harry. Thank you so much for stopping by :D
ReplyDeleteOh that's great. I'm glad others feel the same way. Thank you so much for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteShe really did! Thank you so much for hopping through :D
ReplyDeleteOh I didn't know that. I am really looking forward to the movie. We will have to trade notes on what we think about it. Happy Mother's Day weekend to you! Thank you :D
ReplyDeleteGood choice, Jaclyn! I like Jocelyn as well - love the series! I like your mention of Rachel Morgan's mom too - I thought of her. I didn't participate in FF this week because...I'm behind, as you know! ;) But the first mom I thought of was Mrs. Bennett from P&P. Not because she's a good mom, mind you. She just provides lots of comic relief! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, this is hard, so many book moms. I don't know the one you picked, yet. But Ron's mom from Harry Potter, just from the movies, seems amazing and perfect! I would have picked her. I'm sure she's even better in the books, I have to read them soon.
ReplyDeleteI really love Ron's mom too :D She is a fantastic mother not only to her own children but to every child that is around.
