Top 5 Wednesday: Characters That Embody Your Hogwarts House

Hi everyone! Welcome to Nox Reads, I'm "Nox", and while I personally believe that I am the ultimate Hufflepuff, this week's prompt for Top 5 Wednesday is to describe characters that embody my house.

So to make sure that the characters I list are accurate representations of Hufflepuff, I want to make it clear which traits I am looking for. Hufflepuffs are known for their loyalty, fairness, and hard work. Some of these may be exemplary examples of two traits but not the other, but I'm still counting them. With that in mind, let's begin!

1. Noah from The Raven Boys
"Wow, Nox is mentioning the Raven Cycle series again. What a surprise!" - No one ever
Yes, at this point the blog has officially turned into a Raven Cycle Stan AccountTM. We know this, and we accept this, okay?

The point is that Noah is such a Hufflepuff! My precious boy is loyal to a fault. Searching for a dead Welsh king is most definitely considered hard work, and I'd say that Noah is a fair friend. Noah is the most precious of Hufflepuffs, and will most likely be the easiest for me to justify being on this list.

2. Thomas Cresswell from the Stalking Jack the Ripper series
I know what you're thinking: "Nox, Thomas is a Ravenclaw!" And you, dear reader, are correct. Some of you may be thinking "You're both wrong- he's a Slytherin!" or "You're all wrong, he's a Gryffindor!"

That's the problem with Thomas Cresswell. I full-heartedly believe that Thomas Cresswell is a hatstall - someone that could belong in all four houses. The houses don't necessarily correspond with our traits as much as they do with our values, however, so it's my opinion that Thomas would be either a Ravenclaw (since he values intelligence) or a Hufflepuff (since he seems to care about loyalty).

3. Kaz Brekker from the Six of Crows duology
And this is where everyone starts yelling at me.

I wrote an entire post on why Kaz is really a Hufflepuff, so I'll just give the highlights: he is incredibly loyal and hard-working. He worked his way to the top, and although he's selective with his loyalty, if he chooses you, he will be there for you.

4. Sarai from the Strange the Dreamer duology
I'm planning on writing a post for this one, but I also think that Sarai is a Hufflepuff. She's fiercely loyal, it's just that her loyalties are torn between the only family she has ever known and the citizens of Weep. This also makes her fair, because she has every right to hate Weep the way that Minya does, but she doesn't because she understands them. There's more to this, but as I said, I do want to write a post for this.

5. Nymphadora Tonks from the Harry Potter series
Okay, this is kind of a cop-out, but Tonks really is one of the ultimate Hufflepuffs! She's loyal, fair, and being an auror is hard work.

Well, everyone, these are my picks for characters that embody Hufflepuff! Are there any choices that you disagree with? Please let me know in the comments!

Have a great day!

A Guide to Anti-Racist Resources | #blacklivesmatter #sayhisname

Hi everyone. Welcome to Nox the Reader, and today I'm sharing a compiled list of different anti-racist resources that I've seen shared on Bookstagram and Twitter. Please note: THIS LIST IS EVER-EVOLVING AND EXPANDING. AS I GATHER MORE INFORMATION, I WILL BE ADDING IT TO THIS GUIDE. IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU FEEL I SHOULD ADD, PLEASE DM ME ON TWITTER @nox_reads, OR COMMENT DOWN BELOW. Before I share this list, all I want to say is that I'm mad as hell and I'm tired. My dad always shared stories about living in Inglewood in the 90s during the time of Rodney King and the LA Riots. And it's almost 30 years later and nothing has changed. I've grown up surrounded by names as hashtags and videos cycled through the media and it's infuriating  and heartbreaking and exhausting . And a lot of us are wondering what to do, how to break this system and burn it to the ground. And it starts with educating ourselves and uplifting the voices of others. In this list are book

Book Ramble - One of Us is Lying

Hi everyone! Welcome to Nox Reads, I'm "Nox", and this is my book ramble for  One of Us is Lying  by Karen M. McManus, a solid  PROBABLY WON'T REREAD.  "That's the kind of person you can get away with killing: someone everyone else wants dead." TRIGGER WARNING: Death, alcohol, drugs, mentions of suicide -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- S P O I L E R - F R E E  T A L K  Right off the bat, I have to say: I  had  to read this book. It's the Breakfast Club with a murder in it, how could I not? And of course, they make a joke about it in the book (Simon saying that they're all walking 80's movies stereotypes). It was such an interesting concept to me, a combination of some of my favorite things: retellings, mystery, and murder (in  stories . Obviously I do not condone actually murder.  Please don't murder people. This has been a PSA. ) S
