Top Ten Tuesday #17
Bookish Characters
This week’s prompt is “Bookish Characters.” This seems easy, except I think we’re supposed to choose a category of character, like favorite readers, librarians, professors, etc. At least that’s what I’m understanding from the instructions. Here are my top ten favorite bookworms:
Hermione Granger
Harry Potter Series by JK Rowling
Bella Swan
Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer
Will Herondale
Infernal Devices Trilogy by Cassandra Clare
Tessa Gray
Infernal Devices Trilogy by Cassandra Clare
Lady Jane Grey
MY LADY JANE by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows
Marianne Daventry
EDENBROOKE by Julianne Donaldson
Liesel Meminger
THE BOOK THIEF by Markus Zusak
Cath Avery
FANGIRL by Rainbow Rowell
Anne Shirley
ANNE OF GREEN GABLES by LM Montgomery
Elizabeth Bennett
PRIDE & PREJUDICE by Jane Austen
What about you? Which bookish characters are on your list this week?
I’ve been learning in DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) that life is full of dialectics, or two opposing truths. In this case, the two opposing truths are: 1) I don’t agree with JKR’s stance regarding trans people, and 2) I still love Harry Potter.
Great list of bookish characters.

Have a great week 🙂
Thanks! 🙂 This was a fun prompt.
Hermione is a great choice!

Yeah, I thought so too. 🙂
Those are definitely some bookish characters!

I thought so too! 🙂
I like this list. I especially liked Fangirl, I thought it did a good job of evoking those feelings of starting college, especially if you’re an introvert.
I think it works for a shy extrovert too. 🙂 That’s how it was for me, anyway.
Liesel is getting a lot of love today. It’s great!
I haven’t done my rounds yet. I’m so glad she is. She’s one of my favorite book characters. 🙂
Great list.

Thank you! 🙂
Matilda, Elizabeth Bennet, Hermione are some of my favvorites. I totally misread the prompt. You did it right, I didn’t but I did make a fun-to-explore list. Check it out at Characters in Real Life
Lol. I’ve done that before. 😀 I can’t wait to see what you did with your list.
Hermione and Anne Shirley–definitely!
I’m glad you love those two. They’re two of my favorites. 🙂
So many great bookish characters! I forgot about Will and Tessa – I loved them so much though so guess it’s time for a re-read soon 🙂
I want to reread this trilogy too. I love Will and Tessa so much! 😀
Nice list. I should have thought of Anne Shirley and Hermione Granger
It’s okay. We can’t think of everyone, right? 🙂
Great list, as always!
Karen @For What It’s Worth
Thanks! 🙂
Bella Swan and Anne Shirley, love it!
Thanks, Cindy! 😀
A great list of characters! I think Hermoine helped a lot of people realize that reading is cool.
Thanks for stopping by my post earlier.

Thanks, Pam! And, yes, I think Hermione helped others too. 😀
Hermione is the perfect choice for this! I’ve read Fangirl as well, but I always forget that Cath is a bookworm. My memories of that book focus more on her friendship with Reagan.
Thanks for stopping by my TTT earlier!
I did love Cath’s friendship with Reagan and her relationship with Levi. That’s definitely what stuck out the most to me too. I almost can’t help notice her relationship with books because of Baz and Simon. 😀
I love your list! Anne Shirley is definitely a top ten bookish character!
Thanks, Laura! 😀
Interesting list. I should have thought of Hermione Granger but fantasy isn’t exactly my genre. But she is a great reader and deserves to be on our lists.
Thanks for visiting my TTT this week which is all about readers.
Thanks, Marianne! No problem! Thanks for returning the favor! 😀
Hermione and Liesel were both on my list this week too!
My TTT: https://jjbookblog.wordpress.com/2022/05/10/top-ten-tuesday-367/
That’s awesome! 🙂 I didn’t see that you posted this week.
Nice list! If I had made a list, Anne would have definitely been on it, or at least Gilbert.
Gilbert would’ve been a good choice too. 🙂
I think its super important to separate the book from the author especially in Harry Potter’s case! I know so many people who have been saved by those books that it would be a shame to discredit the books. (We can discredit the author tho!) I also included Hermione on my list <3
I completely agree. It’s because of Harry Potter that I love reading and have many of the friends that I do right now. I can’t throw away my love for the books just because of Rowling’s views. I can, however, distance myself from her and acknowledge the hurt she’s caused and the pain the books may cause some readers. 💜
I love this list–some of my favourite characters ever are on it! Thanks for making me smile 🙂
I’m glad I made you smile. 😀
