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.
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!

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. 😀
