Happy Tuesday, y’all! How has May been treating you? For me, things have been okay. The temperatures are starting to rise, and things are beginning to bloom, which means allergies! Yay! This week for Top Ten Tuesday, Jana over at That Artsy Reader Girl has asked us to share our favorite bookish characters. The majority of the characters on my list are from libraries or bookshops. So, let’s check out a few of my Favorite Bookish Characters!

A Few of My Favorite Bookish Characters

Book titles will lead you to the Goodreads page.

Lost for Words Bookshop by Stephanie Butland

Loveday Cardew is the main character of the book. She grew up in the “system” until she aged out and found herself at the bookshop with a job. Loveday has various tattoos, but they are all the opening lines of important books to her.

Tilly and the Bookwanderers (Pages & Co #1) by Anna James

Tilly and her grandparents have a unique ability that I feel many readers would love to have. They can interact with book characters. Tilly’s ability is slightly different from her grandparents, but I don’t want to go into more detail for fear of spoiling the book.

The Bookshop on the Corner by Jenny Colgan

Nina Redmond has a knack for finding the perfect book people need at a particular moment. She even dreams of opening her own bookshop and stocking her shelves with books she’s rescued from the library she worked at.

The Bookish Life of Nina Hill by Abbi Waxman

Nina Hill loves her job at the bookstore, helping people discover a love of reading and competing with her trivia team. She also likes being alone with her books.

Summer Hours at the Robbers Library by Sue Halpern

The new librarian at the library, Kit Jarvis, is trying to separate herself from her past. She also finds herself helping those around her research things about the town and its past.

The Reading List by Sara Nisha Adams

Aleisha and Mukesh find themselves at the library, her as a summer librarian and him as a grieving widower. Together with a list of books, they develop a friendship, learn more about themselves, and work together to save the library.

Meet Me in the Margins by Melissa Ferguson

Savannah Cade is an associate editor for a small publishing house and writes romance on the side. William Pennington is a senior member of the publishing house’s staff. Unbeknownst to them, they are working on the same secret project.

And that is a few of my favorite bookish characters from seven different books. Have you read any of these? Who are some of your favorite bookish characters?

  3. Nice job. I had a copy of the Book Wanderers, but gave it to a young boy who loves to read before I got to it. I just let him have it “for [his] own” since that made him so happy.

  5. Nice list! I have. a couple of these on my list too. I’m currently reading Adult Assembly Required by Abbie Waxman and Nina Hill is in it too. That was nice to see how Nina is doing a few years later!

    1. Thank you! I hope you enjoy them when you get the opportunity to read them.

  8. I haven’t read any of these yet, but I have several of them on my TBR. I’m glad you enjoyed them so much. I hope I do too! 🙂
