Top 10 Characters Who Are Fellow Book Nerds

Today I am doing my first Top Ten Tuesday! How exciting. T10T was created by The Broke and the Bookish and Tuesdays topic (yes I'm late) was to talk about 10 characters who are also book nerds.


1. First up we have A.J. Fickery from The Storied Life of A.J. Fickery. He works and lives in a bookshop and is constantly surrounded by good reading material. The book in general focuses on literature and there are quotes from books spread throughout the whole novel.



2. Guy Montag from Fahrenheit 451. One of my all time favorite books, Fahrenheit 451 is set in a dystopian world where books are illegal. Guy Montag is a firefighter whose job is to burn these books and make sure no one is hiding them, but could there be books hidden in his own house?


3. Klaus Baudelaire from A Series of Unfortunate Events. Klaus is described as being a major book worm, he is CONSTANTLY READING. This comes in hand quite a few times when trying to escape from Count Olaf..


4. Charlie from The Perks of Being A Wallflower. If theres one thing you need to know about me its that this is one of my favorite books of all time (and one of my favorite movies!). During his first year of high school, Charlie's teacher lends him a bunch of his favorite books, many that end up impacting Charlie's life in various ways. Novels like To Kill A Mockingbird and The Catcher In The Rye, to name a few.

5. Tyrion Lannister from A Game of Thrones. Now I'm fairly new to the GoT series, I'm currently finishing up book one. I do remember a certain scene in which Jon asks Tyrion why he reads so much and Tyrion says that since he can't rely on his body, he must rely on his mind.


6. Hazel Grace from TFIOS. Hazel spends most of her time analyzing a book called An Imperial Infliction. This book comes in to play more than once, as Augustus reads it too and it also leads them to their infamous Amsterdam trip.

7. Marie Laure from All The Light We Cannot See. Marie, a blind girl living in Paris with her father, has not let her lack of sight stop her from reading. Her father tries his best to get braille versions of the books she likes and she spends hours re-reading them.


8. Cath from Fangirl. Not one of my favorite books by Rainbow Rowell but Cath is most definitely a book nerd. She spent most of her childhood creating fan-fiction with her sister and fantasizing about Simon and Snow.

 9. Madeline from Everything, Everything. Maddie is unable to leave her house so she spends almost ALL of her time reading. Her books come in sealed packages in order to make sure they aren't infected and they are described as always being in tip top condition! The two books Maddie spends most of her time talking and thinking about are Flowers For Algernon and The Little Prince. 

10. And last but not least, Eleanor from Eleanor & Park. Eleanor discovers her love for comics from Park. She then begins to read them everyday on her bus ride to and from school..how cute!
