Top Ten Tuesday: Characters Who Are Fellow Book Nerds

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish wherein each week bloggers list out their Top Ten. What better than a favorite character you can related to? And one who loves books as much as you! Here are some:

Cath Avery from Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

“To really be a nerd, she’d decided, you had to prefer fictional worlds to the real one.”

Hazel Grace Lancaster from The Fault in our Stars by John Green

“Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.”

“Books so special and rare and yours that advertising your affection feels like a betrayal.”

Tessa Gray from The Infernal Devices series by Cassandra Clare

“Only the very weak-minded refuse to be influenced by literature and poetry.”

“One must always be careful of books and what is inside them, for words have the power to change us.”

Celaena Sardothien from Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas

“Libraries were full of ideas–perhaps the most dangerous and powerful of all weapons.”

Will Herondale from The Infernal Devices series by Cassandra Clare

“We live and breathe words. …. It was books that made me feel that perhaps I was not completely alone. They could be honest with me, and I with them.”

Alaska Young from Looking for Alaska

“When I look at my room, I see a girl who loves books.”

 Bree Tanner from Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer

“I took the next dozen books in line; that would keep me a couple of days.”

Hermione Granger from Harry Potter series by J K Rowling

“No,” said Hermione shortly. “Have either of you seen my copy of Numerology and Gramatica?”
“Oh, yeah, I borrowed it for a bit of bedtime reading,” said Ron, but very quietly.”

“Me? Books and cleverness. There are more important things: friendship and bravery.”
