SOME of the BOOKISH CHARACTERS WE LOVE

---

As readers, no doubt we love varied characters that don’t ever pick up a book. However when we meet characters who love books, it makes it more interesting and also quite fun as we get to know them. Because of this, it’s always a good deal of fun to spotlight the characters who appreciate all that a good book can do. Let’s mee some bookish characters we love!

Though I’ve written lists like this before and likely there will be more than one example of a repeat, we’re still going to list some of the characters with imaginations and love of books. Because this type of feature will never be too much of a repeat.

CHARACTERS WHO LOVE BOOKS aka BOOKISH CHARACTERS WE LOVE

---

SARA CREWE from A LITTLE PRINCESS

Sara isn’t a character I often associate with a bookish type. But she does have her books and her vivid imagination is what helps save her. Goodreads

HAZEL GRACE from THE FAULT IN OUR STARS

I don’t think I adore this novel or the film (it’s been too long since I read or watched), but I did appreciate the story more than I thought so this earns her a place. Goodreads

KATHLEEN KELLY from YOU’VE GOT MAIL

I mean, Kathleen is the ultimate book character. She not only has distinct respect for fiction, but owns a bookstore as well.

CATHERINE MORLAND from NORTHANGER ABBEY

Catherine’s imagination is a little bit overzealous, but her love of books is also important to her. Goodreads

RAPUNZEL from TANGLED

Partly because it’s all she has, but Rapunzel’s love of a good book is to be admired.

ANNE SHIRLEY from ANNE OF GREEN GABLES

Anne is an obvious choice and I am sure she appears in any and all lists like this. She’s a classic. Goodreads

KAT STRATFORD from 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU

Ah, Kat. She’s snarky and smart, and yet… we like her.

WILL THACKER from NOTTING HILL

Owning a bookstore and being a kind of likable shy hero, Will fits nicely on this list.

MATILDA WORMWOOD from MATILDA

I don’t really like everything about this story or character, but I’ve also only met her in the recent Netflix musical which I’m sure it’s the most faithful to the novels. What I do appreciate about Matilda is her ability to have such imagination. Goodreads
