Top Ten Tuesday: Fellow Book Nerds Unite!

This is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. They feature a different top ten list every week. This week's topic is top ten characters who are fellow book nerds.

1. Scout from To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee - One of my favorite fictional book nerds. When Scout's teacher told her not to read at home anymore, I was in as much despair as Scout.

2. Perdu from The Little Paris Bookshop by Nina George - Even though parts of this story dragged a bit, I love the idea of a bookseller who recommends the perfect book to a customer based on what their problem is. And the setting of Paris did not hurt!

3. Cassie from The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey - Cassie is trying to survive an alien invasion, but in every house she raids, she looks for any new books she can find in addition to little items that can help her survival. Priorities, people. She carries around a copy of Huckleberry Finn, along with some poems from Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein (one of my favorite books).

4. Cath from Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell - Cath is the biggest book nerd of them all! She loves the Simon Snow book series so much that she creates fanfiction based on it. Love her.

5. Matilda from Matilda by Roald Dahl - Ahhh, Matilda. I watched the movie long before I read the book and fell in love with her. Of course, the fact that she read Great Expectations at four years old is a bit intimidating. 

6. Hazel from The Fault In Our Stars by John Green - She was so obsessed with a book that she tracked down its author in Amsterdam just so she could find out how it was supposed to end. Awesome. Who hasn't wanted to do that about a book with an incomplete ending??

7. Sarah from The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd - She loved books so much, but her father did not think that was a worthwhile hobby for a girl. You know, learning is bad and everything that was sarcasm, by the way). She gets so upset when her father bars her from the library. I don't blame her at all.

8. Alice from The Reading Promise: My Father and the Books we Shared by Alice Ozma - I know this one is actually nonfiction, but I just had to include it. Alice and her father make a pact to read together every single night, starting when she is in fourth grade. Somehow they actually maintain this streak until college, even through puberty and teenage hormones and sleepovers. It's a pretty awesome book. 

9. Liesel from The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. I just read it a couple of weeks ago. It is now one of my favorite books. I absolutely love how obsessed with words Liesel was . . . even before she knew how to read, she knew how important they were. 

10. Rory from Gilmore Girls - Yes, I am aware that she is not a book character, but I don't even care. I had to include her. She is my favorite television character ever. Yes, she really took a book with her everywhere and her idea of a perfect date was going to a bookstore. I can relate.

Who are some of your favorite fictional characters who are fellow book nerds?
