Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.
This week we're looking at some characters that I can easily relate to: fellow readers and lovers of books. And what's better than allowing a bookworm to explain their own love of books?
A.J. Fikry
You know everything you need to know about a person from the answer to the question, What is your favorite book?
Beauty
They went out every day upon parties of pleasure, balls, plays, concerts. &c. and laughed at their youngest sister, because she spent the greatest part of her time in reading good books.
Catherine Morland
"Oh, I am delighted with the book! I should like to spend my whole life in reading it, I assure you."
Celaena Sardothien
"I can survive well enough on my own -- if given the proper reading material."
Klaus Baudelaire
When you read as many books as Klaus Baudelaire, you are going to learn a great deal of information that might not become useful for a long time.
Tessa Gray
"One must always be careful of books," said Tessa, "and what is inside of them, for words have the power to change us."
A.J. Fikry

Hazel Grace Lancaster
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.

Hermione Granger
“I’ve learned all the course books by heart of course. I just hope it will be enough – I’m Hermione Granger, by the way, who are you?"

Jo March
The dim, dusty room, with the busts staring down from the tall bookcases, the cozy chairs, the globes, and best of all, the wilderness of books in which she could wander where she liked, made the library a region of bliss to her.
―Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
Klaus Baudelaire
