May 7: Characters That Remind Me of Myself
This was a tough one!
- Elizabeth Bennett; Jane Austen. I have a bit of her biting sense of humor, and love of long walks.
2. Matilda; Roald Dahl. Though I don’t have her fondness for pranks, my childhood was an ocean of books like hers.
3. Susan Sto Helit; Terry Pratchett. I could only wish to be as bad@ss as Susan, but I like to think I have some of her spine.
4. Cath; Rainbow Rowell. I’m just as in love with some books as Cath, and I’m not so good with people.
5. Hermione; J.K. Rowling. I only correct people’s pronunciation out of love, I swear.
6. Kaylee; Joss Whedon. I don’t have her mechanical aptitude, but I strive for her bubbly optimism.
I have to think about Hermione every time I come across it. LOL
The pronunciation? I’ve read Rowling did the bit where Hermione explains how her name is said, just for the readers.
I bet she did!
Hermione made my list too

*high five* 🙂
I love Elizabeth too! P and P is a favorite of mine.
She’s a ton of fun. Plenty of snark. 🙂
Yes!
Ah! We both picked Matilda and Cath! Love your list!
They are awesome. Thanks! 🙂
I’ve been seeing a lot of Hermione, and various characters from Harry Potter, on people’s lists this week. She was actually one of the first characters I read who I felt I could relate to, so I’m kind of gutted I didn’t include her on my list this week.
Great picks for this week. 🙂
It happens. I nearly always forget a perfect character, myself!
Thanks. 🙂
I didn’t even think of Elizabeth Bennett! She would totally be on my list if I didn’t forget her. Great list!!
There’s always one or two you realize you forgot, after you post. 🙂
Great list! I also see myself in Elizabeth, Matilda, and Hermone…. but I’m sure many bookworms like us do too 🙂
Everybody likes a good bookworm. 🙂
