Top 10 Tuesday — Characters Like Me, Because It Really Is All About The Books

7 May

I found this week’s Top 10 Tuesday prompt — Characters That Remind Me of Myself — a bit daunting. I lead such a boring life, that it would never make it as a book. 😉 I really struggled to come up with the requisite 10 to fill this post, until I started thinking about what consumes a lot of my thoughts — books! I read them, talk about them, blog about them, sniff them . . . . Anyway, I came up with a list of characters that are surrounded by books too. I really wouldn’t want to trade places with any of them because of their issues, and the fact that some regularly stumble on dead bodies or engage in nefarious activities! And while my husband may say our home is starting to look a lot like a bookstore or library, I do not work at either. But I am a book pusher  enthusiast who makes sure everyone has the opportunity to get their hands on the story that is just right for them. Whether you like cozy mysteries, suspense, romance, women’s fiction, or time-slip novels, I hope you find a book you just need to read!

    I totally hear you there. This week’s prompt was a bit tricky! You did a good job with it, though.

    My TTT.

      I was worried I could come up with enough.

    Great list, I like how you interpreted the prompt and focused on one specific trait. I really struggled this one and feel like I went all over the place! Lol

    Here’s my TTT!

      That’s the only way I could even wrap my mind around it. 😉

    CANNOT wait to read “The Printed Letter Bookshop”! It sounds and looks like an amazing read. 🙂

      I am a little bit less than half way through. I really like it.

    I haven’t read any of these books! Although I like what you did by choosing other book enthusiasts. We can all identify with them!
