This week's Top Ten Tuesday topic is favorite Bookish Characters and here are some of mine:
Even Hell has a library and Claire is the head of the Unwritten Library in this first book in A.J. Hackworth's series, The Library of the Unwritten.
Lindsey Norris is the Director of the Briar Creek Public Library in the Library Lover's cozy mystery series by Jenn McKinLay.
Liesel is more than just a book thief in this moving novel by Markus Zusak set in World War II.
Carrie Singleton is in charge of programs and events at the local public library in the Haunted Library cozy mystery series, which also features a ghost!
Down on her luck Carmen is tasked with helping turn a failing bookstore around in Jenny Colgan's The Christmas Bookshop.
Librarian Amy Webber has her hands full in Victoria Gilbert's Blue Ridge Library cozy mystery series.
Jess Brightwell, whose family has a long history of stealing and selling books on the black market, gets a position with the Great Library and must work extra hard to hold onto it in this fantasy series by Rachel Caine.
Brooklyn Wainwright is a rare book expert in San Francisco in the Bibliophile cozy mystery series by Kate Carlisle.
Irene is my favorite spy and librarian in the Invisible Library series by Genevieve Cogman that combines fantasy and mystery.

Jo - I liked your list--I can't wait to meet some of the characters you mentioned. Their books are on my TBR shelf to read.

DeleteOh my goodness! I'm a sucker when it comes to books about book/libraries. That I have only read one of these, Markus Zusak's the book thief means I'm about to add to my Wish List by any number of books, probably beginning with the Cosy mysteries. Thanks for another great, thought provoking post
