This weekly frenzy of listing is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.
Boy, these open-ended categories are hard! I didn't know how to fill in the blank for Characters Who _____, until I visited my library. Then it hit me - what better thing is there in a book than a character who loves books? So I decided to go with that. Feel free to add any you think of in the comments. I'm sure I missed a bunch!

Sarah Grimke from The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd (She is devastated when her father bars her from the library.)
Daniel Sempere from The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon (Only someone who loves books would be that determined to find the author of a good book.)
Cassandra Mortmain from I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith (And she uses her book-loving skills to great use in keeping her journal!)
Thursday Next from The Eyre Affair (and others) by Jasper Fforde (Thursday loves books in a whole different way - by protecting them behind the scenes!)

Emily Starr from Emily of New Moon by L.M. Montgomery (Writing a novel is her highest ambition.)
Catherine Morland from Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen (Reading too many Gothic novels can lead you to the wrong conclusions. . .)
Jo March from Little Women by Louisa May Alcott (Jo scribbling away in her attic is an image I have always loved.)
Matilda Wormwood from Matilda by Roald Dahl (Anyone who needs to cart home library books in a wagon is a definite bibliophile!)
Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling (This list would not be complete without Hermione. Her love of books is legendary - and possibly annoying. :))
