Top Ten Tuesday; Bookish Characters

It's Tuesday and perhaps time for a new Top Ten Tuesday post, courtesy of That Artsy Reader Girl. The theme of the week is bookish characters and I decided narrowing it down a bit by focusing on cosy mysteries.


Here's my picks.

Violet Waverly, the bookshop owner from Verse and Vengeance by Amanda Flower

Cleo Watkins, the libarian, from Read or Alive by Nora Page

Quinn Caine, the bookbinder, from To Kill a Mocking Girl by Harper Kincaid

Addie Greyborne, the bookshop owner, from Proof of Murder by Lauren Elliot

Summer Merriweather, bookshop owner and Shakespearen scholar, from Little Bookshop of Murder by Maggie Blackburn

Lucy Richardson, librarian, from A Death Long Overdue by Eva Gates

Carrie Singleton, the librarian, from Buried in the Stacks from Allison Brook

Allie Cobb, literary agent, from A Mysterious Mix Up by J. C. Kenney

Jenna Quinn, owner of antiquarian bookshop, from For Whom the Book Tolls by Laura Gail Black

Shelby Cox, bookseller, from Deadly Chapter by Essie Lang

Announcing the 2022 Diversity Reading Challenge

Image
As we're writing 2022 in two months, I figured out it was time to announce the 2022 Diversity Challenge. I've hosted it in 2019 and 2021, and decided to host it next year too. I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible. Read as many books as you feel like reading and yes, it can be children’s books, graphic novels, e-books, non-fiction, audio books, poetry and you-name-it.

What I mean by diversity is, but not limited to; People of colour/non-caucasian characters/authors Native Americans and other indigenous people LGBTQIA+ Authors/characters defining themselves as trans, intersex, genderfluid or similar Refugees Religious minorities Mental illnesses/disorders Neurodiversity (like ADD, Aspergers and autism) Feminist themes/issues Physical/mental disabilities Characters/authors w...
