As a result of a combination of circumstances (which I won't bore you with), I started thinking who my literary BFFs are. You know, the characters I not only love to spend time reading about, but the ones I think I would be friends with if they for some bizarre reason turned out to be real. Here's my list, in no particular order:
-Elizabeth Bennet, from "Pride and Prejudice," by Jane AustinI could go on and on about why they're my literary BFFs, but I don't think I'm going to. You should read the books yourself and find out if these girls are your BFFs too. And then we can all be BFFs together.
-Jenny Greenley, from "Teen Idol," by Meg Cabot
-India Opal Buloni, from "Because of Winn-Dixie," by Kate DiCamillo
-Penelope Bridgerton, from "Romancing Mr. Bridgerton," by Julia Quinn
-Cimorene, from "Dealing with Dragons," by Patricia Wrede
-Sophie, from "Howl's Moving Castle," by Diana Wynn Jones
-Emily Benedict, from "The Girl Who Chased the Moon," by Sarah Addison Allen
-Evie, from "Paranormalcy," by Kiersten White
-Juliet Ashton, from "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society," by Annie Barrows and Mary Ann Shaffer
-Frankie Landau-Banks, from "The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks," by E. Lockhart
-Kat, from "Heist Society," by Ally Carter
So who are your literary BFFs?
(Did I use "BFF" enough times to make you gag? No? Lemme say it again: BFF.)
How weird is this? I don't know if I have any literary BFFs. There are certainly girls/women that I adore and admire but none that I feel I could really connect with. Maybe because their lives are so different and that's why I like to read about them. If I could pick some girls to be BFFs with they would be the girls from Gossip Girl!
ReplyDeleteOMG BFFS! Like, I love them! Haha. No but seriously, I love your list! I love Jenny Greenley too and I had forgotten about Cimorene. Those books were awesome!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome post I don't think I've ever actually thought about this but I'm going to whenever I meet new characters now!!
