Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish back in June 2010. It is currently hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and, as is stated on the blog, it was โborn of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.โ
Hello, reader!
It’s time for another Top Ten Tuesday! The topic this week is certainly a fun one. I’ll be talking about characters I wish were real. Now, you can give any reason as to why you wish they were real, but I’m picking characters that I specifically want to make my friends!
That being said, let’s get to it.
Book Characters I Want to Befriend





- The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty
- I would love to hang out with the titular character, Amina al-Sirafi! She’s lived such an interesting life and she’s a great storyteller, so I feel like we’d have a great time. And maybe she’d take me out on a boat! I love being on the water.
- All Systems Red by Martha Wells
- I, of course, would want to be friends with Murderbot if it would let me be. I’m an introvert so I think I can figure out how to approach without scaring it away ๐ We could watch drama TV while doing other activities silently next to each other. It would be awesome!
- Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman
- I need to hang out with Princess Donut! Her personality is exactly what I imagine would come from my cat, Felicia, if she became sentient and could talk. We’d go have some Dirty Shirleys and just party ๐ฅณ Ooo and hopefully she would bring Mongo with her! Ugh, we would have so much fun.
- Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir
- GIDEON, MY BELOVED!!!
- Little Thieves by Margaret Owen
- I really want to hang out with Vanja and pick her little goblin brain. I would try to keep her out of trouble and we would probably both end up in prison, lol. It would be a memorable night, though.
