TOP TEN TUESDAY: BOOKISH CHARACTERS 28.7.15

~ TOP TEN TUESDAY July 28th Theme at The Broke and Bookish ?  Ten Characters Who Are Fellow Book Nerds 
[love reading, are writers, work at a bookstore, etc] 
Here's one TTT to get me researching my book memories! Not sure I'll make it to 10 but will give it a go ...
Beginning with this month's PARIS in JULY theme, I'll add - ~ 1-  ~  Canadian Book Challenge 9 begins annually on Canada Day, July 1st, fondly  celebrated reading any from the series of our book loving Anne of Green Gables - ~ 2-  ~ Another classic book lover ... and writer, pictured in this cover ~ 3-  ~ Featuring a variation of Goodnight Moon, bookstore owners with a mysterious twist... ~ 4-  ~ Love CJ Darlington's suspense filled thriller series of antiquarian estate sales and 1st editions... book 1 Thicker Than Blood ~

5-

~ Book 2 - Bound by Guilt - from my review: "The story itself is intense with an increasing pace that had me laying the book aside at times to relieve the tension. Suspenseful drama, mystery, adventure, intrigue, all realistic in culturally relevant contemporary settings. Well developed growth and maturing of likeable characters; strong emotionally influential features of disliked characters. Generational variety in characters who come to life in the reading, exhibiting believable actions and reactions.
Enough twists to keep the reader guessing and unsettled enough to keep reading. 
I recommend Ms Darlington's 'Bound By Guilt' as readily as her debut, 'Thicker Than Blood'."

6-
