TOP TEN TUESDAY: CHARACTERS I’D FOLLOW ON SOCIAL MEDIA

Could Elizabeth Bennett be witty in 280 characters or less? Would Becky Sharp go into debt to become an Insta influencer?

I struggled not to go overboard with this week’s challenge. We were asked to pick ten – that’s right, just ten – literary characters to follow on social media. 

If you’d like to create your own list, give it a go. This feature was launched by The Broke and the Bookish and has been hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl since January 2018. To find out more simply visit the host website by clicking here.

Arthur Dent

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

Even after the destruction of his planet, Arthur has his priorities right.

Dumbledore

The Harry Potter Series by JK Rowling

Dumbledore’s twitter account would never be boring 

Queenie

Queenie by Candice Carty-Williams

Move over Bridget Jones. Queenie is a must-follow for everyone in the UK.

 

Miss Havisham

Great Expectations by Charles Dickens

Why torment Estella when there are thousands of wedding planners to troll online? (Let’s hope she also finds a social media support group at the same time.)

Winnie the Pooh

Winnie the Pooh by AA Milne

Possibly the world’s greatest philosopher. Winnie would bring sunshine into everyone’s day.

Becky Sharp

Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray

This enterprising social climber would be the ultimate Insta influencer.

The Librarian 

Discworld Series by Terry Pratchett

Only followed by Discworld inhabitants able to speak orangutan. 

Korede

My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite

Korede’s sister Ayoola is a serial killer but Korede is a serial enabler. Her cleaning skills could make her a social media star to rival Mrs Hinch.

 

Emma

Emma by Jane Austen

Annoying, entitled but always entertaining. Follow Emma but run from her matchmaking attempts (he’s not as single as she says…)

Evelyn Hugo

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

Evelyn never does anything half-heartedly. Get ready for social media’s biggest star.
