November 2nd: Characters Who Need a Break
There are always those bookish characters who seem to be on edge all the time. Sort of makes you wish they could realize they need to take a break, right? In honor of National Stress Awareness Day, what are five characters you would love to see “chill out” from how stressed they are?
- Hermione Granger- saving the world from an evil wizard while maintaining good grades is very stressful, Hermione needs to take some “me” time.
- Holly from Coming Home to Wishington Bay – I’m not even a quarter of a way through this rom com, but it’s clear Holly needs to end her workaholic ways.
- Nora from Book Lovers – Nora tries to be everything to everyone and all it does is earn her reputation as a shark.
- Mrs. Bennet from Pride and Prejudice- The overdramatic Mrs. Bennet creates stress for herself and thher family. If she would just chill out about marrying off her daughters everyone would be happier.
- Nina Hill from The Bookish Life of Nina Hill Nina has dealt with her anxiety by closing people out and living in books.
I threw this together quicker than usual because I didn’t remember until 10PM, so I’m sure I left out some great stressful characters. Which book characters do you think need to “chill out”?
