Why are fellow book nerds so hard to think of!?

c.j.'s selections                         ten ten ten
one		Magonia by Maria Dahvana Headley  Aza and Jason are both of the bookish persuasion.  They like to read, and they're also just booky sorts who love knowledge.
two		A History of Glitter and Blood by Hannah Moskowitz  Several of the characters are readers, especially Beckan and Scrap.  In fact, they have many delightful conversations about books, especially how Scrap thinks they should read snobby histories and Beckan likes romance (and knows that Scrap reads her romances in secret).
three		Mechanica by Betsey Cornwall  Nicolette, aka Mechanica, is an avid reader, though many of her books have been destroyed by her vicious sisters.  Her love of fairy tales plays a huge part!
four		All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven  Books also help to form the relationship between Finch and Violet (which is freaking adorable, so read it!).  They literally flirt using quotes from Virginia Woolf.  I'm gonna let that sink in.  Also there's some adorable Doctor Suess dancing.
five		Afterworlds by Scott Westerfeld  Not only is Darcy an avid reader, but she's also a writer!  A young adult writer who's just published her first book.  Bonus: half of the scenes are actually the book Darcy has written.  It's the ultimate meta-book-book!
six		The Fault in Our Stars by John Green  You've probably never heard of this one before, but it's a sad, poignant book whose main character is an avid reader and totally obsessed with a literary masterpiece with a crotchety author.
seven		A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket  Lest we forget this beautiful masterpiece (WHICH IS GONNA BE A NETFLIX SHOW OMG), I shall remind you: Klaus was the researcher of the trio, always with a book in his hand.  He pretty much owns bookishness.
eight		Matilda by Roald Dahl  Speaking of quintessential readerly characters, Matilda's whole story was basically about her reading book after book and endearing herself to Ms. Honey with her precocious adorableness.
nine		Belzhar by Meg Wolitzer  Jam may not be your typical bookish character, but her story does revolve around reading The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath.
ten		And We Stay by Jenny Hubbard  Emily loves reading--especially poetry, especially from another famous Emily--and uses it as a coping mechanism to work through her own issues.  Like many people we might know...
