Which Book Character do you long to be?

I think my choices are all what could be called light weight characters from popular literature due to the fact that I overdosed on the classics at school.

Miss Read of the Fairacre and Thrush Green books - a wonderful wry sense of humour and a thoroughly useful life.

Sidelined

Frieda Klein in the Nikki French series - clever, confident, self contained and she has a lovely little house all to herself!

Doesn't she have a stalker?

Pleased to hear it, Skye17.

It has to be Elizabeth Bennet.

Oh yes GrannyGravy…for her perfect hairstyle too.

Loving these, I think it shows how wholesome, spirited and clever we all!

Agatha Raisin by M C Beaton, if only for her fabulous handbag collection and beautiful home.

Jo March of course.

Frieda Klein in the Nikki French series - clever, confident, self contained and she has a lovely little house all to herself!

I'd love to be Granny Weatherwax. To be able to do magic and practice headology.
Or perhaps Jane, swinging through the jungle with Tarzan.

I don’t want to be an adult, so I’ll opt for Drina in Jean Estoril’s Drina books.

👍 GrannyGravy

Haha grumppa

I’d like to be happy, carefree, loving, motherly Ma Larkin from The Darling Buds of May or maybe it would be better to be Mariette and have Ma as my cosy mum.

Yes, that’s a brilliant choice 👍🏻

Emma Woodhouse.

I'm such an over thinker about what I do and people's reactions to me, whereas Emma is kind, confident and oblivious.

My mid circles round several candidates but rests with Jo March.

Lisbeth Salander in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo .
I'd just love to be as fearless and strong as she is .

Jo March for me too.

I’d like to be happy, carefree, loving, motherly Ma Larkin from The Darling Buds of May or maybe it would be better to be Mariette and have Ma as my cosy mum.

Mr. Darcy; I get Elizabeth Bennet (and I'm loaded).

I'd love to be Elizabeth Bennet .... and marry Mr Darcy

I'd also like to be Anne Cleeve's Vera - where women of acertain age are respected professionals and take no nonsense from anyone

Part of me would like to be Pippi Longstocking and just do what I want

My choice of Rhett would have been Gregory Peck

Another Scarlett O'Hara...... I like to think that "Tomorrow is another day
.Feisty strong-minded and knew what she wanted.

I don't know! ... but most definitely not Bathsheba Everdene who ended up with "whenever you look up there I shall be— and whenever I look up, there will be you" - Mr. Boring - Gabriel Oak!
