Character Driven Books – Top 5 Tuesday

For me, I feel that contemporary books are very character driven but I wanted this to be a more diverse post – so I tried to switch it up a bit and not select all contemporaries. I failed. So here are five contemporaries and then five series that are lots of character love, even if they’re not character driven.

Top 5 Tuesday is a weekly meme that the lovely Bionic Bookworm does. If you are interested in doing any of her topics on your blog she welcomes it! Don’t forget to check out her upcoming topics if you’re interested in participating in future Top 5’s! Be sure to check out her post here!

My Favourite Character Driven Books:

Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda (Creekwood, #1)

Simon vs. and Leah on the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli

Eliza and Her Monsters by Francesca Zappia

anna-lola-isla

Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins

Geekerella

Geekerella by Ashley Poston

To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han

Although these series are so very plot focused, you connect so strongly with the characters that I wanted to include them:

The_ACOTAR_series

A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J Maas

    Ooooh very nice! I so agree that contemporaries are the most character, the ones you picked out really are quiteeeeeee character based in the other categories as well. TLC is for sureeeeeeeee. And we love them dearly. Wonderful picks, Kyera! ❤
