It took some searching, but I finally found a #CharacterWhoSharesYourName. Based on the summary, I take it this novel is a modern YA retelling of The Great Gatsby. And I guess the Jacinta in the book is the Gatsby character. I might have to read this one. #RiotGrams
I used to read the crap out of these growing up... #day9 #riotgrams #bookriot #characterwhosharesyourname
Honestly I'm surprised this 90s lesbian sports romance is even in the Litsy database. It was a book we weeded from the LGBTQ library I coordinate. This is the back cover blurb about a character who, despite the fact that we're both queer, could probably not be less like me. I love how it describes Casey Ellison as a "brash young jock dyke." It kills me every time I read it. #Riotgrams Day 9 #CharacterWhoSharesYourName #QueerBooks
All day I was plagued by the inkling that I knew I'd read *something* with a Lindsay character. And ding ding...IT'S BIG LINDSAY! Just a minor character, but dang how I do love her. #characterwhosharesyourname #riotgrams
It isn't spelled the same as my name because my mom wanted to be very creative with her spelling of Eleanor but I think it counts! #characterwhosharesyourname #riotgram
Dawn from The Babysitters Club is the first character I encountered with my name. I was SO excited. But our name was the only thing we had in common--she was a blonde haired, blue eyed vegetarian and I was a brown haired, brown eyed, chubby bookworm. I probably had more in common with the Dawn Treader--the boat from The Chronicles of Narnia. #riotgrams #characterwhosharesyourname #characterwhosharesmyname @bookriot
From "After the Fall" the play he wrote about his marriage to Marilyn Monroe (and widely regarded as his worst).
But this line stuck with me, because it really accurately describes how I feel a lot of the time, especially today. ?

I was named after the "airy sprite" in the Tempest--not after that mermaid princess with the fire engine red hair. Other notable Ariels include the famous Sylvia Plath publication I stumbled upon at the library at a young age and which is entirely responsible for my interest in confessional poetry, a biblical archangel, and Shelley's fateful sailboat. #characterwhosharesyourname #riotgrams
The main character's name is Georgia! This book was my first Litsy posting. The main character in Eight Hundred Grapes is also Georgia (I posted this book just last month). AND about 90% of Nancy Drew Mysteries (read 'em all) because George Fayne's name is really Georgia! For being an oddball as a kid, I'm all over the place now. Looking at you @Georgia_Hunter ! 🤗#riotGram #CharacterWhoSharesYourName
