Top Five Wednesday: Bookish Costumes

octobert5w

Happy Halloween readers! Wouldn’t it be nice when you went trick-or-treating, you received books inside of candy??

In honor of Halloween, today’s Top Five Wednesday is all about characters I’d love to cosplay as or be for Halloween. While I admit that I’m not the biggest costume person, who wouldn’t want to be their favorite book character for a day?

Cath from Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell- I think my wardrobe is most prepared for me dressing as Cath. Cardigan ✓ Jeans ✓ Hair in messy bun ✓ Sneakers ✓ Glasses ✓

This cosplay would also give me the perfect excuse to finally buy a Carry On-inspired t-shirt from Red Bubble. I’ve seen this before, but I’d also love to couples cosplay as Cath and Levi.

Luna Lovegood (Harry Potter)- I feel like all of these characters would give me excuses to supplement my fandom wardrobe, but I would love to get my own pair of Luna’s radish earrings and Gryffindor hat—I would basically make myself into the real-life Funko version.

wonderwwDiana (Wonder Woman:Warbringer) by Leigh Bardugo- Probably cheating a little bit with this one, but Diana is a YA book character now, thanks to Leigh Bardugo. I’ve always wanted to dress up as Wonder Woman and buy some WW-inspired leggings. And of course, the Lasso.

Lena (The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares)- I would 100% dress up as Lena only because I already have the brown hair AND be able to replicate the jeans based on the original covers.

Manon Blackbeak (Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas)- Dressing as Manon would be a complete 180 from my usual self. Anyone know where I can find iron nails and a red cloak?
