“IT’S ALMOST HALLOWEEEEEEEEEEEEN!” she yells, as if she lives in a country where Halloween means anything. *cough* But, I mean, dressing up is fun anyway. Last year, for Blogger Trick or Treat, I shared some costumes for book nerds, and I gotta say, dressing up as a book character would be the way to go. So many awesome characters. Such badassery. Here are my top picks.
1. Celaena from the Throne of Glass series: Let’s face it, Celaena’s a freaking bad-ass. I’m worried about the silver hair – that might not suit me, but whatever.
2. Yukiko from the Lotus War series: Yessss I want to be a katana-wielding Japanese ninja warriorrrrrr. *cough* Right.
3. Karou from the Daughter of Smoke and Bone series: Blue hair. That would just be awesome.
4. Katniss from The Hunger Games: Duh? I already have long brown hair that I wear in a braid most of the time, so I’m READY.
5. Aileanna from The Falconer: I wanna be a gun-toting steampunk debutante fae killer, hell yes.
6. Hermione from Harry Potter: This should surprise exactly no one. Right?
7. Nyx from Cruel Beauty: Give me a pretty dress and let me put my scowl on. I’m ready.
8. Arwen from The Lord of the Rings: I know a lot of people hate her, but I never did. Pretty dresses and elf ears = ♥
9. Penryn from Penryn and the End of Days: Intensely awesome fighter, with an angelic sword? Yes.
10. Daenerys from A Song of Ice and Fire: KHALEESI.
At least two of your picks have silver hair and both are from fantasy genders, I see a trend here.

All of these! But particularly Celaena and Karou – I’d love to have Fae powers plus blue hair. That would be the perfect combination.

Hahaha, yeah, Hermione is on everyone’s lists this week. She’s certainly on mine! the only other book I’ve read on your list is the first Lord of the Rings book, and I certainly wouldn’t mind dressing up as Arwen. I love pretty dresses!

I’ve seen a Game of Thrones section at my local Halloween story. Soo very tempting (they have a Joffry crown!)
Amber Elise @ Du Livre
Silver hair would be challenging, but I’d love to dress up as Celaena. If I could have her skills and the hot guys I would be happy too :p Karou! Also great pick. After that book I really wish I could pull off blue hair. Aileanna is a nice one, I definitely want to wear the outfit from the cover.
Mel@thedailyprophecy recently posted MIM #3. Percy Jackson: The lightening thief.
I love Arwen too! Eowyn would also be fun. You could go around shouting “I am no man.”
Hermioneeee, of course! And Dany would be great, bossing everyone around in a queenly manner with dragons on your shoulders.
Also Celaena. Swords. PRETTY DRESSES. Yes.

These would all be amazing costumes! From your list, I’d love to be Karou, Katniss, Nyx, Arwen and Dany. 🙂

I had Katniss and Karou on my list, too. I think those were popular choices this week!
