Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.
This week's Top Ten Tuesday topic:
Bookish/Literary Halloween Costumes
This week's theme is a Halloween freebie and since I don't go for the scary reads, I'm instead turning my attention to some bookish Halloween costumes I've come across. There are some seriously creative people out there! Here are some of my favorites...
Fleur Delacour | Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Who could forget Fleur Delacour and the Beauxbatons girls?
Effie Trinket | The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
"Happy Hunger Games!"
This week's theme is a Halloween freebie and since I don't go for the scary reads, I'm instead turning my attention to some bookish Halloween costumes I've come across. There are some seriously creative people out there! Here are some of my favorites...
Madeline | The Madeline books by Ludwig Bemelmans
Love the Madeline costumes on these little girls - and there's even a Miss Clavel!
Charlie Brown | The Peanuts books/comic by Charles M. Schulz
Such a simple costume but there's no doubt who he's supposed to be. :) 
Who could forget Fleur Delacour and the Beauxbatons girls?
Creepy Twins | The Shining by Stephen King
"Come play with us, Danny."
Gaaaaaaahhhh!!!!!
Willy Wonka | Charlie and the Choclate Factory by Roald Dahl
Love how the whole family got into it. Not just Willy Wonka but also Violet Beauregarde and an Oompa-Loopma.
Mary Poppins| Mary Poppins by P.L. Travers
This lady makes a good Mary Poppins! Wonder if she can pull a lamp out of that bag?
Peter Pan | Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie
Another family act - this time with Peter, Wendy, Captain Hook and Tinkerbell.
Holly Golightly | Breakfast at Tiffany's by Truman Capote
So iconic.
Harry Potter and Dobby | Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Bonus points for Dobby wearing one sock.
"Dobby is a free elf!"
"Happy Hunger Games!"
Have you ever dressed up as a bookish character?
I have never dressed up like a book character. My favorite of these were the twins from The Shining, but my God I hope they've never seen the movie! LOL
ReplyDeleteHa! Yeah, hopefully they haven’t been allowed to see the movie. They’d be scarred for life!
Deletethese costumes are adorable, except for the creepy twins. those little madelines are so cute!
ReplyDeleteI don't dress up but if I did, I would probably be batgirl or supergirl or a female harry potter.
have a lovely day.
Yeah, I definitely wouldn’t be dressing up as those scary twins. Ack!
DeleteA female Harry Potter would be awesome! :)
These are fantastic! I love the Madeleines.
ReplyDeleteI thought those Madelines were so adorable. :)
DeleteI love your list and the example costumes!
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
DeleteThis is BRILLIANT Tanya! You illustrating with these pictures ;-) Well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sophie! It seemed a safe bet since I don't read scary books. :)
DeleteOh wow these are awesome. Effie!!!! Love it. And Mary Poppins too, as well as Holly Golightly. And the Charlie brown one is adorable lol.
ReplyDeleteI know, I think the Effie one really nailed it!
DeleteHaha, that baby is cute. I love bookish costumes. I’d totally be a Harry Potter character if I had anywhere to go.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
There's sooo much to choose from with Harry Potter!
DeleteThese are all great, but the babies were the best for me. Too cute!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! That little Charlie Brown baby is my favorite. :)
DeleteFun post! The boy dressed up as Charlie Brown has got to be the most precious thing I've ever seen!
ReplyDeleteTotally agree, Suzanne! That's my favorite. :)
DeleteThose are all great ones!! I love Charlie Brown - too cute!
ReplyDeleteSame here, Grace! :)
DeleteThese are awesome. Love Dobby wearing one sock, and the little hair drawn on Charlie Brown. I think Madeline is an adorable costume too!! The only literary character I've been is Hermione Granger back in like...8th grade I think?

Them putting one sock on Dobby was so clever. And the Charlie Brown one is my fave. :)
DeleteOMG the Snoopy and Madeline costumes! So cute. I don't dress up by my dog was Harry Pawter one year lol

Oh my gosh, Harry (Hairy!) Pawter. I love it. :)

ReplyDeleteYes! Charlie Brown is my favorite, too. :)
DeleteThese are all so fun---well, except the twins. Don't think you could call them "fun," but they're definitely in the Halloween spirit! I love that little Dobby!
ReplyDeleteNicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
Yeah, the twins are pretty creepy. But the Dobby baby was adorable. :)

ReplyDeleteCharlie Brown baby and baby as Dobby win. They were adorable!
