Book Character Lookalikes
Have you ever...

Have you ever seen a character on a book cover or read a description of what they look like and thought Wow, that character looks exactly at me? What character(s) was it?

I look exactly like Abigail Jane Stewart on the new Dear America covers. I mean, exactly. Same facial expressions, same eyes- its freaky.

I'm not entirely sure about the looks, but my personality is eerily like Emily Starr's from Emily of New Moon.

@ Abigail A:

You totally should; they're awesome! If you've read Anne of Green Gables, it's kind of similar in style, but a little less chirpy in tone and Emily's not quite as unabashedly benevolent to mankind as Anne. :)

I've always thought I look like a Weasley...

Other than that one of my friends looks like Augustus Waters (I'm not even kidding.  Down to the polo shirts.) and another when he grows out his hair looks like a Hobbit.

I just discovered that I look a lot like the girl on the covers of The Silver Bowl series by Diane Stanley. Except that my hair is straight and blonde, not wavy and auburn. You can't see her entire face in any of them, but the first book you can see her eyes and the second book you can see her lips and chin.

I once had a friend buy a copy of To Kill A Mockingbird solely because the picture of Scout on the cover looked like younger me.
