Bookish Rachels Everywhere: A Round-Up of Rachels in Literature

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f5/MyCousinRachel.jpg/220px-MyCousinRachel.jpgIn case you haven’t noticed, there are a LOT of Rach(a)els currently writing for Book Riot. I’ve figured out why by using this handy formula:

Rachels = awesome
Book Riot = awesome
Rachels + Book Riot = so much awesome you need sunglasses

Therefore, we BR Rachels decided to write a post about Rachels throughout literature: books with the name “Rachel” in the title, characters named Rachel, and writers named Rachel. And we found a TON. So if your name is Rachel, you are welcome. And if your name isn’t Rachel, well, maybe reading these books will help you feel better.
