A Dating Site for Readers—But You're Dating Characters

by Kelsey Thomas

So if you've ever said to yourself I really wish I could read a novel about a heterosexual Romanian female with brown eyes between the ages of 30-35 set in 1850-1900 then you're in luck! A new site called Character's World allows readers to search for book characters using a series of traits. Readers can use the site to find a novel about a specific type of character or to read up on characters before deciding if they want to read a novel about them. In other words, it is a dating site for readers.

As it stands right now, site is not very usable until they bank more than the current 176 characters submitted. You're going to tell me there are no novels with a short, 20-25, female, caucasian, protagonist? Puh-lease. I'm not exactly unique on paper, people.
