Top Ten Best Book Boyfriends of 2012



Today is day three of my most favourite week of the book blogging community- the Top Ten lists of 2012! This year's Top Ten of 2012 is hosted by Lisa from A Life Bound By Books, Jessica from Confessions of a Bookaholic, Jaime from Two Chicks on Books, Mindy from Magical Urban Fantasy Reads, and Rachel from Fiktshun!

*In no particular order*

1. Jace Wayland from Cassie Clare's "City of Lost Souls": This is a given. I don't think that Jace will ever not top my list of book boyfriends. He is the epitome of YA book boys IMO.

2. Adrian Ivashkov from "The Golden Lily" by Richelle Mead: I have been a Dimitri fan through and through, however, I have felt myself becoming more and more drawn to Adrian as Richelle's "Bloodlines" series develops more and more. Adrian made my heart a complete puddle with his confession in "The Golden Lily".

3. R from "Warm Bodies" by Isaac Marion: Move aside vampires and werewolves! Zombies are quickly raising in ranks as the most swoon-worthy YA book boys!

4. Lucas from "Easy" by Tammara Webber: While most of the boys on this are on it because they are super strong characters Lucas is on this list because he makes Jacqueline super strong in body, mind  and soul.

5. Chris from "Storm" by Brigid Kemmerer: While I love all of the Merrick brothers I especially love Chris with him being the "original".

6. Daemon from "Onyx" by Jennifer L. Armentrout: Daemon said my most favourite quote of 2012- "I've thought about the repercussions- it's all I've thought about" (pg. 139). 'Nuff said!

7. Darius from "Soulbound" by Heather Brewer: Forget the "right" or "proper" boy for Kara- Darius is so much more interesting!

8. Adam from "Where She Went": While I was only iffy on "If I Stay" I LOVED this book. Why? Almost entirely because of Adam. Nobody does swoon and angst quite like Adam does.

9. Four from "Divergent" by Veronica Roth: I don't think that you could get much better than bad-ass incarnate.

10. Tristan from "Anew" by Chelsea Fine: Can you notice a trend? If he is all angsty and broken I am ALL OVER HIM.

"Confederates Don't Wear Couture" by Stephanie Kate Strohm

Release Date: June 4, 2013 Publisher: Graphia Pages: 240 From Goodreads: "Libby's best friend and fabulous fashion designer, Dev, hatches a plan to jet down South and hawk his period gowns to the wives and girlfriends of Civil War re-enactors. With a pang, Libby abandons her plan to visit her boyfriend, Garrett, in Boston and jumps at the chance to help run "Confederate Couture," and let her inner history nerd loose in a 19th century playground. But Libby and Dev aren't whistling Dixie for long. Between the constant travel from battle ground to dusty battle ground (with no Starbucks in sight, mind you), blistering heat, and a violent ghost set on romantic revenge, they quickly realize Alabama's no sweet home. And the boys. . . well, let's just say Libby's got the North and the South fighting for her attention. Confederates Don't Wear Couture is another hilarious, historical romp from Stephanie Kate Strohm!" When I first received this book ...

Book Review: The Dream Thieves

Now that the ley lines around Cabeswater have been woken, nothing for Ronan, Gansey, Blue, and Adam will be the same. Ronan, for one, is falling more and more deeply into his dreams, and his dreams are intruding more and more into waking life. Meanwhile, some very sinister people are looking for some of the same pieces of the Cabeswater puzzle that Gansey is after... The Dream Thieves by Maggie Stiefvater was very high on my holiday wishlist, and I was thrilled when I unwrapped it. I loved The Raven Boys so I was excited to delve back into this world. As with all of Maggie's books, the story takes time to unfold. Her books are rather slow reads for me, as they're so interesting and beautifully written that I read slow and savor each word. When the writing is this good, there's no need to rush through it. The Dream Thieves picks up where The Raven Boys left off, the search for a sleeping Welsh king, Glendower. Each of the characters have an important role to play in fin...
