LIST: Book Boys I Wish Were Real!!

It's no secret that I develop major crushes on fictional book characters, and I'm sure I'm not the only one out there LOL! But I decided it would be fun to show off some of my favourite book boys! :)

So here are a few of many that I wish were real, in no particular order:

Boys I Wish Were Real

1. Will Herondale & Jem Cairstairs from The Infernal Devices series by Cassandra Clare: I know I'm not being fair to pick both boys, but they're both just so awesome! x) Will for his humor, snark and love for books; Jem for being one of the sweetest boys out there!

2. Jace Wayland from The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare: Another Cassie boy! She sure knows how to write them, huh? LOL!

3. Alex from Hunting Lila by Sarah Alderson: OH MY GOSH. This is the boy I wish was my imaginary big brother's best friend when I was growing up. I love him too much for words! ♥

4. Etienne St. Clair from Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins: French/English/American boy extraordinaire! Need I say more???

5. Tucker Avery Christian Prescott Tucker Avery AND Christian Prescott from the Unearthly series by Cynthia Hand: Cynthia Hand wrote one of the most amazing, heartbreaking, and totally swoon-worthy love triangles in history, and the world deserves to be indecisive about it!


6. Adam Wilde from If I Stay and Where She Went by Gayle Forman: Because the world needs more sweet, amazing, and realistically adoring boys like Adam! 

7. TOD HUDSON from the Soul Screamers series by Rachel Vincent: Oh my gosh, Tod is the biggest testament to the fact that I have a thing for snarky boys! Looooooove him so much! ♥

8. Adrian Ivashkov from Bloodlines by Richelle Mead: I know there's Dimitri but... I'm Team Adrian. *ducks and hides under table*

9. Zach Goode from the Gallagher Girls series by Ally Carter: Because I'll forever be a Gallagher Girl and Zach will always be one of the first boys I've ever had a book crush on! :)

10. Four from Divergent by Veronica Roth: Holy moly, this boy is perfection! He's smart, hot, tough, and totally and completely swoon-worthy... I don't think any girl can physically NOT love him!

***

I'm going to stop there because this list could get REALLY long REALLY fast! ;) Also on my list would be Lucas from Fated, Peeta & Gale from The Hunger Games trilogy, Jack & Cole from Everneath, Ash from The Iron Fey series, Ren from the Nightshade series, Archer & Cal from the Hex Hall series, and so many more!

There are just way too many awesome book boys out there! Funny how I've had way more fictional crushes that I've had on the guys in my grade, huh? The immaturity of high school boys ruins it LOL! x)

Who are some boys that YOU wish were real? Introduce me? ;)

Favourites Books of 2011!

I know I'm a little late considering everyone already posted their lists, but I just didn't want to miss the chance to showcase my favourite books of 2011! :) Since there were so many amazing books in 2011, it was kind of hard to narrow down! But here are 10 that I loved, in no particular order:

1. Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare
This book was absolutely PERFECT — I loved everything about it! It made me laugh and cry and want to tear some hair out... which makes up the perfect book, I think! ;)

2. Wither by Lauren DeStefano
I fell in love with the cover for this book first, but the way Lauren DeStefano writes is just so beautiful! I'd add Fever to this list too, but technically it's a 2012 book so I'll wait. x)

3. Unearthly by Cynthia Hand
This is one of those books that I adored the first time around, but absolutely loved the second time I read it! One of my fave angel books ever! 

4. Hunting Lila by Sarah Alderson
Oh my gosh, I don't even think I can tell you how much I love love LOVED this book!! It was just so sweet and romantic and action-packed... definitely a favourite!

5. Bloodlines by Richelle Mead
I think I liked this book much more than the first book of VA! (Crazy, right??) Maybe it's because I'm more Team Adrian than Dimitri. x) 

6. The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater
Loooooooved this book! It was such a beautiful and original concept with the killer water horses, and the characters managed to stick with me for a long time. :)

7. If I Die by Rachel Vincent
TEAM TOD. <-- Can I leave it at that? x) Rachel Vincent is one of my favourite authors of all time and I think this book was my favourite of hers, next to Reaper! :) 

8. Divergent by Veronica Roth
Even if I hadn't read this during my dystopian phase, I think I still would've loved it! Tris was such a strong character, and Four nearly topped my list of Boys I Wish Were Real!

9. Where She Went by Gayle Forman
If I Stay was one of the most heartbreaking, tear-jerking, and incredibly touching books I've ever read, and this book was equally amazing. It was beautiful to the nth degree!

10. The Iron Queen by Julie Kagawa
Another book that broke my heart! The Iron Fey series will forever be one of my favourites, and this third book gave me another reason why!

Those are only some of the books that I enjoyed this year — there are so many! I also loved Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi, Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake, Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout, and a whole bunch of other amazing reads! :)

2011 was such an awesome year because I just joined the blogosphere (which makes me SUPER INCREDIBLY glad)! I've met so many awesome people, found out about so many awesome books, and prepared myself for so many more awesome things to happen in 2012! ♥

What are some of your favourite books of 2011? :)
