As a fun post to celebrate the epic winning match, I will present a discussion post where everyone can state all their favorite book crushes. I met many amazing boy characters throughout my eight years of reading young adult literature. I wish I could be friends with many of them: Harry Potter, Neville Longbottem, Balthazar Moore, Carter Blume, Christian Ozera, Nick Merrick, Ash and many more. There are two boys, however, that I have a crush on. 

Now, Here is my Two Book Boyfriends!!!!!!!!!!

These two boys are boys I think about late at night and constantly wish could be real. 

One coincidental common characteristic: they both have a really bad father, but end up amazing people despite that draw back. 

1. Adrian Ivashkov from the Vampire Academy and Bloodlines series by Richelle Mead

He is awesome. He is compassionate. He is loyal. He is handsome. He is an artist. He is caring. 

I love the amazing character development he overcomes throughout these two series. I love how much he does for love. He is also hilarious. I laughed so much whenever I read his amazing jokes. I am constantly surprised by the self-less actions he does to help his friends. He is dauntless even though he is a not a physical fighter. He also is a brilliant thinker when he wants to. He also really likes cherry sluchies. He is determined to live life to the fullest. 

My favorite quotes: 

"The greatest changes in history have come because people were able to shake off what people told them to." - Adrian in Bloodlines by Richelle Mead

"Rose Hathaway, I can't wait to see you again. If you're this charming while tired and annoyed and this gorgeous while bruised and in ski clothes, you must be devastating at your peak." Frostbite by Richelle Mead

"Yeah? Can you draw a skeleton riding a motorcycle with flames coming out of it? And I want a skeleton riding a motorcycle with flames coming out of it? And I want a pirate hat on the skeleton. And a parrot on his shoulder. A skeleton parrot. Or maybe a ninja skeleton parrot? No, that would be overkill. But it'd be cool if the biker skeleton could be shooting some ninja throwing stars. That are on fire." - Adrain in Bloodlines by Richelle Mead. 

"Why not see which is brighter: your aura or the sun?" - Adrain in The Golden Lily by Richelle Mead

"Come on, we have to get you out of here before you get worse. What were you thinking.'
His expression was astonishing nonchalant for someone who looked like he would pass out. "It was worth it. You looked ... happy." - Sydney and Adrain in The Golden Lily by Richelle Mead 

2. Thayer Vega from The Lying Game Series by Sara Shepard 

He is amazing. He is surprising. He is passionate. He is charming. He is a fiercely loyal. He is chivalrous.

Unlike Adrain, I only fell in love with this book boy from two books. Every time I re-read a book he is in, I first rush to one of his marvelous moments before I start at the beginning of the story. Every scene he is in, he leaves a mark. I love how he never breaks a promise or reveals a secret that will ruin anyone he cares about life. He is not ambivalent in what he wants and cares for someone he thinks is his ex-girlfriend. 

My favorite quotes:

"Thayer rotated his shoulder gently, then met her gaze. 'It's one thing for him to say things about me. But I can't stand him insulting you." - in Hide and Seek by Sara Shepard 

"And then he sat down, pulled her close, and hugged her tight. 'Your'll be find. I promise," he whispered ever so softly into her ear."- in Hide and Seek by Sara Shepard 

"Thayer stared after her, his eyes soft in the moonlight. 'You know I'm always here for you, Sutton."

- in Hide and Seek by Sara Shepard 

So who are your favorite book crushes?

Thanks for reading!
