I LOVE THIS TOPIC. I love it. I’ve been reading my whole life, and I’ve loved books long before I ever got it in my head that I could talk about the books I love on the internet for people to read, so to go back and think about the books I have read and loved is a nice trip down memory lane. But it also reminds me how much my reading habits have changed since I started blogging. I didn’t start reading YA until I went to library school in my late 20s, so most of my favorite books from the bulk of my life were adult books. Now that I’ve started blogging, I read almost exclusively YA—not that I mind—but thanks to my reading habit, I read quite a bit of adult stuff before I started my blog, too. So basically my list is a mish mash of stuff.
I did set some parameters for myself because “before I was a blogger” is a pretty long time, so I didn’t go back so far as my favorite books from when I was a kid because that’s a whole different list. This is basically a list of my favorite books that I chose and read for myself as an adult, and my favorite YA books I read during and just after I got my MLIS but before October 2011—my first month as a blogger. WHEW. I hope you’re not surprised that there are more than 10 books on here. [Read more…]

Book boyfriends!!! YAY! Friends, there are so many guys from books that I crush on. SO. MANY. I know there maybe should be something weird about crushing on fake people, but I for real can’t help it. Guys in books are better than the ones in real life because they can’t reject me or make me feel like crapola. Because they’re fake! It’s the best thing! Here are 10 of my favorites, in no particular order. I love this Top Ten Tuesday.
From GOING TOO FAR by Jennifer EcholsY’all, two words for you: Cop. Uniform. I CANNOT. John After is so steamy and kind of dark and deep and broody and stubborn. He was my first encounter with an Echols boy and he’s still my favorite.
Duval is one of those guys who’s kind of sneaky hot. Maybe he isn’t the mostly delicious thing to look at, but DANG if you don’t fall completely in love with him because he respects you and treats you like an equal and values you. I’d LOVE to date him.
Ah, Po. Po has got that charm, right? I feel like Po is the kind of boyfriend who becomes instant bffs with your mom because he just has charisma and confidence and is a good flirt. But he’s loyal and devoted and supportive of YOU.
I most certainly cannot present this list to you all without including at least one solid brooder. It was nearly a tie between Adam and Conrad Fischer from Jenny Han’s Summer series. I get kind of exhausted by excessive brooders in real life, so I like to indulge in the fake ones, and Adam is a great one. Also, MUSICIAN.
Friends, is there not something a little bit hot about a guy who takes care of his family? Am I one of those LAME girls who is attracted to…responsibility? OMG THAT’S SO BORING. But seriously, Michael Merrick is like my dark horse hottie. He’s got skeletons, but he’s also got DEPENDENTS. Possibly the only brooder I could stand on a more permanent basis in real life.
That’s right friends. I couldn’t decide between one Robin LaFevers man (I cannot call Duval and Beast “boys” or even “guys”. They are MEN. *fans self*.) I included them both. There’s something about a man who’s nickname is Beast, amirite? He’s strong and beefy, but sweet and funny, too.
Ah, the tortured artist. The passionate, effervescent, emotional free spirit. I have loved Joe Fontaine basically since the moment I met him, and I can’t imagine ever letting him go. I’ll throw down for Joe and his batting eyelashes.
I know that sometimes Etienne was a noob, staying with his girlfriend who didn’t even compare to Anna. But he’s another one with the charm and the confidence. I have no defenses against such a weapon, except possibly my own awkwardness.
Truth: one of my biggest crushes of my whole high school-Amy life looked exactly the way Morgan Matson describes Roger: Tall, light hair, brown eyes, some freckles, totally sweet and wonderful and friendly. I ADORE Roger. Forever. He’s a home-bringer.
Gotta get a ginger up in here! Kvothe is a force of hotness in that way that is hard to describe. He’s just magnetic and attractive and has a swagger. Like, I can’t believe that MORE girls at the University aren’t flipping their shizz over him. He’s smart and a rebel and…he’s basically a high fantasy cowboy. I am a puddle.
