Top Ten Tuesday -- Book Boyfriends


I haven't done one of these Top Ten Tuesday posts from the Broke and the Bookish in, well, years. But today's topic was intriguing and while these are really more my favorite male characters than boyfriends, I wanted to share them with you.

So, without further ado... here are my top ten favorite male characters (or book boyfriends)!

1. Laurie Laurence from Little Women. I fell in love with his curly headed, mischievous, big-hearted self. And he proved to be loyal even in the face of heartache and rejection.

2. Aragorn from The Lord of the Rings. I loved him first when Vigo Mortenson played him in the movies. But then I loved him even more when I read the books.

3. Almanzo Wilder from Little House on the Prairie. Who doesn't love Almanzo and the way he rode through the blizzard to bring Half-Pint home??

4. Fitzwilliam Darcy. Do I need to explain this one? Really?

5. DJ from Weddings by Bella. I love his southern gentleman charm.

6. Peta from Hunger Games. I know this one could be controversial in some circles. But I really did love Peta from the very beginning.

7. Peter from Peter Pan. Who wouldn't love a boy who went on adventures, taught you to fly and defeated pirates?

8. Dickon from The Secret Garden. I love his way of interacting with Mary and Colin. His love for nature and people is so endearing.

9. Neville Longbottom from Harry Potter. His clumsiness is precious, but his heart and loyalty are true and what made me love him.

10. Gilbert Blythe from Anne of Green Gables. He may have driven Anne crazy at first, but he won her heart and then won mine.

There you have it. What are you top ten favorite book boyfriends?

    Gilbert and Anne are two of my favorite literally couples. A dream vacation of mine is to go see where the books are inspired from.

Am I afraid of a certain Classic?

I haven't written here much at all. Mostly because I have been blogging over at my other site and just haven't had much to write in regards to books and reading here. But this month's discussion question for Classic Club members is one I just couldn't pass by:  What classic piece of literature most intimidates you, and why? Or, are you intimidated by the classics, and why? And has your view changed at all since you joined our club? I think the two major pieces of classic literature that I am most intimidated by are the works of William Shakespeare and Les Miserables by Victor Hugo. I am usually not intimidated by the Classics. In fact, I lov e reading C lassics and have begun quite the collection on my shelves. B ut those t wo men and their writings stare me in the face like a brick wall that I'll never be able to climb over.  I have read Victor Hugo's Th e Hunchback of Notre Dame and absolutely hated it . There were sections in the book where it ...

Dickens in December

What is your favorite memory of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol? Have you ever read it? If not, will you? Why should others read it rather than relying on the film adaptions? So, I have to be completely honest and make a confession... I have never in my almost 24 years of life and 20ish years of reading ever actually finished a book by Charles Dickens. I own all of his books (whether in hard copy or on my Nook), but I have never actually finished one of his works. I attempted to read Oliver Twist and David Copperfield back when I was in junior high and maybe high school. But I gave up not long after starting them. I have seen the movies, in fact they are two of my favorite movies of all time, but sadly I have failed in reading the books. And honestly, I have no idea why. I think back when I first tried to read them they were just a little too hard for me. The older English grammar. The more detailed and intricate story-lines. They just made it hard for me to get through. With tha...

Top Ten Tuesday: Summer Reads

It's "Top Ten Tuesday" from The Broke and the Bookish and this week's topic is about what books am I looking forward to reading this summer. So here's my list! 1. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien. This is a re-read for me, but I am excited to do it as a group-read/event. 2. Candide by Voltaire. I am actually starting this one today and looking forward to it since it sounds so intriguing and tackles a tough topic. 3.. The Secret Garden by Francis Hodgson Burnett. I have seen the movie countless times, but I never read the book. It's already sitting on my shelf and just waiting to be opened. 4. Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers. I have been wanting to read this book since it came out. But never got the chance. So, I am going to make time for it this summer. 5. Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. I just finished her sister's Jane Eyre and can't wait to be introduced into Emily's writing style. 6. Mixed Signals by Liz Curti...
