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.

The Classics Spin #2 is here!!!

So since the first Classic Spin was such a hit, the moderators over at the Classics Club decided to do another one. This Monday they will announce the number that is randomly picked between 1 and 20 and then whatever the title is that corresponds with the number is the Classic I need to try and read before July 1. I can pick any 20 titles from the my Classics Club list. For the last one I read Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens and loved it. Maybe I will have the same luck this time around. And so without further ado... Here is my Classic Spin List 2.0!! Already On My Shelf:  1. The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer  2. The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoevsky  3. The Silmarillion by J.R.R.

"Mansfield Park" Thoughts

I finished Jane Austen's Mansfield Park on Sunday and have just now sat down with the intention of writing about my final thoughts of it. I took a day of not starting any new books or do anything book related so that I could just sit, soak in the memories of Mansfield Park and form my thoughts about it for my wrap-up post. In my last post about Mansfield Park I wrote that I was falling in love with the book despite it having so many reviews against it. And I have to say that I finished the book absolutely loving it. While there were moments and characters in particular that drove me crazy and made me want to spit, I loved the story as a whole and Jane Austen's expert way of weaving a story that touches the heart.  It was my second book of Austen's that I have read in its entirety and was definitely worth every minute and even staying up way past my usual bedtime on Sunday to finish. I wrote in my first post about things I loved. The slowness of the story and the cha

A Classics Spin

The wonderful moderators over at the Classics Club decided to give us a little mini-challenge. A little spin on the Classics Club challenge to read at least 50 classics in 5 years. This mini-challenge is to make a list of 20 Classics from our lists that we haven't read yet...  they are calling it our Spin List . We can pick some that we are excited for, some we are dreading, some from our favorite authors or any number of combinations. We have to number the books 1 to 20 and then next week the moderators are going to pick and post a random number. Whatever that number is we have to read the corresponding book on our list by April 1st... even if it is one that we are dreading and just can't get into. I love this idea and am looking forward to it. I have been enjoying all of my reading so far this year, especially since I have been alternating between fiction and non-fiction. So, I think this is going to be a great way of picking what I read next. Without further ado... Here is m
