Our last Literary Crush was Chase from Some of the Parts by Hannah Barnaby, and today we bring you Jefferson from The Gold Seer Trilogy: Walk on Earth a Stranger and Like a River Glorious by Rae Carson. Yes, I’m waiting anxiously for the third and final book in The Gold Seer trilogy, Into the…
Literary Crush: Chase from Some of the Parts
After a long hiatus, Literary Crush is back with Chase from Some of the Parts by Hannah Barnaby. Name: Chase Abbott Age: 16 What does he look like? Tall and lanky with dark curly hair and dark eyes. A dead ringer (please excuse the unfortunate pun) for the female main character’s dead brother. What does…
Literary Crush: Gray from The Forgetting
We don’t usually post back-to-back Literary Crushes, but we can’t help it this week. In honor of today’s release of The Forgetting by Sharon Cameron, we’re highlighting the riveting new book with a Literary Crush of its own. Name: Gray the Glassblower’s Son Age: Seventeen-ish.

Literary Crush: Elias Veturius from Ember & Torch
In honor of the release of the second book in the Ember in the Ashes series, A Torch Against the Night, I had to throw the spotlight on Elias Veturius from An Ember in the Ashes – he’s too delicious a literary crush to pass up! Name: Elias Veturius Age: 20 What does he…
Literary Crush: Prince Brigan from Fire by Kristin Cashore

He has a stern face, gray eyes, and eyebrows described as “unfriendly.” Battle scarred and clean-shaven (except when he’s been out fighting monsters for too long).He’s not given a lot of physical description,…
Literary Crush: Josh Bennett from The Sea of Tranquility
It has been a couple of months since our last Literary Crush (Darrow — swoon!), and since I realized I never wrote one about Josh Bennett, here he is for everyone to admire. I recently re-read “The Sea of Tranquility” on audiobook (such good performances!), and I replayed my favorite scenes over and over again….
Literary Crush: Darrow from Red Rising Trilogy by Pierce Brown
Literary Crush: Darrow from Red Rising and Golden Son by Pierce Brown I kept seeing rave reviews for these books on my Goodreads page and finally decided to read them over winter break. Reading is not actually what happened – I lived breathed and devoured them both. The story itself is fantastic, you owe it…
Literary Crush: Matt Finch from Open Road Summer by Emery Lord
Since Sandie took the trouble to send me her copy of “Open Road Summer,” I figured it was definitely worth reading right away. It turned out to be a cute, fun, and surprisingly substantial read about friendship, fame, and love. Yes, in some ways it was predictable (it was obvious the first time we meet…
Literary Crush: Jase Garrett from My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick
Happy April Fool’s Day! We know today’s post should really be about fictional birthday boys Fred and George Weasley, but alas, the twins — as much as we adore them — aren’t really literary crushes for us. Instead, Diana is celebrating one of YA’s most wonderful guys ever, Jase Garrett! –Sandie Sandie and I almost…
Literary Crushes: Kai, Wolf, and Thorne from The Lunar Chronicles
Marissa Meyer‘s “The Lunar Chronicles” series is the latest choice of topic for Sandie and I since I recently finished reading the whole series. We’ve had fun discussing the three couples, but most especially the male counterparts. Since we love all three of them we decided to feature them together as our latest “literary crushes.”…
