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

March 30, 2015 by Keely 1 Comment

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

December 9, 2014 by Diana 1 Comment

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.”…
